In its simplicity and punch, this is a film that feels as if it could have been made decades ago, in the classic age of Planet of the Apes or The Omega Man.
A terrifying thriller with a surprisingly warm heart, John Krasinski's A Quiet Place is a monster-movie allegory for parenting in a world gone very, very wrong.

When A Quiet Place first hit theaters in 2018, the astonishing story was easy to follow and easily entertaining. Most viewers would like to think of it as another generic thriller movie. I like to think about it as a heartfelt one-of-a-kind movie, one that needed a lot of thought and effort. "Not often something truly amazing happens, only when you truly believe that it is amazing."

A Quiet Place: Part 1, to this day, is still one of the freshest apocalyptic horrors (and just horror in general) I've seen. Thoughtfully paced and wonderfully plotted, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski head the Abbott family as they live their lives in a world where one single peep of noise will kill them. Selling this premise and its mysterious deadly creatures is an opening that holds nothing back, family dynamics that shine thanks to spectacular casting, and smart sound design that masterfully plays with silence. It's this latter part that truly hits the viewer hard, with dialogue all but non-existent, causing the viewer an unbelievable amount of tension and panic whenever a single, simple noise is heard.
It's a film on another level, no doubt about it.
Report
The film’s narrow scope allows the room for each member of the family to complete natural and compelling arcs, but the cast’s ability to anchor the emotional stakes is a feat in its own right, and an area where most other films in this arena go off the rails.

FULL REVIEW
That is why, of the two tales, A Quiet Place is not just more enjoyable but, alien invaders notwithstanding, more coherently plausible, revelling in the logic of well-grounded terror.
John Krasinski orchestrates a loud and ferocious symphony of sonic scares that will assert A Quiet Place as one of the year's most terrorizing films.
A Quiet Place may not have the weighty social meaning or piercing comedy of another recent high-profile horror thriller, “Get Out.” But like that movie it is smart, it moves fast, it has a hugely satisfying ending — and it deserves to attract a much broader audience than the usual horror film devotees.
Krasinski makes suspension of disbelief easy, and the movie mostly works — I can’t remember the last time I was in a movie theater so quiet.

Yeah, yeah, this movie has almost no dialogue. Wow. Amazing. (Not that there are films like DON'T BREATH, MOEBIUS, and a whole bunch of silent films that did the same schtick). The problem with having no dialogue is, however, that the audience can't be thrilled/entertained/distracted by some well written lines. So I discovered A LOT of plot holes/plain stupid stuff. And I had the time and silence to think about all the things that didn't make any sense whatsoever. There are many jump scares and they ****. I did like the cast, and the direction. Some nice cinematography, interesting monster design, and a couple of suspenseful scenes do make this film entertaining. It feels longer than it actually is tho. I'm torn: A QUIET PLACE is immensely stupid and falls apart if you think more than one second about it. But it is entertaining enough, not too long, and does everything in its hands to make you forget about its plot holes. I don't get why this film got such positive reviews, while BIRD BOX received more mixed ones.
