A Quiet Place (2018)

I notice this movie, whilst compiling my annual horror movie viewing list.

The premise, sounds promising, and have to be honest, expectation was NOT high.

I am please to eat my low expectation, and proclaim here, THIS IS A GREAT HORROR MOVIE!

Director/Main Male Lead John Krasinski and Main Female Lead Emily Blunt are actually husband and wife.

I know, I know, they are asking for trouble to appear in the same movie together.

Think Cleopatra (1963)...

Think Eyes Wide Shut (1999) (Ironically, forever associated with Stanley Kubrick's last work...)

Both highly publicize lemon it's day

Can John and Emily avoid this... stigma?

Yes, yes they can!!

John, and I am hypothesizing here, learnt from past masters of suspense (Alfred?) and really, really put the pressure on his audience, keeping them at the edge of their seats. No gimmick, no fancy CGI (well, some, but not overwhelming so), and gave us an honest, thrilling, suspenseful, horror movie.

At some point in the movie, I actually ask myself, why am I taking all this sensory abuse from the movie. Am I some kind of masochist?

I surprise myself with the answer, yes, yes I am!!!

This is a fantastic horror movie.

Good script, good delivery (acting, directing the works)

Surprise that Paramount has made this, and I cannot remember a good horror by paramount, until I google it (Sleepy Hollow is more dark comedy to me, Paranormal Activity, I will give them that etc etc...)

This one is one to remember.

I humbly submit to you, a bloody good horror movie.

Enjoy

My Two Sen.

I am not a fan of horror movie but might give this a try.

haha shocked by the reviews in youtube as well

...them reviews. Gotten me genuinely excited. never thought John Krasinski had it in him as a director. Still missing him from The Office days.

A Quiet Place - 7.3/10
A little better than Cloverfield. Reminds me of TREMORS(1990) where you make a sound the creatures come to you.

Horror movie kaki?!

Have not seen this, but I'll definitely put it in my to-watch list!

You should it is really REALLY good!

Anyway the ending was a little abrupt for me.

A suggestion would be for you to spoiler your observation....

I actually like the ending

I thought it was pretty good. Would have been better if I got to watch it in a quiet hall. There were people coming in and out and since I was sitting at the very back near the door, I can hear people talking outside.
Wouldn't rank this as one of the scariest I've seen but its definitely one of the unique ones. Every once in a while there will be a horror movie that stands out and this is one of them. I thought it was really fresh to see something different. It didn't drag for too long and ended when it should. Some people were not satisfied they didn't get an actual ending like most movies.
Oh and the trailer for Ghostland and The Lodgers were played and it looked horrible! Didn't look scary at all and its like the same old scares and all...

This film is terrifying and filled with suspense, which is further amplified with the lack of dialogue. A must watch if you want to experience horror in a fresh setting.

Haha this one can fight with THE PSYCHO movie classic😄👍

this movie is amazing.

the nail part left me holding my breath trying not to curse out loud.

ending is not particularly special but made sense.

a super solid 8/10

Loved this movie too. Great acting, great cast, good script and directing, made full use of silence and sound editing. Overall 8.5/10. Definitely one of the better movies of the year so far. Worth watching in cinema.

It's not horror per se, thriller monster movie, very nerve wrecking. Also I can't believe Emily Blunt hasn't won an Oscar, the bathtub + nail scenes alone showed her incredible performance. She's really good in conveying these kinds of emotion surge (watch Sicario).

As a whole, John did a great job in directing and acting too. Recommended.

Just a side note about the ending, I too felt it was a bit rushed but I guess, there's not much you can do with movies of this genre. At least it's better than Annihilation.

Enjoyed quite a bit of the movie. There are burst of intense moments and did a great job of immersing you in the world of silence. It did not elevate beyond survival horror playbook and not going any deeper in the father/daughter dynamic. To me a little too telling of a plot device in the daughter portrayal. Just felt too crowd pleasing once it hit the 3rd act.

It goes without saying Emily Blunt brings up the movie a lot and not 100% sold on Krasinski on screen. Think he is better suited behind camera and hope he able to smash the next movie he directed. Finger crossed not a one hit wonder.

Ehh!!! One is cerebral while the other is visceral in terms of how the alien being depicted.

that shit is spot on

wish she came back 4 the sequel though

I want to watch in the cinema,but scared of people inside will kept talking from what i read,this movie need audience for total silence to immerse in it.

Erm... good luck?...

Fuyohh! This movie is the best, the silence itself give that eerie feeling. Its like watching 10 Cloverfield Lane! The plot kills me slowly with tons of unanswered question, haha it left me with a lot of speculation. But the finale feels like watching Mars Attack, Ack Ack!
