A Quiet Place

There's no little green men saying, "take me to your leader". These aliens are super predators that hunt by sound. The silence builds amazing tension. Every time someone steps on a twig or drops something, you can't help but wonder if they've made their last mistake in this vision of the world where humans are just another prey animal. A fantastic watch from start to finish.

All I'll say is that this is yet another modern horror masterpiece. There have been so many great stabs at new genre-bending horror in the last few years, and this is just another one. I love the use of sound in this film. It's very typical for horror movies to rely on sound for scares, but this film does it in a unique & inventive way that makes jump scares more "realistic". I hate horror movies that use sharp sounds and elevated volumes or pitches to get you into a state of alarm. That's not true horror, that's just manipulating the natural reactions of a human being. This film makes sound a part of the psychological experience, and thus makes this horror experience fresh. I am astounded that John Krasinski is the one behind this. I have never watched The Office, but this is definitely not where I saw him going after a lot of the more military movies he's been in (and some rom-coms I think). I'm so excited to see the sequel to see what others stories there are to tell in this universe. There's still so much to learn and there was so much to care about with this family. Just overall this is a quality experience, especially in the horror genre. It's PG-13 and doesn't rely on gore, which is awesome. As a horror fan, sometimes it's not all about the blood & guts and more about the psychological experience. While this film will not scar me in any way (like Hereditary), it had me reconsidering the way sound works and would affect us as humans in a crisis like the one faced by the family in this movie. Job well done... really missing a director's commentary but I'll always forgive an excellent film for that missing feature. Highly recommended 4K experience, and I will emphasize that it's so great in a dark & quiet room. Just an awesome film...

This is a twist on movies that have themes of the unseen monsters, alien invasions, etc. The twist is that the monsters in this movie are blind but have super hearing and kill anything that makes noise. The movie stars John Krasinski (who wrote the screenplay and directed the movie), his real-life wife Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds, playing members of a family in what is essentially a post-apocalyptic world in which many humans and animals have been killed, in which those who have survived have to be perfectly quiet, communicate via sign language, and can only talk if they are near something that is making more noise than them. It is a very different movie, especially as a horror movie where there is very little sound. Of course, sound is key to the thrills in most horror movies, and in this one, it is the absence of sound, even background sounds, and the soundtrack are very understated. The movie pulls off what is even hard for most TV shows cannot pull off, having little to no dialog between the actors, and yet still managing to tell a compelling story. For those who get the 4k UHD Blu-Ray, the movie looks great in the format. What the film lacks in sound it makes up for in visuals and special effects. The UHD disc has just the movie, and then there are about 35 minutes (give or take) of behind the scenes and making-of featurettes on the regular Blu-Ray. Overall, the movie is well written, very well acted, and tells a unique story on an old theme of a creature-based horror movie. It is definitely worth checking out.

4.5 stars Insanely good! With all the hype, I was sure it wouldn't live up to it, and I was really happy to find out that it did, in spades. Wanted to see it in the theater, but on Blu-ray it was just as suspenseful, and chilling, and nerve-wracking, as I'm sure it would have been in a movie theater. Of course I sent the kids to bed, turned off all the lights, and gave myself over to the experience. Experience it you must, if you haven't yet seen it, and avoid as many trailers and spoilers as you can. It does follow a standard horror film plot, and hits those points it needs to hit to ratchet up the stakes and the tension, but it does its own, emotion-based thing, as well, with lots of success. A terrific flick! A last thought - as much as I liked it, having just seen it and processing it for a bit, I suddenly flashed on Shyamalan's "Signs" with Mel Gibson and thought, "Huh, I haven't seen that one since it came out, but this movie kinda reminds me of it." Guess I'll have to watch that 2002 movie ("Swing away!") again to see how close they are.

Well it's a really cool movie!

Excelente película para disfrutar con la calidad de imagen y audio que ofrece el 4k, se presta para esto por la temática de la película, llegó excelente y muy rapido

Good movie. I kind of felt sorry for the 'father' charactor...he had a non-stop string of bad luck after another. I can't imagine living in a such a dystopic world where, after an asteroid strike, aliens began hunting everywhere and any sound you make, can bring your doom. Hopeful ending, his deaf daughter finds the cure...'out of the mouth of babes'..or rather her ears, a way is found to combat these monsters. If you like horror movies, this should be in your movie collection!
