#A quiet place movie movie#
A few overly familiar horror movie clichés keep it from being perfect, but otherwise A Quiet Place is so good that it will leave viewers speechless. Images of water, sand, bare feet, crops, and plant life serve to underline the theme of life itself. Forced to venture into the unknown, they realize the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats lurking beyond the sand path. No explanation is given for the monsters' existence they, like us, are just here. Following the events at home, the Abbott family now face the terrors of the outside world. Drama Horror Sci-Fi Following the events at home, the Abbott family now face the terrors of the outside world. A loud noise can cause a jump, but it's immediately followed by tension and dread: Will the creatures come this time? The real beauty is the movie's primal quality, based on the most basic elements of life, such as survival and protection of the species. A Quiet Place is, in many ways, like an extended classic horror movie sequence, such as famous ones in The Birds or Aliens, wherein the heroes must try not to disturb packs of resting monsters.Īt the same time, Krasinski uses his quiet moments like music, ranging from moments of restful beauty - including a father-son trip to a waterfall, where it's noisy enough that they can talk and even shout - to moments of pause. It's directed and co-written by Krasinski, who's best known for his work in comedy but translates his experience in that genre to the expert building and releasing of tension here. This gripping, clever monster movie is one of those rare genre treats that seizes on a simple, unique idea and executes it so perfectly and concisely that it elicits satisfying squeals of delight.
