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!!! laugh.gif

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.

Anyway the ending was a little abrupt for me.

Michael Bay partly owned Platinum Dunes the production company and believed they have multi picture deals with Paramount. Previously they made half plus six horror reboots that got nowhere. It's his modest budget label that operates similarly like BlumHouse.

Don't Breath is another good movie

Honest, these two movies are actually targeted at different groups.

Don't breath a younger crowd and A Quiet Place people who just became parents' crowd....

Am I making sense?

Oscar for Emily for this movie is a bit too much.

After all it's sci-fi movie.

'The Girl on the Train' is more like it but sadly not even nominated.

Erm.... would actually recommend spoiler-ing most of you observation

I watched it, forgot to comment hahahaha. Seriously the quietest movie I've ever seen in a cinema lol.gif  lol.gif  lol.gif it was even awkward to move! I couldn't drink or shift in my seat with ease lolololl but a good movie nonetheless. Started off mysteriously but soon you get the grasp of things. It's both sad and terrifying in many ways. The film definitely have good jump scare scenes because I jumped in my seat!

Glad you enjoyed!!

A Quiet Place 2 (2021)

This is how sequels should always strive for...

Expanse the movie's universe.

We find out what happens to the Abbots family.

Emily Blunt is always great

John Krasinski I like as a director

Millicent Simmonds flexes her acting skills.

So did Noah Jupe.

Cillian Murphy remains me of Cillian Murphy in 28 days later...

So, in short I love the casting.

The storyline is strong.

Yes, we get more of the Aliens!

Watch this if you like the first and want more.

If you have not watch the first movie, why not?

Go watch that. Enjoy. Then go watch this.
