On the edge of my seat for the whole 90 minutes

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2018)

The use of sound as an ever present source of tension is employed to terrifyingly great effect. 'A Quiet Place' is definitely up there among my favourites of 2018 so far. The films greatest strength is it's superb execution of it's core hook helped along by it's great pacing, finding time to build meaningful connections with each character and yet being almost completely devoid of fat. Once the film grips you it will not let you go until the end credits roll. Admittedly there were a few moments towards the end where I had to suspend my disbelief, however this was always quickly usurped by the urgency of the new situation being presented. One of the most see Horror of 2018!
