i don't really care about blood. it's more for the language and realism of a R rating. Get Out is amazing and was rated R and had little blood.
There's only like 40 audible words in the movie lol...no need for R rated language

The new horror movie A Quiet Place is a hit at the box office and with critics. It's also notable for its lack of sound, which poses a problem for lovers of movie-theater popcorn.

On a Monday morning at 11:30, the theater was empty, which isn't too surprising since it's not a prime viewing time for horror movies. That meant it was not exactly possible to investigate the claim that it's really hard to eat popcorn during this movie without annoying one's fellow moviegoers. But it did allow for a fact-check on how quiet the movie really was, and whether the snacking conundrum was overblown.

The movie follows a family that seems to be the only surviving humans in a post-apocalyptic world. Creatures with amazing hearing — possibly aliens — have taken over. If you make noise, you could be killed in an instant. The family uses sign language and goes barefoot everywhere.

The most horrific part of A Quiet Place is when you realize the movie is silent and you’re about to hear every crunch of popcorn, slurp of Diet Coke, and stifled burp in the entire theater for the next hour and a half.



Several minutes into the movie, it's been completely quiet. No footsteps, no foley-produced sound effects. There's the tiniest bit of scoring, but even that is pretty quiet. You can even hear the ventilation in the theater.

'A Quiet Place' Will Leave You Shhhhhhaken

Meanwhile, I had just taken a big mouthful of popcorn. I was stuck.

Years — or maybe just minutes later — it became clear that this time, the creature wasn't coming. I could finish chewing. And I wasn't even worried about bothering people. Maybe I thought if I chewed too loudly the creature would come for me?

Yes, this is a very quiet movie. Yes, if you had fellow moviegoers, you really, really would have trouble eating popcorn without infuriating them.

But honestly, I found that the movie itself was so scary that the snacking thing was kind of moot: Most viewers will be too busy holding their breaths and grabbing their seat cushions to remember to eat anyway.

Suspenseful...it did a really good job with the stay quiet theme...but EVERYTHING other than that was sci fi movie bad...

She just "had" that baby like that huh?:dahellwhat:

Sound proof the basement...no attempt to sound proof the house though?:yeahok:

Hard to believe NOBODY could discover the monsters weakness?:dahellwhat:

Woman sets an alarm clock...distracts monster and escapes...dude yells and sacrifices himself though...:yeahok:

There was a scene that insinuated their were other people around...but except for one scene their were no people around:yeahok:

People will like this more than It Comes At Night...but It Comes At Night is a FAR superior movie...

Both this and It Comes at night were pretty forgettable to me, though I prefer the tone of the latter.

I keep forgetting I saw this shyt Friday until I see the thread bumped.

Some people are so desperate to appear smarter than the films they're watching they forget not every film is supposed to have every single detail scrutinized like its supposed to be pure fact. It's a horror film. Turn your brain off.

It's a film,meant for entertainment. Imagine watching a comic book film and sitting there like :beli: the whole film because the science doesn't make sense.

To each their own though, I can't wait to watch this again. :whoo:
