A Quiet Place

[SoddyNole]

A surprisingly good movie. I would suggest waiting until the crowds thin out. Any sound coming from the audience is amplified in the theater during most of this movie and you can hear someone smacking on popcorn anywhere in the room.

I was reading reviews and supposedly it’s great.

It's pretty good. Wasn't expecting all the subtitles prior as op eluded too. Will talk more if spoilers are aloud.

My understanding of the plot is that you have to be quiet and if you make noise some creatures will come and get you. And the main characters are a family and expecting a baby.

I get wanting to have the baby, but everyone knows you cannot keep a baby quiet. Why would they add a baby to the equation if it’s just going to mean your entire family is probably gonna die?

If my kids were still little I would probably take them to see the movie for this reason.

Read a few articles about how people were scared to even eat their popcorn due to how quiet the entire movie is.

I really want to see this one now.

I really enjoyed it. Though the theater was crowded, people actually behaved and were quiet.

It was a neat experience imo. The silence intensifies your hearing and you pay attention to each and every small sound, that is why the theater experience can really be an issue if people don't behave. This was my son's, 12 year-old, first horror film and even though he was covering his eyes the audio experience was more frighting than the creatures themselves.

I also have to give props to John Krasinski. What a bold venture to attempt this movie in a genre historically filled with bad films and poor acting. As popular as he was on the show Office, I think he may have found his true talent in directing and props to the entire cast for a job well done.

Let me also add there is no build up in this movie. The intensity hits you early. So if you do order popcorn you may find yourself setting it down early.

He has grown into a hugely well rounded talent in the industry. He apparently also rewrote the script. And apparently we have 2 years.



It seems interesting, I want to see it sometime, but my wife has 0 interest. Re the notion of "why have kids when you know they make noise...." Well, if you don't have kids then you know the species is lost and if you aren't willing to propagate the genes, what is the point of living in hiding for your entire miserable life?

Bravo...

Please tell me this was on purpose.
