FANTASTIC

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2018)

'A Quiet Place' reaffirms that not all horror films are generic. This movie is phenomenal. From the opening scene, you are caught COMPLETELY off guard and are on the edge of your seat for the next ninety minutes. You have no idea what's going to happen next.
John Krasinski is a big takeaway from this movie. Not just because of his great performance; he directed this film beautifully. Along with Krasinski, his wife Emily Blunt delivers a fantastic performance, as well as their characters' kids. The best part of this: the characters barely have any dialogue, and they deliver performances at this caliber.
I feel that in order to make a horror-thriller movie work, you have to have a great story and compelling characters rather than jump-scares left and right. Movies in recent memory like 'Don't Breathe', 'Split', 'Get Out', and 'It' have shown me that there is hope for good films out of this genre. 'A Quiet Place' falls into that category.
In conclusion, go see this film. You will be on the edge of your seat and invested in the story. Well done everyone involved.
