A Quiet Place (9/10)

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2018)

A Quiet Place is an astonishing accomplishment from a first-time director, John Krasinski, who is most known for a role in a comedy tv show. This kind of versatility in Hollywood is rare and more people like Krasinski are needed to really resurrect the film franchise. A Quiet Place proves that original content can still crush in the box office, not just the standard, shallow Superhero films that get pumped out. In fact, A Quiet Place is continuing this trend of horror films achieving immense success in the 2017-2018 era, a prospect that remains extremely exciting.
The film itself does a fantastic job in setting a bleak mood and feeling of isolation for the world we know today. This feeling of isolation is felt in one way by the great cinematography, which include an abandoned town, forest and farm, all incredible sights on the big screen. The pace of the film is skillfully worked, having a decent amount of quicker cuts and edits to start and then prolonging scenes during the intense ending. Very well done film, a must watch!
