Beyond Amazing. More Than Advertised.

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2018)

So, apart from a star-studded cast of several Academy Award winners and a gripping story, this movie is what another supposedly marvelous popcorn horror flick - A Quiet Place - should have been. It's a story about survival and it's as intense as it gets.
Without wanting to spoil anything, this is truly about survival when something out of this world attacks. Is it aliens, is it Evil incarnate, is it sheer madness? In the end it doesn't really matter what's attacking the last surviving people in the planet. The story and how it unfolds as well as the consequences are dramatic and almost realistic. This had me in goosebumps in the end and, for once, the stakes were real and the terror palpable.
I love Sandra Bullock in this. I thought it would be a cheesy vanity project but it's a fantastic story, from start to finish. And finally, dumb decisions have consequences, and so do smart ones for once. Still, it's fiction, but it's gripping and terrifying at all times. Drama. Horror. Action. Just enjoy the terror. Best one so far on Netflix.
