A Quiet Place (2018)
6/10
*Fingers on lips*
10 June 2021
I only recently took an interest in this movie after seeing a lot of advertising for A Quiet Place Part II. I looked online at the reviews for this movie and they were mostly positive with high ratings.

A Quiet Place (2018) follows a small family as they try to survive in a world overrun by vicious creatures that hunt and kill anything living. The creatures are blind so they hunt via sound and touch. The family try to create a sound free environment using creative and innovative ideas that help create a quiet environment for them to survive in. However with a new baby on the way the family do their best to prepare a completely sound proof environment for when the baby arrives but the baby comes sooner than expected causing all hell to break loose as the creatures draw near.

The idea for this movie's story is definitely a unique and interesting one which in the hands of a talented writer could have become something a lot more original and genre defining. Sadly for every one thing this movie does right it does ten other things completely wrong.

I sadly lost interest in the movie around the half way point when it became incredibly obvious what was going happen in the movies climax. Anyone with a braincell could figure out this movie's ending after only thirty minutes into the film due to the movie's incredibly obvious foreshadowing.

The films clever use of sound or in this movie's case lack of sound gives the audience a somewhat unique and memorable cinematic experience, one that feels like a mix between silent tranquility and suspense.

Even though I personally didn't enjoy this movies poorly written storyline and obvious foreshadowing which unfortunately spoiled this movie for me a bit. I still recommend A Quiet Place for it's beautiful cinematography and it's unique audible experience.
