Oof

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2018)

A lot of the critics don't seem to understand two major things about this movie. A.) it's based on a book. The book came out before a quiet place, so no, it's not a mindless ripoff, and B.) it's not supposed to be a causal scary movie with a scary looking monster. I find the movie really creepy and well done because it does such a great job building suspense. I've seen a lot of people who dislike this movie say it's boring because you don't see the monster and everything isn't perfectly explained. I don't think it has to be. I think building a world but leaving some details obscure is much better than using a CG monster. It's not made to be terrifying, it's made to keep the viewer on edge. Personally, I really enjoyed it, otherwise I wouldn't be reviewing it. I wouldn't normally give it a 10/10 because I don't believe in perfect movies, and it does have its flaws, but it deserves better than a 6.8 and I want to boost its rating.
