A Quiet Place (Horror Film Written,Directed By And Starring John Krasinski)

Just saw it now, was ok but nothing sensationnal. I feel they could've done a much better job at creating a tense atmosphere, once you see the monsters (very early in the movie) well it somehow lessens that stress, imo. It comes at night worked better in that regard. Some incoherences too I feel, and still don't understand where that water was coming from when they're in the basement with the baby, nor how/why the monster goes there, nor why the baby's box is open, etc...

Luckily there wasn't much hype over here (France) so I went to see without much expectations

Just came in here to say I'm not pulling out of Emily Blunt neither

The movie's biggest (and frankly only) flaw is that the plot is largely built on the ludicrous idea that a family would ever bring a baby into this world. It's almost impossible to suspend your disbelief about that plot point, but outside of how conveniently silent the baby is, you really can't argue against the movie's execution.

I also agree with the baby complaint. Babies are generally loud and require constant attention. I think John added that element to the plot for extra suspense and tension.

First thing I thought when I saw her pregnant was why the hell would they bring a baby into the world knowing you can't keep a baby quiet on command.

And I won't even speak on the whole idea of having another baby which was already mentioned in here.

Ol'girl had a baby in like 3 minutes. Wtf?

Already stressed out situation, but they decide to bring another kid into the world.

It's meant to be allegorical - we live in a world where despite knowing the perils, [ever-diminishing] conditions and resources, we continue to reproduce. The problem here is, beyond any cosmetic, passé lining, we aren't given any takeaway of this, because everything that's seemingly essential to the film comes across as a broken law (sound, in particular), rather than telling an actual story (well, one that's worth paying attention to).

Doubtful, it’s already a horror classic

Nothing about this film is a classic. Absolutely nothing. Merely a poor exercise on basically every front.

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

goddamn yall over analyze everything

8/10 times I'm not analyzing shyt when I watch, but this flick had me

At the end of the day I realized I wasted my time on this. I take back what I said about it being an ok flick.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I came in with no expectations and no idea what it was about...I enjoyed it

yea i get that.. but I think the overriding them of the movie was the effect of sound. It brought a different dimension to movies, so the story would be secondary. So i get how they brought certain elements and patched them up. Them having the special baby room could answer the first question on how the hell they planned to have a baby, but if you keep asking questions, it falls apart somewhat. Still, i'd rather it be that way, then for the movie to be made with a sole focus on making it more realistic and reasonable. I still think the concept was great.

Best thing about the movie, is that it was only 90 mins.

There's too many moments.

The fact that the weakness was high pitched frequency, yet the GOVT couldn't figure it out, makes the time watching this movie wasted, and downright insulting. Yes, we're supposed to suspend our belief when watching movies, but there's a line between disbelief and preposterous shyt.

All that hype for nothing. Just like most movies.

 

[SanchoPanda]

This movie is tremors on a higher budget and better actors.
