I saw this movie in a small town movie theater where the theater it was playing in was located right next to the bathrooms, so every time the hand dryer went on, it's all you could hear in the theater. Long story short: If you're going to see this movie, go to see it in a decent theater where sound contamination will not be a problem.
I knew what this movie was going for with sound design and the building silence in the film. I saw it tonight, but my theater had people constantly on their phones and there was constant talking, ruining this movie. I just cannot stand the movie theater. People just suck and do not care about ruining such a great movie.
agreed I from the moment the first tragedy struck I watched the movie literally wanting it to end as soon as possible without any further tragedy. Terrifying, Sad and Brutal The Quiet Place also has a lot of emotional depth and strong human connect. Very well made movie. Its very emphatic and it so true to its theme.
For a movie called "A Quiet Place" where you couldn't make a sound, my theater cranked the volume up to a 1000. Whenever the monsters would appear and scream, our ears were practically bleeding.
Just saw "A Quiet Place" what a movie, A...Less is more and story rules over all. Reminded me of the first Alien & Jaws. Great acting loved it! Good old fashion movie making...
agreed I thought. The story and the direction are so great. This movie will haunt you. It will compel you to remember it. Not so impressed with these critics mocking the whole do not make noise theme. Its brutal and serious.
Who Knew 22 oh my gosh you had me wincing as well. Also when the girl comes down the steps later you think that she might step on it to which again has you moving in your seat
Saw this in the theater and so glad that I did. Spoiler-ish It’s basically the final episode of Alien when they finally make it to Earth. This was the most intense movie experience I’ve had since seeing Whiplash. This was better than Get Out. It’s really more sci fi, even though it’s being sold as horror. Sure there’s plot issues, like how could humanity not have figured a more effective defense to these creatures. But for the world that’s been built, this is as good of a story as you could put to film. 10/10. One of the best of the decade.
Did a double feature tonight with this and Isle of Dogs. My audience sucked for a quiet place. Half a theater full of just teenagers on their phones. I hate seeing horror movies in theaters because of that. I'd like to see the movie again in the morning in a week or two. I had issues with suspending my disbelief at a few things, but otherwise an exceptionally directed and emotional horror movie.
Julio Inoa There was a phone ringing in mine but then after that Teresa were a few munchies trying to be as quiet as possible that's really all there was. But yes noise in a cinema when you're trying to watch a movie is very annoying.
Lol same thing for me, there were teenage girls next to me narrarating the whole movie, not to mention the teens checking their phones with Max brightness...
I completely loved the movie. I agree it's a great film. However, it does remind me a lot of the movie Signs. The girl with the hearing aid reminds me a lot of the scene where they have to swing in signs. Yes there are obvious differences but there are some parallels as well.
i wonder if John Krasinski likes either Home Alone or Jurassic Park. this movie somehow sustains the stress/tension that i personally experienced during the Homerton scene from Annihilation for almost the entire length of its runtime.
Assuming his character survives. Haven't seen the movie yet so I don't know. Unless you mean as a director. It'll be interesting to see what kind of career he'll have as a director.
I wan't to preface this by saying I loved the movie, but I NEVER wanna hear another godamned critic say a single goddamned thing about fucking jump scares as if they're bad ever again. Half this movie is jump scares. EVERY, SINGLE, HIGHLY reviewed horror movie of the last 20 years has jump scares. The Conjuring and it's sequel had jump scares. It had jump scares. Jump scares never have been, and never will be the fucking problem. When it's a well made film no one gives a good god damn how many jump scares it has so why bother bringing it up when the film is awful? It's nonsense.
But they never actually state that though. I've seen it so many times I've lost count, they just mention jump scares as if they are the problem in and of themselves when that is not the case. Jump scares aren't the problem. Either the film is goo enough for them to matter or not. If that is the only distinguishing feature than they aren't the problem.
A lot of reviews say the junpscares are earned in this film. However there are people who complain that there is too mucb junpscares. I actually didn't notice any since the rodents junping off the roof.
It's a solid B-Horror flick with a nice gimmick executed well. The direction on a scene-by-scene basis is strong, and the tension is great throughout. However, the characters are fairly thin and a bit cliché (possibly a byproduct of their inability to talk), and the logic of the movie doesn't hold up to much scrutiny. Also, a few unnecessary jump scares dampen the more legitimate thrills. 7.5/10
The Citizens Who's running the electricity? Why doesn't the Dad ever let the daughter go into the basement? Why doesn't the Dad let the daughter come fishing with him? Do the aliens have no sense of smell? Why the hell would they risk having a baby with a rampant alien invasion going on? How is all that corn being replanted? Those are just a few of the things that made no sense to me while watching it.
MC Wyman I thought why didn't they live closer to the waterfall or at least plan to have the baby near it. Why couldn't they use horns to lure the creatures away, way more practical than fireworks. The weakness in the end was so obvious and they could be killed with one shotgun blast and yet these things managed to wipe out most of the world?
MC Wyman literally none of those are plotholes lmao.. Learn what a plothole is. "Who runs electricity?" Isn't a fucking plot, you bonobo. Also they said they cut out scenes like that as they felt it wasn't adding enough. The floorboards creak and the daughter is deaf, the father doesn't trust her to not make noise in a workshop as she isn't aware if she makes a noise, same reason he doesn't take her fishing, he can't teach her the sound things and subconsciously still blames her daughter and that's why their relationship is strained. Possibly also tiny "sexist" attitude, like wanting the next man in the house be ready for it, so many reasons. The aliens can't see, why would they smell? You're just nitpicking. Risk having a child is such a pointless argument. Say that to teenage moms, say that to people in wartorn countries, tell that to the cavemen, to ancient baby sacrificing societies, tell that to people who are emotionally unstable and compensate it with a kid, tell that to alcoholics having kids, to addicts, and most importantly tell that to nature to stop working like that. Literally no protection has ever in human history been 100% safe (mutilations don't count), condoms are 97% and are considered the best, and you try to find a doctor who can perform a safe abortion in the apocalypse without risking death. How did humans plant corn before machines? Still not a plothole but questioning details in world building, not plot. Plot is story, events that happen. A plot hole is when something could not have happened story wise due to contradictory story elements (see Looper). Still all you did was nitpick, most likely acting smart or being a hipster, the most common way so many people are stupid nowadays for acting like they know better than everyone else (cough religious people about science cough flat earthers etc).
Watch alot of movies for channel and to put it simply there is not alot of movies that grab you and pull you into the life of the character and make you care about them, thats why this movie gets a 9/10
Had some inconsistencies of logic of course but it was good where it really counted in my opinion. Performances were all great, family dynamic was simple but powerful, and of course it was a breath of fresh air to experience such a quiet film in a world or relentlessly loud blockbusters

Stephen Judy two very different films, but I understand where you're coming from. Get Out was a social commentary and a dark satire or race relations. This is just a kick ass creature feature with great tension and storytelling. I'd say it's better that M. Night's Signs.
SUN WARRIOR if I had to honestly compare it to any two movies it would be Signs and Alien. This movie was so damn tense and didn’t let up the whole movie. But Get Out was the last great horror movie of recent memory and I was surprised anything could top it so soon but this movie did it. But good catch with Signs because I didn’t think about that until after the movie
Lol Yes! Turn the phones off!! Also, no talking and no eating of loud, crunchy food during the actual movie. Why don't people understand this concept?!? I have to say, what worries me about this movie (without having seen it) is that the entire premise of the movie seems rather hopeless. Which is to say, I have a difficult time believing that anyone could survive very long - or that the human race could survive at all - if they needed to be completely quiet at all times. To me, and again I haven't seen the movie, it seems like knowing this going into the movie would make it difficult to believe that the characters could somehow make it very long or find a way to live peacefully. Still, horror movies aren't always meant to have happy endings, so I'm open to whatever is in store.
it would seem you wouldn't really have to. Given there are noise homing creatures out there that will get them before you can stop the tantrum, problems like that don't become problems for very long.
That's one of the really scary things to contemplate watching this movie. It would be very hard -- maybe impossible -- to raise any young child in this environment. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art
they said, 'after his directorial debut, i didnt know he had this in him to make this film'..maybe its just luck? just because a person makes one good film doesnt mean theyll make another good film. or just because a person makes a bad film doesnt mean they will only make bad films..how presumptuous........
lol. sorry I feel bad for you, but yeah it's kind of a dead show. I only watch the really highly rated episodes these days because there is so much BS and filler
It's a movie about bad parenting. One decision in particular is a prime example of that. It echos modern socioeconomic conditions of the real world, here it's a post apocalyptic "scary" movie.
More like mistakes in parenting than general bad parenting. Both the mom and the dad have great and admirable qualities that make them both heroic in their own ways and hugely positive role models.
This movie is the SHIT...so far, this year... the whole theater, when i watched it just kept QUIET thru the whole movie...we actually got INTO it and OBEYED the movie's rule...UNTIL the finale...lol... some audience just couldn't help themselves but talkin' to the characters in the flick... lol but, THAT's what this type of movies is all about, ain't it....
The movie looks fucking fantastic and I've heard really good things about it too. I feel like I've become a hermit or agoraphobe in the last month, but I absolutely mean to see this in the next week, week and a half tops. (AtomTickets, you say? :P)
Gangrel Aussie It's worth every penny it's just 90 minutes of pure tension and it's a movie that you should absolutely go see, I even want to go and see it again it's so fucking good.
I honestly do not see at all what the hype is about. I did not buy these characters, the music was so over the top and almost the entire film is just jump scare after jump scare. It's an interesting concept but that's really the only exceptional thing about this film. Am I alone on this?!?
Then you don't know what a good movie is. The characters is brilliant, they all have a purpose in the storyline even the deaf daughter (which is a BIG part of the movie). The jumpscare for me is necessary to save us from the Real scares when we see the monster. So I'm gonna give it a pass on that
The plot is ever progressing, and the intensity of the film never declines. They use the premise in clever ways, which keeps the film from becoming predictable. This part of my comment will get into SPOILERS, When she has the baby, it's really interesting to find out how you would live in a world with a baby, whom has no idea, and could burst out crying at any moment. Or the river and waterfall scenes, where if something around you is louder, then you can make noise. Also, the daughter character (I'm bad with names) how she is deaf in a world where she has to be quiet. It's hard to gage how much noise you are making if you can't hear. All these clever script moments are what builds such an interesting world and makes it better than the average horror/thiller flick. Also, the fact that they are not afraid to kill off characters. Rather than the usual, "We'll kill of the characters who get the least screen time, and leave the main character to survive at the end" I just found myself always being surprised with that the film can do. Whereas with Get Out, i felt the beats in that film were too predictable. The plot basically folding out how i thought it would. And it didn't really kick into gear for me until the last 20 minutes. (Love Jordan Peele though.)
I saw this movie at the same showing with Christy and Matt, and I didn't think it was very good at all. I clearly copies scenes from Alien and Jurassic park without really improving upon them. It also uses a whiteboard and newspaper collage for exposition in way that feels like the filmmaker didn't respect the audience--this rendered the lack of dialog a gimmick since the movie didn't tell its story visually, it showed it on written in thick black ink on a whiteboard. Also the movie has multiple fake out jump scares where the volume is cranked to 11 to in a distorted and ear pain inducing way. 6/10 for me.
The characters didn't develop. If you connected with them, that's cool, but I found them to be flat and boring. It seems to me that the point of the movie was to deliver a tense horror film about a family. I think it succeed a that for the most part, but the whiteboard/newspaper exposition and been there, done that scenes of being hunted prevented me for becoming immersed.
Did I say I wanted more exposition? If you read my comment, you'd see that I complained that the movie used cheap tactics for this, with a whiteboard and newspaper headlines. That is lazy film-making! This is a lazy film, and that is my biggest complaint, that it robs it own sense of mystery by writing "ITS SOUND" on a newspaper headline. I wanted more visual story telling and mystery, not flashbacks... And yes I did find the family boring, except the mother. So what if I am in the minority, its like my opinion, man. Don't be threatened by people who disagree with you.
@Jump Crouch -- I think the characters are meant to be more archetypes than layered, complex individuals. For me, that worked in this type of film. It is easier to put yourself in their shoes and imagine yourself in that scenario. It wasn't about their individual characters, but about the universal instinct for survival and for protecting your children. It's legitimate if that's not your thing, but I felt it was a deliberate choice by the filmmakers, rather than laziness. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art
I saw a lot of movies in February and the damn teaser trailer played every time. I hated it so much because it was so awkward. Not really a horror fan. Might watch when it comes to HBO because I like the actors.
The characters in this movie were remarkably, breathtakingly stupid. It put a damper on the whole film and made it quite difficult for me to care at all what happened to them.
1. They chose to conceive a child AFTER the sound-hunting alien apocalypse, knowing full well that the screaming newborn/infant would certainly be killed and/or get them and their children killed 2. In the 9 months they had to prepare, the only “soundproofing” they came up with to raise their screaming baby was a fucking regular basement covered by a mattress. 3. Knowing his wife was 9 months pregnant and ready to pop at literally any minute, the protagonist decides to go on an absolutely meaningless memory-building sight-seeing riverside daycation with his son. 4. Knowing her dad and brother are gone and her 9 months pregnant, ready-to-pop mother was alone at home and totally defenseless, the daughter decides to make a completely unannounced daycation to a bridge to go cry over her dead brother for like 8 hours. 5. Neither the parents nor the children carry ANY guns on their person at any time to defend themselves from the giant, ferocious, starving man-eating aliens. 6. Even after clearly ripping open a bag on a GIANT NAIL sticking up out of the floorboard, and impaling her foot on it, the wife does nothing at all to clip or bend the nail over with pliers and prevent anyone else from also impaling their foot on said nail.
acrophobe 1. It was never said that they purposefully had a kid, it might have been an accident. 2. The basement wasn't the only thing to stop the baby, they also had an oxygen tank and put it in a box to suppress the noise. 3. The dad didn't know she would have the kid that early, in the movie you can see that they scheduled for when the baby was going to be born, but it came before schedule. Also the trip was to show the son how to hunt fish, it wasn't pointless. 4. The daughter was the most stupid out of all the characters, besides she's a moody teen, and she wasn't gone for 8 hours. 5. Guns attract even more of them so it would be very stupid to shoot one as we saw at the end. The best thing would be a melee weapon, and btw they don't eat people as shown in the movie. 6. You're right about the nail but at the same time a lot was going on so of course she forgot about it
1. Unless you live in Mississippi, you can't possibly not know that blasting your baby batter into your ovulating wife of child-bearing age won't get her pregnant. Any responsible adults in this scenario would take extreme care to abstain from sex to save their lives or to use two or three kinds of protection, and if they did get pregnant, they would exhaust every method to abort the fetus ASAP to save themselves from their certain lingering doom. 2. The oxygen tank would only help after the baby started screaming, and it was already established multiple times that literally any loud sound whatsoever draws the monsters in and is a guaranteed death sentence. That house should have been covered with laughably thick layers of blankets or insulation glued to every inch of the walls, floors and ceiling, or multiple other kinds of makeshift soundproofing. Also, they straight up left the doors open like all the time. 3. Again, unless you live in Mississippi, you know that you can't possibly guarantee a due date with any amount of certainty and premature births are very common. Also, the idiot dad could have easily taught his son all those lessons in sign language or in writing or diagrams. 4. I disagree, I think the dead son was the stupidest, because, holy shit, that stupid fucking kid was just gleefully playing with that fucking rocket and didn't even look up once to see his dad running towards him or the ferocious murderous alien sprinting toward him, he just didn't give a FUCK. I was secretly kind of pleased he died. Don't tell my mom I said that. 5. True, but they had apparently done enough recon to know that only 3 were in the area, and if my life or my family's lives were on the line, I would fucking blast the murderous alien in the face with a .44 magnum and take my chances with the ones that came later....and I would still have my big fuckin' gun and plenty of ammo to face-blast them with. 6. It was even more annoying that after she stepped on the nail, the film went out of its way 2 or 3 more times to linger on the bloody nail, but it never came into play again after that. I was sure the alien at the end would step on it and give her a window to escape or kill it or something, but it never happened. Either lazy filmmaking or a deleted scene. Annoying either way.
acrophobe 1. The apocalypse can get really boring so of course they'll have sex to have fun every once in a while, besides you wouldn't want to get blue balls. And they might have used a condom that broke or he could've tried pulling out but failed. With the abortion you are correct but maybe they didn't have a way to kill it or maybe they're pro life and couldn't bring themselves to do such a thing 2. Once again the oxygen mask wasn't the only thing that made the baby more silent, it was in a box underground which is quiet enough. The door was left open because opening it and closing it constantly would cause to much noise 3. You are right on the premature birth thing but just because she was pregnant doesn't mean they can't stop going out, they have to so the son can learn. It's much more effective to show a first hand experience then a diagram 4. That kid was pretty retarded but you can't really blame him he was like three years old, and I don't mean to be nit picky or anything but "stupidest" isn't a word 5. At the end you clearly see there was far more then three monsters so even if you had a .44 magnum they'd probably just gang up on you and rip you to shreds 6. The nail stayed there on purpose to make the audience feel more tense and scared to see if anyone else would step on it, after the movie ended she probably fixed the nail if she survived. As for the "lazy filmmaking" it's not really lazy it just so happened to be no one else stepped on the nail
sorry guys, usually love your reviews but this movie had a great concept and butchered it. nothing was over done you say? how about jump scares? The ending as well...oft. cringe to extreme. I loved the acting though, all round really talented cast working with an awesome horror concept. but the flaws in logic and cliche jump scares over and over...sorry. Could not enjoy this film.
The premise is fantastic and the movie is great..... but then you see the creatures and they are horrible (CGI IS NOT SCARY) and then I started picking out huge plot holes. I wasn’t invested in the baby stuff because all I could ask was WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE SAFE SEX during this type of apocalypse. Don’t have a kid, that was obvious. A less annoying one was if you have power for your farm that electricity is coming from a generator or plant from somewhere that makes noise. A huge disappointment but still fun time at a Cinema. 6 out of 10. I am thankful it’s basically a silent film. We need more.
trexguy I liked the movie and I think the positives out weighed the negatives. I was totally invested in those characters and was on the edge of my seat for most of the film which made it easy for me to overlook those plot holes.
Patrick C fair enough, the parts I liked I really liked but those plot holes were so big they were a monster themselves and showing the creatures was a mistake. It’s not a bad film and is worth seeing. Krasinski did a great job directing emotion and the acting was excellent.
Really? a 9.3? Wow... you guys are lightweights. Well made, but as others have said, it's typical "horror" flick using premise we've seen a million times.
It was OK, I didn't find it surprising or scary at all. It has good intentions but the world-building is sloppy and it falls in the same traps as thousands of other "scary" movies. 6/10 for me.
The movie stays quiet for a long time, and then this stupid score kicks in and ruins it. And i laughed when i found out she was pregnant. Like why would you be pregnant in this world, and good luck keeping the baby quiet. It was just dumb.
I think his point was, you would find a way to have an abortion in a world like that, because you totally would need to. Babies are not quiet, cannot be made so, and will get the rest of your family killed.
Rsepko - Yeah you seem to have a completely different conversation, apparently with yourself. Or maybe it's that you're so sex fixated you think everything everybody says has to do with sex. Either way shit you're weird.
I’m sorry this movie was dumb af. The family dynamic ruined the movie. The pregnancy was dumb like why would you get pregnant when you know you can’t keep a baby quiet? Why would they even want to bring another child into the world after they already got the youngest one killed? Also the daughter could have easily just saved the dad but she clearly didn’t give a fuck. The last shot of the movie was laughable. The movie was even scary it was more sci-fi than horror. Complete well made garbage 3/10
So your one of those modern day so-called "horror fans" that's just not content or happy with anything and you wouldn't see it when something is quality instead of quantity if it bit you in the but ??. Let me guess: not enough jump scares and not enough talk. Am i right!?. Uuuugh!.
It's not that hard to manipulate human reflexes. So I don't understand how can making you tense or "curl up in a ball" be a good measure of quality of the film? Any average movie can make you curl up in a ball. Hollywood moviegoers are totally brainwashed if they think that movies that manipulate your reflexes are the best ones. Any rollercoaster ride can do that. Any prank can do that.
Huge disappointment. Way too many things that don't make sense. The nail in the stairs, the insanely fast birth, etc...Why in the hell didn't they take every precaution against getting pregnant? How can you be so careless? Wouldn't you think that a weakness would be high frequency sounds? They are super sensitive to the slightest sound. Durp.
This movie is horrendous. Terrible score, generic cinematography, plot holes, horrible script. What is the purpose for the story to advance 400 days, why would she get pregnant in this world, why does the daughter think her dad hates her, there is no scene showing this, all he does is provide for her and the family and makes her hearing aids. The scene on the silo before they fall is idiotic. They start a fire, it dies, they stand there for a minute or two and the daughter is like, lets go he isnt coming for us lol wtf. Also why would the kid run threw the corn field it makes so much noise, you cant out run these things. When theyre in the truck and its rolling why isnt the monster attacking it, it already killed the father and the truck is making a shit ton of noise. How does the monster in the basement not hear the baby whimpering, how does it not hear the wife breathing, why are there so many shitty jump scares, why does the movie copy the exact score of sicario, why is the girl sleeping out in the open when monsters are just roaming around, why do they eat up stairs when they have a sound proof basement, why do you have your kids walk behind you, how can the monster tear through the silo but cant tear through the roof of the car, why isnt she allowed in the basement, how hasnt the government killed this things yet,
Dennis Gachanja no I'm not. If your going to emphasize on how the littlest sound will attract the monsters, I mean so little that they use soft items for peices in monopoly but when the mosnters is literally 10 feet away and shes breathing heavily and it doesnt hear it. Come on
Dennis Gachanja you never heard someone breath heavily. Its decently loud in a quiet room. Hell if someone blind folded me and I stood in the basement I could probably hear her lol
Dennis Gachanja my favorite movie ive seen so far this year is either death of Stalin or loveless. I liked ready player one a lot and that movie is pretty stupid. A quiet place is just extremely inconsistent with its noise. If the monster can hear you drop a can from half a mile away surely it can hear you breathing 10 feet away.
Worst movie ever made absolutely no plot or character development the actors were terrible and the numerous plot holes make it so terrible, theater was packed when I went to see at 450 PM by 45 mins in half of theater had walked out...its clear the maker of film payed for good reviews
Alexia Richardson I must live in an alternate universe where people don’t walk out of theaters. Why do people constantly lie about this? I highly doubt half of the people walked out.
Dallas Cowboys Highlights why would I lie...of those who were left all I heard walking out at the end was how absolutely shit the movie was. The people who think this movie was good remind me of people who think cardboard boxes thrown in a pile is art work
0:20-0:25. Christy LOL! 😆😆😆
When she stepped on the nail I said FUCK very loudly. Lol.
I saw this movie in a small town movie theater where the theater it was playing in was located right next to the bathrooms, so every time the hand dryer went on, it's all you could hear in the theater. Long story short: If you're going to see this movie, go to see it in a decent theater where sound contamination will not be a problem.
Just tested the Atom ticket code and it didn't seem to work. Are there restrictions or rules for what type of ticket you can use it for?
I tried it on A Quiet Place. Didn't work.
I knew what this movie was going for with sound design and the building silence in the film. I saw it tonight, but my theater had people constantly on their phones and there was constant talking, ruining this movie. I just cannot stand the movie theater. People just suck and do not care about ruining such a great movie.
People cannot stay off their phone or just stop talking for 85 minutes!
I find it better to go in the morning for a movie like this.
Why Netflix movies getting popular
True true, but I was so excited to see this movie........but you are correct. But it is a sad state of affairs for movie lovers
This movie stressed me the hell out
agreed I from the moment the first tragedy struck I watched the movie literally wanting it to end as soon as possible without any further tragedy. Terrifying, Sad and Brutal The Quiet Place also has a lot of emotional depth and strong human connect. Very well made movie. Its very emphatic and it so true to its theme.
For a movie called "A Quiet Place" where you couldn't make a sound, my theater cranked the volume up to a 1000. Whenever the monsters would appear and scream, our ears were practically bleeding.
Loved the movie but what a terrible theater experience. Every cell phone vibration and popcorn crunch was extra obnoxious
Nick Molnar my theater was dead silent, which helped rack up the tension factor
Nick Molnar two babies in my theater
Just saw "A Quiet Place" what a movie, A...Less is more and story rules over all. Reminded me of the first Alien & Jaws. Great acting loved it! Good old fashion movie making...
agreed I thought. The story and the direction are so great. This movie will haunt you. It will compel you to remember it. Not so impressed with these critics mocking the whole do not make noise theme. Its brutal and serious.
That nail scene had me wincing
Who Knew 22 oh my gosh you had me wincing as well. Also when the girl comes down the steps later you think that she might step on it to which again has you moving in your seat
I'm a very tough critic and i thought it was fine, its a simple story well told
Saw this in the theater and so glad that I did.
Spoiler-ish
It’s basically the final episode of Alien when they finally make it to Earth. This was the most intense movie experience I’ve had since seeing Whiplash. This was better than Get Out. It’s really more sci fi, even though it’s being sold as horror. Sure there’s plot issues, like how could humanity not have figured a more effective defense to these creatures. But for the world that’s been built, this is as good of a story as you could put to film. 10/10. One of the best of the decade.
This comments section is almost 100% pure acid, Matt what part made you yell?
I can't WAIT!!! Emily Blunt is a master of her craft.
I give the movie 9/10. The concept was pretty cool and the monsters intrigued me. Acting and cinematography was great
Tyler Lawson 9 1/2 here.
Did a double feature tonight with this and Isle of Dogs. My audience sucked for a quiet place. Half a theater full of just teenagers on their phones. I hate seeing horror movies in theaters because of that. I'd like to see the movie again in the morning in a week or two. I had issues with suspending my disbelief at a few things, but otherwise an exceptionally directed and emotional horror movie.
Two babies in my theater
Julio Inoa There was a phone ringing in mine but then after that Teresa were a few munchies trying to be as quiet as possible that's really all there was. But yes noise in a cinema when you're trying to watch a movie is very annoying.
Lol same thing for me, there were teenage girls next to me narrarating the whole movie, not to mention the teens checking their phones with Max brightness...
The cocking of the shotgun, in the end, made me laugh out, otherwise I was on the edge of my seat in total quietude.
I completely loved the movie. I agree it's a great film. However, it does remind me a lot of the movie Signs. The girl with the hearing aid reminds me a lot of the scene where they have to swing in signs. Yes there are obvious differences but there are some parallels as well.
i wonder if John Krasinski likes either Home Alone or Jurassic Park.
this movie somehow sustains the stress/tension that i personally experienced during the Homerton scene from Annihilation for almost the entire length of its runtime.
MKSongbird is Homerton the bear scene?
yes.
JP for sure. And that nail....
This movie is going to be huge. I hope John Krasinski is ready for a sequel.
Assuming his character survives. Haven't seen the movie yet so I don't know. Unless you mean as a director. It'll be interesting to see what kind of career he'll have as a director.
movieman82us doesn't.
WillToNihilsm Thanks for the spoiler asshat
I wan't to preface this by saying I loved the movie, but I NEVER wanna hear another godamned critic say a single goddamned thing about fucking jump scares as if they're bad ever again. Half this movie is jump scares. EVERY, SINGLE, HIGHLY reviewed horror movie of the last 20 years has jump scares. The Conjuring and it's sequel had jump scares. It had jump scares. Jump scares never have been, and never will be the fucking problem. When it's a well made film no one gives a good god damn how many jump scares it has so why bother bringing it up when the film is awful? It's nonsense.
sinosleep007 couldn't agree more
It’s not about the jumps scare.. it’s about whether or not film has over reliance of them for its scares or if they’re even executed properly
But they never actually state that though. I've seen it so many times I've lost count, they just mention jump scares as if they are the problem in and of themselves when that is not the case. Jump scares aren't the problem. Either the film is goo enough for them to matter or not. If that is the only distinguishing feature than they aren't the problem.
sinosleep007 oh I’m not trying to defend them. I’m just stating my point of view lol I agree
A lot of reviews say the junpscares are earned in this film. However there are people who complain that there is too mucb junpscares. I actually didn't notice any since the rodents junping off the roof.
Brett Erlich is a total dead ringer for John Krasinski
Seeing "A Quiet Place" made me want to give "10 Cloverfield Lane" another look.
Don't waste your money on 10 cloverfield lane.cheers
10 Cloverfield Lane was a lot of fun.
Was it as scary and suspenseful as a quiet place?
Not quite. Still good though.
You know what else is great? Alonso's hair today!
RInnggggg 'Whas up? Yeah IM watching this quiet place movie but I got a few , talk to me '
It's a solid B-Horror flick with a nice gimmick executed well. The direction on a scene-by-scene basis is strong, and the tension is great throughout. However, the characters are fairly thin and a bit cliché (possibly a byproduct of their inability to talk), and the logic of the movie doesn't hold up to much scrutiny. Also, a few unnecessary jump scares dampen the more legitimate thrills. 7.5/10
If this is B , than what is A?
Just tried using the WTF5 code and I get this "This promo code is not applicable to your purchase."
Why????
tleeg74 ask Marc Maron
NoJaYorK why?
WTF?
Overall it's a good movie, and it's great at building tension. But there are quite a few contrivances and plotholes that keep it from being amazing.
MC Wyman ....totally agree
And what is the plotholes is? Cause I thought it did explain everything well
The Citizens
Who's running the electricity?
Why doesn't the Dad ever let the daughter go into the basement?
Why doesn't the Dad let the daughter come fishing with him?
Do the aliens have no sense of smell?
Why the hell would they risk having a baby with a rampant alien invasion going on?
How is all that corn being replanted?
Those are just a few of the things that made no sense to me while watching it.
MC Wyman I thought why didn't they live closer to the waterfall or at least plan to have the baby near it.
Why couldn't they use horns to lure the creatures away, way more practical than fireworks.
The weakness in the end was so obvious and they could be killed with one shotgun blast and yet these things managed to wipe out most of the world?
MC Wyman literally none of those are plotholes lmao.. Learn what a plothole is. "Who runs electricity?" Isn't a fucking plot, you bonobo. Also they said they cut out scenes like that as they felt it wasn't adding enough.
The floorboards creak and the daughter is deaf, the father doesn't trust her to not make noise in a workshop as she isn't aware if she makes a noise, same reason he doesn't take her fishing, he can't teach her the sound things and subconsciously still blames her daughter and that's why their relationship is strained. Possibly also tiny "sexist" attitude, like wanting the next man in the house be ready for it, so many reasons.
The aliens can't see, why would they smell? You're just nitpicking.
Risk having a child is such a pointless argument. Say that to teenage moms, say that to people in wartorn countries, tell that to the cavemen, to ancient baby sacrificing societies, tell that to people who are emotionally unstable and compensate it with a kid, tell that to alcoholics having kids, to addicts, and most importantly tell that to nature to stop working like that. Literally no protection has ever in human history been 100% safe (mutilations don't count), condoms are 97% and are considered the best, and you try to find a doctor who can perform a safe abortion in the apocalypse without risking death.
How did humans plant corn before machines? Still not a plothole but questioning details in world building, not plot. Plot is story, events that happen. A plot hole is when something could not have happened story wise due to contradictory story elements (see Looper).
Still all you did was nitpick, most likely acting smart or being a hipster, the most common way so many people are stupid nowadays for acting like they know better than everyone else (cough religious people about science cough flat earthers etc).
Watch alot of movies for channel and to put it simply there is not alot of movies that grab you and pull you into the life of the character and make you care about them, thats why this movie gets a 9/10
Had some inconsistencies of logic of course but it was good where it really counted in my opinion. Performances were all great, family dynamic was simple but powerful, and of course it was a breath of fresh air to experience such a quiet film in a world or relentlessly loud blockbusters

Christy is my celebrity
I shall check out Alonso's review at Linoleum Knife then!
can christy be more amazing? i honestly i'm in awe at her all the time
underwaterlady she kinda basic
Christy is a SUPERMILF!!!!!
Hell yeah
CHRIS BOWMAN she's aging like fine wine
Man Apparently Comedian actors can Be Directors Now Can’t Wait
Juanscum381 Well Jordan Peele came from a comedy background and he made the Best Picture nominated film Get Out only last year.
I’m gonna say it. This is better then Get Out and I LOVE get out. Top 5 movie last year but this is better.
Stephen Judy two very different films, but I understand where you're coming from. Get Out was a social commentary and a dark satire or race relations. This is just a kick ass creature feature with great tension and storytelling. I'd say it's better that M. Night's Signs.
SUN WARRIOR if I had to honestly compare it to any two movies it would be Signs and Alien. This movie was so damn tense and didn’t let up the whole movie. But Get Out was the last great horror movie of recent memory and I was surprised anything could top it so soon but this movie did it. But good catch with Signs because I didn’t think about that until after the movie
Stephen Judy yeah true same here. As far as Alien is concerned I see it was definitely influenced by it. But still a well made horror flick
Lol Yes! Turn the phones off!! Also, no talking and no eating of loud, crunchy food during the actual movie. Why don't people understand this concept?!?
I have to say, what worries me about this movie (without having seen it) is that the entire premise of the movie seems rather hopeless. Which is to say, I have a difficult time believing that anyone could survive very long - or that the human race could survive at all - if they needed to be completely quiet at all times. To me, and again I haven't seen the movie, it seems like knowing this going into the movie would make it difficult to believe that the characters could somehow make it very long or find a way to live peacefully. Still, horror movies aren't always meant to have happy endings, so I'm open to whatever is in store.
Ryan Sandlin there were 2 babies in my theater
Once you see the movie, I think your concerns will be resolved. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art
How would you stop a child tantrum in this scenario?
it would seem you wouldn't really have to. Given there are noise homing creatures out there that will get them before you can stop the tantrum, problems like that don't become problems for very long.
That's one of the really scary things to contemplate watching this movie. It would be very hard -- maybe impossible -- to raise any young child in this environment. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art
Also the name for Donald and Melania Trump's bed room. ZING!
Would the Hotel Room Trump and that Porn Star woman have resembled Dunkirk?
they said, 'after his directorial debut, i didnt know he had this in him to make this film'..maybe its just luck? just because a person makes one good film doesnt mean theyll make another good film. or just because a person makes a bad film doesnt mean they will only make bad films..how presumptuous........
森本ボリス No one makes a good movie through luck. The odds are worse than writing a good book by luck.
This question might be in the wrong video, but why did u stopped reviewing the walking dead????
Josy Shen dead show
lol. sorry I feel bad for you, but yeah it's kind of a dead show. I only watch the really highly rated episodes these days because there is so much BS and filler
Great film watch it in the dark even better Spoiler I do hope they don't do a sequel I am happy the way it finished
It's a movie about bad parenting. One decision in particular is a prime example of that. It echos modern socioeconomic conditions of the real world, here it's a post apocalyptic "scary" movie.
Raymond Terry it’s actually about what parents would do to protect their kids. But I do see how bad parenting comes up
More like mistakes in parenting than general bad parenting. Both the mom and the dad have great and admirable qualities that make them both heroic in their own ways and hugely positive role models.
half this movie is like the transport scene from Sicario, on steroids. this movie was great.
Haha!
I can't wait for the straight-to-video sequel!
This movie is the SHIT...so far, this year... the whole theater, when i watched it just kept QUIET thru the whole movie...we actually got INTO it and OBEYED the movie's rule...UNTIL the finale...lol... some audience just couldn't help themselves but talkin' to the characters in the flick... lol
but, THAT's what this type of movies is all about, ain't it....
what was they saying ? "turn on your bloody ear piece" is all I could think about for the last 30 mins .
I enjoyed the movie, but it has a lot of plot holes and flaws when you think about it later. Just don't analyze it too much.
The movie looks fucking fantastic and I've heard really good things about it too. I feel like I've become a hermit or agoraphobe in the last month, but I absolutely mean to see this in the next week, week and a half tops. (AtomTickets, you say? :P)
Gangrel Aussie It's worth every penny it's just 90 minutes of pure tension and it's a movie that you should absolutely go see, I even want to go and see it again it's so fucking good.
You know what"s worse than a movie critic? Not much. Not much.
ready player one was so good.
ready player one was crappiest crap.
I honestly do not see at all what the hype is about. I did not buy these characters, the music was so over the top and almost the entire film is just jump scare after jump scare. It's an interesting concept but that's really the only exceptional thing about this film. Am I alone on this?!?
Nicolas Bouchard 100% with you
Nicolas Bouchard .....Not alone !
Then you don't know what a good movie is. The characters is brilliant, they all have a purpose in the storyline even the deaf daughter (which is a BIG part of the movie). The jumpscare for me is necessary to save us from the Real scares when we see the monster. So I'm gonna give it a pass on that
Jumpscares are fine when they work like seasoning not the main course and as a tool is crucial in fundamental techniques of suspension and release
The plot is ever progressing, and the intensity of the film never declines. They use the premise in clever ways, which keeps the film from becoming predictable. This part of my comment will get into SPOILERS,
When she has the baby, it's really interesting to find out how you would live in a world with a baby, whom has no idea, and could burst out crying at any moment. Or the river and waterfall scenes, where if something around you is louder, then you can make noise. Also, the daughter character (I'm bad with names) how she is deaf in a world where she has to be quiet. It's hard to gage how much noise you are making if you can't hear. All these clever script moments are what builds such an interesting world and makes it better than the average horror/thiller flick. Also, the fact that they are not afraid to kill off characters. Rather than the usual, "We'll kill of the characters who get the least screen time, and leave the main character to survive at the end"
I just found myself always being surprised with that the film can do. Whereas with Get Out, i felt the beats in that film were too predictable. The plot basically folding out how i thought it would. And it didn't really kick into gear for me until the last 20 minutes. (Love Jordan Peele though.)
I saw this movie at the same showing with Christy and Matt, and I didn't think it was very good at all. I clearly copies scenes from Alien and Jurassic park without really improving upon them. It also uses a whiteboard and newspaper collage for exposition in way that feels like the filmmaker didn't respect the audience--this rendered the lack of dialog a gimmick since the movie didn't tell its story visually, it showed it on written in thick black ink on a whiteboard. Also the movie has multiple fake out jump scares where the volume is cranked to 11 to in a distorted and ear pain inducing way. 6/10 for me.
Jump Crouch I agree, it had a lot of flaws. Not bad but they are getting carried away.
The characters didn't develop. If you connected with them, that's cool, but I found them to be flat and boring. It seems to me that the point of the movie was to deliver a tense horror film about a family. I think it succeed a that for the most part, but the whiteboard/newspaper exposition and been there, done that scenes of being hunted prevented me for becoming immersed.
Did I say I wanted more exposition? If you read my comment, you'd see that I complained that the movie used cheap tactics for this, with a whiteboard and newspaper headlines. That is lazy film-making! This is a lazy film, and that is my biggest complaint, that it robs it own sense of mystery by writing "ITS SOUND" on a newspaper headline. I wanted more visual story telling and mystery, not flashbacks... And yes I did find the family boring, except the mother. So what if I am in the minority, its like my opinion, man. Don't be threatened by people who disagree with you.
@Jump Crouch -- I think the characters are meant to be more archetypes than layered, complex individuals. For me, that worked in this type of film. It is easier to put yourself in their shoes and imagine yourself in that scenario. It wasn't about their individual characters, but about the universal instinct for survival and for protecting your children. It's legitimate if that's not your thing, but I felt it was a deliberate choice by the filmmakers, rather than laziness. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art
Jump Crouch the only thing I’m gonna say is it’s not a film about the monsters, it’s about the family as a whole not one character
I saw a lot of movies in February and the damn teaser trailer played every time. I hated it so much because it was so awkward. Not really a horror fan. Might watch when it comes to HBO because I like the actors.
schmoab It's not really a horror there are a couple of jumpy moments that pop up out of the blue but mostly it's just a tense thriller.
Yeah I agree after seeing it. It’s a sci-fi thriller.
schmoab Pretty much yes it's a nerve-shredding dystopian horror-thriller but it's more of a thriller.
I liked the part where the mother and baby get eatin in the tub.
I hope its a fantastic movies horrors need to be back in trend
The characters in this movie were remarkably, breathtakingly stupid. It put a damper on the whole film and made it quite difficult for me to care at all what happened to them.
acrophobe what are you talking about they were really smart with so many things, and no I'm not being sarcastic
1. They chose to conceive a child AFTER the sound-hunting alien apocalypse, knowing full well that the screaming newborn/infant would certainly be killed and/or get them and their children killed
2. In the 9 months they had to prepare, the only “soundproofing” they came up with to raise their screaming baby was a fucking regular basement covered by a mattress.
3. Knowing his wife was 9 months pregnant and ready to pop at literally any minute, the protagonist decides to go on an absolutely meaningless memory-building sight-seeing riverside daycation with his son.
4. Knowing her dad and brother are gone and her 9 months pregnant, ready-to-pop mother was alone at home and totally defenseless, the daughter decides to make a completely unannounced daycation to a bridge to go cry over her dead brother for like 8 hours.
5. Neither the parents nor the children carry ANY guns on their person at any time to defend themselves from the giant, ferocious, starving man-eating aliens.
6. Even after clearly ripping open a bag on a GIANT NAIL sticking up out of the floorboard, and impaling her foot on it, the wife does nothing at all to clip or bend the nail over with pliers and prevent anyone else from also impaling their foot on said nail.
acrophobe
1. It was never said that they purposefully had a kid, it might have been an accident. 2. The basement wasn't the only thing to stop the baby, they also had an oxygen tank and put it in a box to suppress the noise.
3. The dad didn't know she would have the kid that early, in the movie you can see that they scheduled for when the baby was going to be born, but it came before schedule. Also the trip was to show the son how to hunt fish, it wasn't pointless.
4. The daughter was the most stupid out of all the characters, besides she's a moody teen, and she wasn't gone for 8 hours.
5. Guns attract even more of them so it would be very stupid to shoot one as we saw at the end. The best thing would be a melee weapon, and btw they don't eat people as shown in the movie.
6. You're right about the nail but at the same time a lot was going on so of course she forgot about it
1. Unless you live in Mississippi, you can't possibly not know that blasting your baby batter into your ovulating wife of child-bearing age won't get her pregnant. Any responsible adults in this scenario would take extreme care to abstain from sex to save their lives or to use two or three kinds of protection, and if they did get pregnant, they would exhaust every method to abort the fetus ASAP to save themselves from their certain lingering doom.
2. The oxygen tank would only help after the baby started screaming, and it was already established multiple times that literally any loud sound whatsoever draws the monsters in and is a guaranteed death sentence. That house should have been covered with laughably thick layers of blankets or insulation glued to every inch of the walls, floors and ceiling, or multiple other kinds of makeshift soundproofing. Also, they straight up left the doors open like all the time.
3. Again, unless you live in Mississippi, you know that you can't possibly guarantee a due date with any amount of certainty and premature births are very common. Also, the idiot dad could have easily taught his son all those lessons in sign language or in writing or diagrams.
4. I disagree, I think the dead son was the stupidest, because, holy shit, that stupid fucking kid was just gleefully playing with that fucking rocket and didn't even look up once to see his dad running towards him or the ferocious murderous alien sprinting toward him, he just didn't give a FUCK. I was secretly kind of pleased he died. Don't tell my mom I said that.
5. True, but they had apparently done enough recon to know that only 3 were in the area, and if my life or my family's lives were on the line, I would fucking blast the murderous alien in the face with a .44 magnum and take my chances with the ones that came later....and I would still have my big fuckin' gun and plenty of ammo to face-blast them with.
6. It was even more annoying that after she stepped on the nail, the film went out of its way 2 or 3 more times to linger on the bloody nail, but it never came into play again after that. I was sure the alien at the end would step on it and give her a window to escape or kill it or something, but it never happened. Either lazy filmmaking or a deleted scene. Annoying either way.
acrophobe
1. The apocalypse can get really boring so of course they'll have sex to have fun every once in a while, besides you wouldn't want to get blue balls. And they might have used a condom that broke or he could've tried pulling out but failed. With the abortion you are correct but maybe they didn't have a way to kill it or maybe they're pro life and couldn't bring themselves to do such a thing
2. Once again the oxygen mask wasn't the only thing that made the baby more silent, it was in a box underground which is quiet enough. The door was left open because opening it and closing it constantly would cause to much noise
3. You are right on the premature birth thing but just because she was pregnant doesn't mean they can't stop going out, they have to so the son can learn. It's much more effective to show a first hand experience then a diagram
4. That kid was pretty retarded but you can't really blame him he was like three years old, and I don't mean to be nit picky or anything but "stupidest" isn't a word
5. At the end you clearly see there was far more then three monsters so even if you had a .44 magnum they'd probably just gang up on you and rip you to shreds
6. The nail stayed there on purpose to make the audience feel more tense and scared to see if anyone else would step on it, after the movie ended she probably fixed the nail if she survived. As for the "lazy filmmaking" it's not really lazy it just so happened to be no one else stepped on the nail
sorry guys, usually love your reviews but this movie had a great concept and butchered it.
nothing was over done you say? how about jump scares? The ending as well...oft. cringe to extreme.
I loved the acting though, all round really talented cast working with an awesome horror concept. but the flaws in logic and cliche jump scares over and over...sorry. Could not enjoy this film.
Grant Dickson there were only a couple of jump scares, most of it was just thrilling not really scary
Just saw it tonight, it’s decent, not really that scary. I found it more sad, to be honest.
The premise is fantastic and the movie is great..... but then you see the creatures and they are horrible (CGI IS NOT SCARY) and then I started picking out huge plot holes. I wasn’t invested in the baby stuff because all I could ask was WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE SAFE SEX during this type of apocalypse. Don’t have a kid, that was obvious. A less annoying one was if you have power for your farm that electricity is coming from a generator or plant from somewhere that makes noise. A huge disappointment but still fun time at a Cinema.
6 out of 10. I am thankful it’s basically a silent film. We need more.
trexguy I liked the movie and I think the positives out weighed the negatives. I was totally invested in those characters and was on the edge of my seat for most of the film which made it easy for me to overlook those plot holes.
Patrick C fair enough, the parts I liked I really liked but those plot holes were so big they were a monster themselves and showing the creatures was a mistake. It’s not a bad film and is worth seeing. Krasinski did a great job directing emotion and the acting was excellent.
well....you dont want the human race to die out do you?
Elliot Newton , well outside of this movie, yes we need population control. Only the smart should have children. Over population will destroy us.
trexguy not a single thing you said was a plothole. Google that word and educate yourself before you act smart and throw review scores around
get some sleep, matt
This movie looks okay, but it reminds me too much of Don't Breathe, which I loved.
Brian Argüello it's nothing like that movie, the only thing similar is that you have to be silent
Hmmm. Maybe Don't Breath mixed with It Comes At Night?? Now I'm interested.
Really? a 9.3? Wow... you guys are lightweights. Well made, but as others have said, it's typical "horror" flick using premise we've seen a million times.
It was OK, I didn't find it surprising or scary at all. It has good intentions but the world-building is sloppy and it falls in the same traps as thousands of other "scary" movies.
6/10 for me.
WTF- 3.5 Not enough SJW moments or directed by Ava Duverney
the void is missing you. Go to it.
Did they say that or are you just a frustrated person?
Edit: frustrated person
Longclaw22 - lol it's a joke because they're known to have their SJW moments. Lol go watch their A Wrinkle in Time review to see what I mean
Jr Morales
Buzzfeed is SJW content. WTF is just liberal.
they were a lot more critical with Ava Duvernay than Paul Feig
The movie stays quiet for a long time, and then this stupid score kicks in and ruins it. And i laughed when i found out she was pregnant. Like why would you be pregnant in this world, and good luck keeping the baby quiet. It was just dumb.
Just on the down low bud don't out yourself as someone that's never had sex before.
I think his point was, you would find a way to have an abortion in a world like that, because you totally would need to. Babies are not quiet, cannot be made so, and will get the rest of your family killed.
I don't really care what his point was, it's still laughable.
How does sex work
Rsepko - Yeah you seem to have a completely different conversation, apparently with yourself. Or maybe it's that you're so sex fixated you think everything everybody says has to do with sex.
Either way shit you're weird.
I’m sorry this movie was dumb af. The family dynamic ruined the movie. The pregnancy was dumb like why would you get pregnant when you know you can’t keep a baby quiet? Why would they even want to bring another child into the world after they already got the youngest one killed? Also the daughter could have easily just saved the dad but she clearly didn’t give a fuck. The last shot of the movie was laughable. The movie was even scary it was more sci-fi than horror. Complete well made garbage 3/10
Chris Holmes easy to judge the daughter from the stress-free environment of a movie theater.
So your one of those modern day so-called "horror fans" that's just not content or happy with anything and you wouldn't see it when something is quality instead of quantity if it bit you in the but ??. Let me guess: not enough jump scares and not enough talk. Am i right!?. Uuuugh!.
Chris Holmes In her defense, Regan didn’t know her hearing aid would cripple the aliens. She didn’t figure that out until she was in the basement.
It’s not the movie, it’s you
Go watch ghostbusters (2016) if it's scares you. This film is for adults
too many jump scares and pretty much a cookie-cutter thriller
Rotten tomatoes gave this way too high a rating imo. It was decent though
It was an okay movie. The ending sucked.
4/10
It was crap. I kept expecting M. Night Shyamalan to show up in it.
Great movie, but 9? I just can't overlook the jump scares, plot holes, and horror tropes. It's a 7.5 at best.
That's nice that your opinion differed.
7.5 for a horror movie is a 9 anyway. That's the way I look at imdb scores regarding horror movies anyway.
Alonzo, is aids the reason why you missed the movie?
You're an idiot
It's not that hard to manipulate human reflexes. So I don't understand how can making you tense or "curl up in a ball" be a good measure of quality of the film? Any average movie can make you curl up in a ball. Hollywood moviegoers are totally brainwashed if they think that movies that manipulate your reflexes are the best ones. Any rollercoaster ride can do that. Any prank can do that.
so is this a monster movie ...an alien movie literally the worst advertising its gonna suffer like annihilation did
Barry J I guess you can kinda look at it as both monsters and aliens they could be both so the advertising wasn't that bad in that respect.
Huge disappointment. Way too many things that don't make sense. The nail in the stairs, the insanely fast birth, etc...Why in the hell didn't they take every precaution against getting pregnant? How can you be so careless? Wouldn't you think that a weakness would be high frequency sounds? They are super sensitive to the slightest sound. Durp.
This movie is horrendous. Terrible score, generic cinematography, plot holes, horrible script. What is the purpose for the story to advance 400 days, why would she get pregnant in this world, why does the daughter think her dad hates her, there is no scene showing this, all he does is provide for her and the family and makes her hearing aids. The scene on the silo before they fall is idiotic. They start a fire, it dies, they stand there for a minute or two and the daughter is like, lets go he isnt coming for us lol wtf. Also why would the kid run threw the corn field it makes so much noise, you cant out run these things. When theyre in the truck and its rolling why isnt the monster attacking it, it already killed the father and the truck is making a shit ton of noise. How does the monster in the basement not hear the baby whimpering, how does it not hear the wife breathing, why are there so many shitty jump scares, why does the movie copy the exact score of sicario, why is the girl sleeping out in the open when monsters are just roaming around, why do they eat up stairs when they have a sound proof basement, why do you have your kids walk behind you, how can the monster tear through the silo but cant tear through the roof of the car, why isnt she allowed in the basement, how hasnt the government killed this things yet,
Dennis Gachanja no I'm not. If your going to emphasize on how the littlest sound will attract the monsters, I mean so little that they use soft items for peices in monopoly but when the mosnters is literally 10 feet away and shes breathing heavily and it doesnt hear it. Come on
Dennis Gachanja you never heard someone breath heavily. Its decently loud in a quiet room. Hell if someone blind folded me and I stood in the basement I could probably hear her lol
Dennis Gachanja my favorite movie ive seen so far this year is either death of Stalin or loveless. I liked ready player one a lot and that movie is pretty stupid. A quiet place is just extremely inconsistent with its noise. If the monster can hear you drop a can from half a mile away surely it can hear you breathing 10 feet away.
Dennis Gachanja its not the only reason I hate it. The movie had horrendous jump scares, the score was forgettable, and character choices were idiotic
Woo there buddy, how about a spoiler warning.
Worst movie ever made absolutely no plot or character development the actors were terrible and the numerous plot holes make it so terrible, theater was packed when I went to see at 450 PM by 45 mins in half of theater had walked out...its clear the maker of film payed for good reviews
Alexia Richardson I must live in an alternate universe where people don’t walk out of theaters. Why do people constantly lie about this? I highly doubt half of the people walked out.
Dallas Cowboys Highlights why would I lie...of those who were left all I heard walking out at the end was how absolutely shit the movie was. The people who think this movie was good remind me of people who think cardboard boxes thrown in a pile is art work
Alexia Richardson
Why would you lie? You're anonymous person on the internet, that's why.
Lone Wander doesn't change the facts
