Movie - A Quiet Place (2018) [+]
Apr 22 2020
A Quiet Place (2018) is a horror/thriller set a couple of years after the apocalypse. Blind monsters that hunt by sound have wiped out humanity. We follow one lone family as they go about their lives in total silence:
Like any family there are tensions, especially between Lee and Regan over what happened to the youngest daughter, killed a year ago. Meanwhile Evelyn is pregnant and Lee tries to find a way to fight the monsters.
The third act starts as Evelyn's water breaks, she steps on a nail and makes some noise attracting one of the monsters to the country home they live in. Lee and Marcus are gone fishing and Regan is sulking probably half a mile away. It's a last half hour of quiet terror...
This is a very well done movie. If anything it's more terrifying when there is no talking or screaming, with only the background music and camera shots to ramp up the tension. Recommended.
