A Quiet Place Film Review


Finished watching A Quiet Place, starring director John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Cade Woodward, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds. The film opens with the Abbott family living in a post apocalyptic world where they are gathering supplies from an abandoned shop where the youngest child of Lee (John Krasinski) and Evelyn (Emily Blunt), Beau (Cade Woodward) finds a noisy toy which Lee takes away from him. However on the way back home Beau begins to plays with the toy and before Lee can get to his son a monster jumps out of the forest and captures Beau. The film then jumps forward in time as Evelyn is now pregnant with another child and along with their son Marcus (Noah Jupe) and daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), as the family have been living on their farm while Lee has been trying to contact anyone left around the world for help while the monsters are still a prominent threat. Overall this was an amazing film as does a great job in bringing the emotion of the characters through the mostly silent moments of the film thanks to the way the cast are able to interact with one another through sign language and the way they emote as well. The uses of the silence of the film amazingly well to help bring a level of suspense that causes any noise to be frightening with how the monsters within the film react to any type of noise especially what is made by the characters such from speech to screaming. 9/10.
