A Quiet Place (2018)


IMDb plot summary: A family is forced to live in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound.
Directed by John Krasinski. Starring Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe.

This was really pretty incredible. So perfectly put together from beginning to end. It builds the tension well and develops the characters impressively with so little dialogue. I also loved how it was a great mix of horror movie and post-apocalyptic movie and family drama. There are layers to this!

4.5 stars.

How it entered my Flickchart:
A Quiet Place > Dead Man Walking
A Quiet Place > Quartet
A Quiet Place > Glengarry Glen Ross
A Quiet Place > Some Like It Hot
A Quiet Place < Back to the Future Part II
A Quiet Place < Rope
A Quiet Place > Strangers on a Train
A Quiet Place < 127 Hours
A Quiet Place < Sleuth
A Quiet Place < Dial M for Murder
A Quiet Place > Speed
Final spot: #148 out of 2759. That is... higher than I expected. But I think it deserves it.
