I Did NOT Handle A Quiet Place Very Well - Фільми й анімація
Fun Fact: They ( the Producers ) didnt plan on an actual deaf girl playing the part, but John Krasinski wanted an actual deaf girl to play her, and made everyone learn sign language.
On a side note, another very good Emily Blunt movie is Edge of Tomorrow, also starring Tom Cruise. Very good sci fi film.
Other good Emily Blunt movies are 5 year Engagement and The Devil Wears Prada
Yesss edge of tomorrow !!!!!
uP
John Krasinski was not only the Director, but the writer and head producer.
Yay for Krasinski, nay for Tom Cruise.
Imagine seeing this in a cinema....I've never been in a cinema that was SO silent. And everytime you heard someone eating popcorn it made the whole thing even more scary!
Or annoying considering talking people.
I agree I saw it twice in Theaters and it was so much fun
I didn't even want to eat popcorn, especially during some scenes, everyone was so quiet and stopped eating too. It really was an experience
It was like everyone in the theater thought the creatures would swoop in and kill us if we made noise.😅
That might have been the only time I didn’t finish my popcorn during the movie. I think I walked out with 3/4 of the bucket full and ate later.
This movie is so effective because since it’s quiet, you go quiet and any sound gives you a panic attack because you’re in the same survival mode as them and sound equals death. 😂
They should have called the movie “silent anxiety attack” lol
Alex knowing that they have super hearing but not realizing that the opening in their heads is a giant EAR is the most on brand thing for Alex ever
This movie is especially sweet because Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are married in real life. You have GOT to watch the second movie, it explains a lot of why they had to all go quiet. Loved the video ❤
Pt 2 baby we gon get it
You need to learn reaction commenting etiquette. Why would you spoil it like that
@@Hey_Jamie what exactly did they spoil lol
@@Hey_Jamie? What was spoiled?
@@Hey_Jamiethe only thing spoiled here is u
the next Emily Blunt movie to check out should definitely be the Edge of Tomorrow, it's absolutely amazing and so underrated imo
That’s what I said
As soon as he said the only movie I’ve seen her in if I didn’t hear edge of tomorrow y’all already know 😂😂
so underrated that everyone thinks its good lol
@@mjeid4835 I meant most people don't even know this masterpiece exists
I freaking love Emily blunt
The "does the baby cry inside the mother?" question made me laugh hard. 😅
Saw this in theaters when it came out and the ONLY thing that broke the silence in my theatre was when Emily Blunt’s character stepped on that nail. Everyone in my theatre winced and shrieked at it.
oh yeah i remember the collective oos and ahhs bc we all knew it was coming from the earlier scene when the nail got pulled out and another round of holy shits following when she silently pulled her foot off. Amazingly strong character and emily blunt did phenomenal.
that thing under its armour you were confused about is an ear. they have very sensitive hearing to help them hunt but are blind. the high pitch sound gets to them because of their really sensitive hearing, not because they hate sounds, they just hear really, really well
yeah i know the struggle my Ears are sensitive af and i live with 3 loud ppl in a house and they don´t care
I don't get how he didn't think that this weird thing they heard sounds from was his ear lmao. He said eye and mouth but never thought of ear?!?
Yeah, and they attack things that made sounds because that's how they hunt. Sounds = must be alive. Which should be an obvious take but i just said it because he said they attack things cause they hate sounds.
Interesting. In Space, no one can hear you Scream (ie. Alien promo). Maybe that’s why they hated Sound so much. Just an observation. 🙂
@@FruchtZwergeLpyeah that was pretty dumb 😕
13:20 inside the womb the baby acts as if it would cry but it doesn’t make a sound because they’re completely immersed in amniotic fluid so there’s no air in the lungs & air is needed to produce sound
I’m actually still laughing that Alex passed the bar exam, and still asked that question, straight men will always entertain me. Lmao
@@kristianberg4264 So did Rudy Guiliani.
You don't necessarily have to be a genius to be a lawyer!
air is needed to produce sound? Im ... not entirely convinced thats the case, ive taught musical acoustics for years, and went to grad school for astrophsyics. You just need a medium for sound to travel in. Sure can't do it in space, but some of the loudest sounds are made under water by whales. I guess you could make an argument that those sounds need air for lungs, but fish can produce sound via other parts called stridulation. Perhaps the argument is that a baby crying would need lungs with air, but ... I'm gonna push back in saying that its a bit more complicated than just needing air to create sounds.
Sorry I know im that guy, I just went to school for like 12 fucking years for this shit, so I find it compulsory to explain.
its not air necessarily sound needs medium to travel and air is one of em
@@evenglare You're right about fish not needing air to make sound, but they make sound with something other than vocal cords. Human vocal cords need air to produce sound. We can't vibrate the cords together in water. People screaming underwater is because they have air in their lungs that they're forcing out, but it there's no air, there's no sound.
Alex getting jump-scared by an irl babbling brook setting on a white noise machine just made my life.
😂😂😂😂
@@alexhefnerstvmovievaulti wonder if you can do a movie reaction to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 2014??
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault if you don’t know what creature that is, it is an alien. It’s an alien, humanoid creature that has insensitive hearing and is blind. 3:37
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault those things are basically death angels/aliens
@@nicodimatteothe species name is “Death Angel”
It’s safe to say, Emily Blunts character absolutely 💯 suffered the most at the end of this movie. The kid, her husband, her daughter and other kid, then the nail, giving birth with killer aliens hunting her a few feet away lol, she had it super rough
Oh my god, I am living for Alex’s screams of terror.
Same, it’s more entertaining than any comedy reaction 😂
Ever since Home Alone 2, a loose nail on the stairs into the foot is one of my greatest fears and it grosses me out every time.
John made everyone learn sign language so the communication would be genuine as the actress who played his daughter is actually deaf.
John Krazinski, lead actor and husband to Emily Blunt also wrote and directed this film.
Fall into a grain bin without safety equipment is basically fatal. If you do fall in you should not move as when you do your movements push you further down. It's really sad. Always take the time for safety even if you're just checking something quick.
People being jump scared doesn't usually make me laugh but with you it's hilarious. The screams come from so deep within your soul that I can't help but cackle every time.
😂😂😂😂😂
When I watched it in theaters it was amazing how the normally loud crowd was absolutely silent, you could have heard a pin drop. Amazing movie, amazing experience.
I need him to drop part 2 immediately. Seeing him jump for the most infinitesimal sound was hilarious.😂
I have never laughed so much at another's jump scares as I have at yours, my good man.
A couple fun facts John Krasinski who played the father in this movie wrote the script and Directed this film. It was his first directing for a horror film. Also Emily Blunt is married to John in real life so that is why they have insane chemistry in the film as husband and wife.
This movie is phenomenal! When John let his wife Emily read the script she said “ you must let me play this woman”
You should watch The Martian. Gives a pretty accurate example of what happens when you mix concentrated oxygen and fire.
I second the Martian!! One of my favorite movies
First issue I had with the movie was when they left the store. There should always be a parent in front & another at the end of the line.
Don’t get me started lmao there’s just way too many of those moments in this movie for me to like it
that felt early on when they were more new to the whole thing, mistakes make you learn they didn't have hindesight that's not a movie problem that's a mistake they made
Nah just like when the kid opens the door and screams… dumb. The baby not crying dumb. The kids can stomp and sprint though the field but if they barely whisper or fart they’re dead. Where is the government? They could easily destroy these things. The girl realizing her earpiece saves the day but not telling anybody. I Like the original idea and acting but hate the overall execution. And I wouldn’t let my kids walk behind me and my wife at the mall let alone in the middle of monster infested grounds
@@juicebox151she didn’t realize her ear piece did that. she just thought it was acting up the whole time
@@juicebox151 Where is the government? Probably all hiding in bunkers waiting for it to all blow over. You absolutely cannot depend on the government in a dire situation. Hell you can barely depend on them in good times.
It was a pleasure watching you jump at every opportunity this film gave.
Also the girl playing the daughter is a real life deaf person and during filming she was teaching the others ASL in order to keep it looking as authentic as possible.
14:14 Yeah, her acting was so phenomenal. She nailed it!
XD
10:00 "If I were in, dude, I would die from the fucking roomba!" XD
The scene in the grocery store you notice all the shelves have been ransacked except the potato chips because they are too noisy.
I like this observation!!!!
Alex being jumpscared

The kid didn’t want to wear the earpiece because everytime the dad tried to fix it it never worked. She basically hasn’t been able to use her hearing aid since the apocalypse started. She was mad that she couldn’t hear and had lost hope so she tried to convince her dad to quit trying to help her.
She also blames herself for her brother being killed because of the hearing aid being broken and she couldn’t hear him plus she gave him the toy.
Part 2 may not be as bad but its still got some pretty good wtf moments and nice edge of your seat moments. This was great to see Alex…Hope you eventually do Part 2. I think the whole cast really did amazing in this and for this to be John’s directorial debut…he couldnt have done a better job.
I love part 2!
May not be as bad? In my opinion, I personally think part 2 is better than the first. It shows more danger with the setting
@@chiomorii agreed, part 2 is better.
Part II had me silent screaming lmao
My husband made me watch this movie when I was PREGNANT! So much worse pregnant. I don't even like horror movies, but this one was so well done I had to give it props.
This is a scary movie. But watching it with you, I was laughing through most if it. The jump scares, your little quips, and your editor making fun of you( the slow clapping bit)...good stuff!
I'm not into horror films, either, Alex, but this IS a slappin' movie! EDIT: It wasn't the girls fault her brother got killed. She took out the batteries before giving it to him. She didn't know he grabbed them back up. She just didn't realize he didn't understand the importance of not using them.
I'm sure someone has probably beat me to it, but John Krasinski co-wrote the story with 2 other writers, he directed it and played the husband. He actually is married to Emily Blunt, but the kids were just actors. The girl, played by Millicent Simmonds is actually deaf.
BTW, there's a Part II. 😁
I just want the full compilation of Alex's jumpscare screams.
Hopefully we get that shit before new years, 2023 comp of his jump scares 😭😭
I LOVE A Quiet Place!! Probably the only "horror" film I actually love (I don't really consider it horror, more like sci-fi thriller with a sweet epicenter). Lemme say I audibly gasped when I saw the notif for this video!
Also, can we just appreciate that this movie pulls zero punches? The youngest kid dies in the first five minutes, it immediately gives us the stakes! Nobody's safe! The setups and payoffs in this are downright BRILLIANT. It takes an interesting premise and delivers!
5:57 the comedic timing of the jump scare is just perfect
The part with the corn silo is that, that is A real life thing. It is horrifying to even comprehend ..but it is a thing that could happen if someone where to fall into it.
I've never been a fan of horror movies but this movie is absolutely INCREDIBLE and I loved it (probably because it's not a gory kind of horror film and just has a few jumps). John Krasinski did a fantastic job bringing this to life and of course Emily Blunt and the two kids were fantastic too. This movie truly was unlike anything else and genuinely made you wanna sit there completely silent and not move whenever you watched it, especially in cinemas - people trying to not even rustle their popcorn buckets because they were freaked out. 😂 I LOVED that they put the audio into the daughters perspective whenever she was on screen, because of course she's deaf she can't hear the monsters and other sounds. Such a clever detail. 👏🏻 Hope you watch Part 2!
Same. I've never been into gory, R-rated hacker slasher horror movies (I'm actually pretty squeamish about such things). A Quiet Place 1 and 2 are the only ones I like, because they're more suspense than true horror. And I like that they used a girl who's deaf in real life instead of just having someone pretending.
Absolutely agreed! She did a brilliant job in her role. And agreed on the hacker/gory movies, they're just absolutely not my thing. However, this one had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Brilliant job!@@joshuariddensdale2126
Now you have to watch part 2. It is on the same level as this one and is just as good, if not, better
I think the first one is a bit better due to its suspense - and maybe because this type of movie was something new, the second one had a bit more action in it. But I didn't regret buying both films in one case when it dropped on Amazon, and at that point I had never watched the second one! I love them both equally but for different reasons~ Great movies!
😂 Oh my Alex you just killed me with the Roomba saying:
“Hell no! I’d die from the f**king roomba. You just killed me b*tch!!” 😆
This movie is genius because it even makes the audience want to hold their breath and not make any noise
OMG Thank you for finally watching this!!! oh and the daughter is deaf in real life and yes Emily and John are married irl. People die in silos all the time. its like 1000 lbs of pressure if you get sucked into it and please watch the second one
THANK YOU for watching this one! I got SO excited that you watched this one, and was giggling at EVERY. SINGLE. jump scare you reacted to. Best reaction yet from you I've seen!
BEST reaction I've seen from a reaction video-PERIOD.
I saw the film at a press screening with 8 other critics. The cinema was so quiet... and every sound was like a clap of thunder. Because my English isn't that good, I was glad that there wasn't so much talking. But this film is proof that there are actors who can convey the greatest emotions with the smallest of resources.
Love this franchise/series (more to come). Fresh new writing, director and young actors. And the adult casting is perfect.
No, that's not its eye, it's its ear, that's why it hears so good.
I had WAYYYYYY too much fun watching this 💀
"better a disappointed kid now than a dead one later"

Alex, your editing ALWAYS has me in stitches! I also loved how going into the movie, you were a bit skeptical about the movie. It was like you were broadcasting "How scary can this really be?" Joking about how they had to be quiet all the time. And then by the second half, you were pretty much a member of the family, holding your mouth closed and screaming any time something bad happened.
The second movie is EVEN BETTER. The theme of this one was redemption. You caught it. But there's a different theme in the second one. It's powerful, as well.

@@mmkay3296, if I recall correctly, Alex edits his own videos, so it is his editing. Have you never seen his alter ego, Editing Alex?
This was a unexpected treat! Loved this movie, you definitely gotta check out the sequel it’s even scarier!
watching dylan get scared over and over is premium content.
Dylan 😂😂
Bro was definitely thinking of Dylan Is In Trouble💀
Talking about Emily Blunt, you must watch Edge of Tomorrow. It's one of those great movies that did not get enough attention because of the "superhero era" that we were living. Amazing stuff, great acting, great story, creative aliens, etc.
It was certainly not hard for Emily Blunt to be silent during this movie as she was mute on purpose for years duiring her childhood because of a bad stuttering
"i dont know, fuck it" when you were talking about oxygen was the funniest thing ive heard today! lol
And, yes. It's highly flammable.
Now you gotta go watch part 2. This is a stand alone movie if you want... but A Quiet Place II is basically like the second half of a bigger story. Def give it a go. You'd think the effect would wear off after the first one... like, what else could they do?? But it's actually such a great movie too. I would always watch the back to back.
Oh nice! Can’t wait to check that out!!
@@alexhefnerstvmovievaultyes please please please do the second one!!!
I watched this on premiere day and I’ve never been in a theatre more quiet then this one. Whenever someone would eat or drink anything, we could all hear it and it just made people more anxious lol
Your screams are scaring me more than the actual scenes 😂
🤣 People need to recommend more horror movies because Alex's reactions to the jump scares or the slightest random sound or noise in his room is hysterical.
"So, is the nail gonna be handy for later?"
Nope, it's gonna be for FOOT later...
I’m not gonna lie if he was to see a scary movie with his lights dimmed all the way down it would honestly be the best . This man would look over his shoulder the hole move 😂😂😂
LOLing at your "Why are we learning math?" Still important, even in an apoccyclipse.
There cannot be fire without oxygen,Alex 😅
He was right though pure oxygen is insanely light-able that’s why people with oxygen tanks can’t have a lighter any where near them because if a little fire goes in the whole thing can explode
@@reganborrellifaithinthefut3251Right and wrong; oxygen itself isn't flammable at all, but it helps everything that IS burn way, way more easily, so you basically treat it the same way as if it were.
For those of you who don't know, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are married ( in real life).
The man who's wife died, screamed to bring the attention to himself. Partly because he wanted to die, and partly to give the family a chance to get away.
The old man was trying to get all 3 killed.
Red means, she is having the child.
And the thing you think is the eyes is it's ears, earlier it said they were blind.
I love the second it continues the story and we learn how everything started.
John Krasinski said in a Wired Most Googled Questions video that he wrote A Quiet Place as a love letter to his kids. 🥲
Wtf seriously? 😂😂😂
Your fear of horror movies with suspense is hilarious to watch because most of us felt the same way watching these for the first time. Thanks for the reaction and please watch the second one! These actors/actresses did an amazing job.
“Is that nail gonna come in handy later?” No, but it’ll come in footy.
When you’re in quicksand, you’ll stop sinking once you’ve displaced enough sand equivalent to what you weigh.
John Krasinski said in a Most Googled Questions video that he wrote the movie as a love letter to his kids.
I just love this movie so fucking much. I saw it in cinemas on the same day I saw whichever Avengers movie was out at the time - I saw this during the day and Avengers at night - and I barely gave Avengers a second thought for WEEKS afterwards, I was so taken by this movie. EVERYTHING about it is just incredible, and tragic, and sweet, and terrifying, and just so beautiful.
A couple of quick fun facts: John Krasinski wrote and directed - a huge change from being best known as Jim from The Office - and his on-screen wife is played by his real-life wife. The daughter in deaf IRL so the rest of the cast had to learn ASL, and did so happily. Also, those things you thought might be their eyes aren't, those are their ears and they're huge because the creatures are so sensitive to sound.
IMO the sequel isn't QUITE as good (but that's a bloody hard thing to do) but it's only very slightly 'lesser' because it's less tense, but it does fill in a lot of details about the creatures, and it expands the world a bit more, so it's definitely worth watching.
"the baby screams inside?" ....Alex my man you are so clueless it's hilarious 😂
I watched this in theaters... It was terrifying to be surrounded by a big screen with loud scares.
I would love to see you reacting to japanese horror movies. You'd need a paramedic nearby.
its my birthday!! I'm 18 now, joining the navy, passed the SEAL entry program but, I could not be happier watching this video, amazing.
Happy birthday and good luck dude
Congratulations and happy birthday!
“You just killed me bitch” while talking to the rumba omg I’m dying ur my new fav reactor😂😂😂😂🤝🏾
7:52 - NO spoilers: that actually gets explored in the sequel, which you should watch, as it tells one continuous story right where this one left off. Thanks for subjecting yourself for our amusement.
The girl did not kill her brother. she gave him the rocket. HE took the batteries, not her. He took them after she had walked outside. There was no harm in him having the rocket without the batteries. Unfortunately as a child herself, she didn't think to stop and make sure he left with JUST the rocket. It probably never occurred to her that he would take the batteries once her back was turned. though she definitely blames herself, it's not really her fault. It was a child doing childish things and someone gets hurt or killed. it happens in the every day world too ☹
edit: wow who on earth are YOU playing monopoly with?? I've never seen anyone throw the pieces or board 😆
This was so entertaining to watch. You are so jumpy! 🤣
I never knew I needed to hear Alex screaming like crazy at every noise😂
13:18
No, the baby cannot cry inside the mother. The child has the capacity to do so, however, never will because it cannot yet breathe. It is still attached to the umbilical cord in the womb, and thus doesn't need to use their lungs yet to get oxygen. The heart is beating, circulating the oxygen in the blood, but the source is not yet the lungs. Sound is generated almost entirely by the movement of air past the vocal cords, and that's also why people who are choking on broccoli or whatnot can't shout "help I'm choking", because if you can't breathe, you can't speak.
Honestly, very good and interesting question.
In quicksand, the best strategy is to ocupy the most superficial space you can. On other words, you should be the most horizontal you can, with legs and arms open.
I really hope you watch the second one, because the opening moments are not only chef's kiss amazing, but key. Great video as always.
Noted!
I am totally enjoying myself. This is the best review with the greatest jump scares I’ve seen so far. Don’t forget to watch Quiet Place 2 it does have a short spot in the beginning of the movie that explains how all this got started.
In the first scene you can see that nobody has taken any chips or bags from the shelves at the grocery store due to the huge noise that potato chips bag make.
11:18
God that’s dark, imagine trying to live your life feeling like you not only killed your little brother but also feeling like your dad hates you for it
Part 2 is a must watch. Starts with some flash back to day 0. And I agree with watching Edge of Tomorrow.
the amount of times he junped and screamed fuck is unreasonably hilarious
The part with your roomba killed me.
I’m a 29-year-old woman why the hell am I commenting this knowing full well, you won’t see it? 😂
Nah, both of those kids would have been gone in that silo. That shit is way scarier than quicksand
Calling us Sadists would be an understatement 😈 😂 Happy Spooky October everyone
Alex you jumscared me so many fucking times in this reaction , great editing though about gave me a heart attack
the babbling brook jump scare is an instant classic
Everyone in the movie had to learn sign language because the girl is actually deaf. It was John's idea. He would not do the movie if the deaf actress wasn't hired.
This one and the sequel are Amazing.
This was such an interesting experience in the theater. For the most part, we are all courteous movie-goers, and are quite in the theater... but this movie caused a whole other level of quite.
Take your reaction to the roomba, and apply that to an entire theater. People weren't eating popcorn or nachos... they were silent, instead of quiet.
Yeah, this was John Krasinski's directorial debut... and he starred in it opposite his real life wife. For a movie that could have fallen short because of so many things, it was spectacular
Literally not a scary movie , it’s a thriller.
Try to include Train to Busan for the month of October. I know you don’t love scary movies but this is top tier with a lot of everything (action, intensity, emotion, depth) not simply a horror flick.
