Very good movie. It's short, pretty intense when it needs to be, and surprisingly quite emotional. I almost cried towards the end myself. The writing is what really carries it. It's smart, very detailed, and fairly unpredictable. The writing and performances are pretty good, and I think that's why I liked it. Good entertainment!
14	Groovy_Souls	85 _82nd
A Quiet Place is the type of film that hinges on good cast and a good director. Krasinski knocks both out of the park. It is tense, interesting, and novel, all while sticking to the strong and uncomfortable genre of horror. Emily Blunt and the child actors also kill it. The plot wavers at points and there are wholes in the concept, but these don't detract from A Quiet Place being one of the strongest films this year.
11	NothingsGood	20 _10th
Nothing happens. The first act is a whiteboard in the Office that says "CREATURES: Blind, Attack Noise, Armor, how many are there? 3 CONFIRMED." The second act is 60 minutes of nothing happening until Emily Blunt pulls a Marv in Home Alone. The third act is the second act but with less sign language and a moment way too obvious to have to foreshadow three times. Scary the way 12 jump scares in 90 minutes is scary. Seriously, this is a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes?
10	eCitizen	60 _59th
The pathetic premise is laughable. A sightless armored creature with incredible hearing that stalks and kills everything that moves. The gaping hole in the plot is how easy they are to attract and that modern military tactics had not easily wiped them out already. If you can somehow get over this insane backdrop, then the acting and suspense is quite good. Many extra points for Emily Blunt, John Krasinski and Millicent Simmonds for excellent acting. Great sound. Weird creatures but good CGI.
10	ADragon91	35 _17th
Having constant scary music and jump-scares in "quiet" scenes actually hurts the premise of this movie. Characters were making dumb choices non-stop that even under my suspension of disbelief was crossing the line. The logic behind what the monsters can and can't hear constantly changes. Overall, a fantastic premise hurt by sticking to clichéd Hollywood Horror movie tropes and a soundtrack that doesn't know when to stay quiet. Maybe it would have actually worked better without a soundtrack.
9	frederic_g54	6 _35th
Kind of fun, kind of stupid. The more you think about it, the more it crumbles under the weight its own unwieldy concept, but it contains enough directorial bite and tension-filled moments to patch over most of its glaring plot holes. And I for one was glad to see the fake baby from American Sniper finally get another juicy role.
8	Luna6ix	66 _24th
I was thoroughly unimpressed with this one. I never really had much taste for horror that relies chiefly on tensity to scare, preferring blood and guts and surprise. There are some irritating logical issues with the story, but what put the final nail in the coffin for me was the abhorrent deus ex machina at the end a la "Signs", only this movie didn't have the courtesy to make it a surprise. I was downright offended.
8	FrederikA	70 _67th
Was expecting A24 styled horror. Got Signs 2.0. Surpringly okay with that. The story had some logical problems (why the HELL would you not set up camp near the waterfall, or any place NOT quiet for that matter?) but all in all I enjoyed it.
8	guy piranha	60 _40th
The premise may sound neat, but it simply doesn't work in an interesting way without making everyone involved act stupid. And gee nilly, batman! They have super sensitive hearing...but what is their WEAKNESS?!
8	cutecake	10 _4th
A mess from beginning to end with acting that wouldn't even make the cut on a children's television program. They slap together a bunch of generic monster traits and quickly disregard any sort of logic that they themselves establish in order to create an atmosphere that is more laughable than anything else. Good horror is about world and character building, which are both obviously absent in this mess of a film.
7	Jerky	60 _72nd
Who the fuck would have a baby AFTER these creatures have taken over, and you can't make a sound without being killed. God damn it Jim Halpert, just pull out!
7	bof	78 _77th
Definitely one to see in theatres (and probably not on a Friday/Saturday night); the hush of the audience is almost part of it. Yes, there are plot holes and the monsters make little sense (it's basically a remake of The Triffids, including the deusexmachinesque ending), but the sheer tension it builds with every little noise and the believable family dynamics really get the job done.
7	Paxton	75 _78th
Spoilers abound: I don't like the use of pregnant women for suspense, and I'm completely removed from a movie when a newborn doesn't act like a newborn. If the movie was called A Loud Place, you'd still hear that baby's cries over the waterfall. I don't know how I feel about the creatures being a combination of the Predator, a praying mantis, and a cantaloupe. The last line of saudade's review is brilliant.
7	Corbad	80 _80th
The shocking opener and slow-burning rising action are the best part of the film and are brilliantly suspenseful, but questionable elements (the silo, the alien design, the culmination of the 'weakness') hinder it from coming to an equally masterful fulfillment. The uninteresting creature design (visually and sonically, the latter an especial disappointment considering) is ultimately the greatest diminishing effect of an otherwise powerful picture.
6	Moribunny	10 _4th
If you'll pardon the pun, it speaks volumes that the first few scenes elicited a quaking "oh no, not this again" from me. Krasinski has obviously seen very few horror films, mostly recent, mostly terrible, and no one broke it to him that he's allowed to be creative. The pseudu-intellectualism of crap like "It Comes at Night" is here, along with the gimmicks from "Hush" and "Don't Breathe" and monsters from the corner of "Alien" and "The Descent". Pretentious, maudlin, full of shitty jump scares.
6	cagedwisdom	100 _90th
John Krasinski, you beast, give me a second serving of this shit. This was one hell of a time. I even cried a little. Demonstrates what's already known: to get fully on board with a far-out premise (and overlook some plot inconsistencies) all you need is thoroughly excellent production. Nail hit directly on head? Killing it?
6	SirStuckey	80 _78th
Like the fool I am I went in thinking this could be my favorite of the year so far. High expectations naturally causes disappointment but the movie is still good. Nice family dynamic and emotional beats. It maybe focuses a bit too much on jump scares and it's hard not to think of ways they could have soundproofed their home even more (or moved into an abandoned radio station or something). Still it's good and worth the watch.
6	saudade	60 _87th
I want to know what decibel they can't reach, and I want them to have a meter for that. I also don't want them to live in a creaky, uninsulated house, away from noises that could muffle theirs. ..The focus isn't on the creatures, but rather, how their existence causes this family to drown in restraint. Underdeveloped monsters and indiscreet foreshadowing make it less effective/memorable as a horror, but the second half made me want more. I liked the ending, when Jim finally bought Pam a coke.
6	JLFM	77 _73rd
Deserves to be seen in a big theater and with a big audience. Every gasp, groan, and “oh no” contributes to the experience, giving the film life beyond the screen. And hats off for keeping the whole thing under 90 minutes.
6	VorpalKitten	100 _98th
Have you ever wished that Signs had been the most tense, edge-of-your-seat apocalyptic horror movie you had ever seen? A Quiet Place is that movie, a version of monsters on earth that is the best horror/thriller I have ever seen. An amazing experience.
6	Jasongirl67	95 _88th
Way better then I expected Tense taught and kept me on the edge of my seat and much to my surprise it never bored me for a single minute An almost perfect movie except for the ending I Hate teaser endings that leave the viewer hanging ......UGH!

[a silent review]
5	Kojiless	78 _82nd
How Michael Bay made (okay, produced) a movie with so few explosions, I will never know. Still, even if someone gave Michael Bay a bag of footstep-muffling sand for every explosion he'd ever orchestrated in all his previous movies combined, it still wouldn't be enough to muffle the footsteps required to plant a field of corn big enough to ensure Orville Redenbacher's legacy lives on, long into the post-apocalyptic future.
5	amerigo	69 _21st
Maybe it was a good movie before the studio execs got their grubby hands on it. Maybe originally it didn't have a soundtrack, but they were like "What? You GOTTA have a soundtrack, I got just the guy to score this. Oh and let's explain what's going on more. Let's have a white board where the main guy writes 'WHATS THEIR WEAKNESS!?' Oh and make the parents selfish millinials who mean well but fuck up absolutely everything. Oh and one last thing: make the main guy look like Pirlo."
5	BillyShears	80 _77th
This must’ve been an absolute nightmare to see in a theatre with people eating, One fat asshole scarfing down popcorn chewing with his mouth open could hold the entire theatre hostage. RIP to all people who snore and fart in their sleep.
5	TheRealJ-Ro	85 _84th
Don't know that I've ever seen a horror quite like this before, if for no other reason than, this movie is perhaps the strangest love letter ever written to one's wife. Think about it. Krasinski wrote, directed, produced, and performed this movie, opposite his wife, and she is FAR AND AWAY the movie's biggest badass; maybe in all of cinema this year. She steps on an exposed nail while in labour, and doesn't crack. Emily Blunt is a superhero, and this is one great damn movie. Krasinski nailed it.
5	forehead1	20 _3rd
Either this was a short overstretched to fill a feature-length run time, or just a series of half-baked ideas lazily cobbled together under one premise. The plot and established laws are followed inconsistently at best, suspense is over-egged in parts and then completely forgotten in others, and there's not a shred of originality anywhere. Husband/wife team Krasinski & Blunt simply don't have the acting chops to get through a 'silent' film without hamming up every scene they're in either. Awful.
5	jthusky	75 _68th
A tight, solid little thriller that uses excellent production and smart dramatic tension. The sound design is to die for. The plot's a little wobbly and occasionally dips into Horror Movie Syndrome, but overall it's a very fun roller coaster of a flick.
5	Dakota99	7 _77th
I get a lot of Signs crossing over with Venom is this film. That's not to say that Krasinski didn't do great work with this, because he did. Thanks to a lot of creative diversions, and use of manipulating sounds, the movie was very entertaining throughout. The characters themselves aren't deemed to cliche/horror archs, and while not really deep, are much smarter than you'd expect. However I found it kinda predictable, and not as unique as the trailers had me thinking. Solid nonetheless.
5	jacobclark12	82 _76th
Boasting some of the most effective sound design in recent years, A Quiet Place proves that silence can be one of the most uneasy things by using it as its primary means of building suspense. Krasinski's acting, directing, and writing are all very good here, as is his chemistry with Blunt and the performances of the rest of the cast. The film doesn't go outside the traditional horror box too often, but its ability to weave a family drama into its plot makes the characters' plight much more
5	luord	98 _99th
Gripping direction, a terrific cast and obviously sparse but effective writing make A Quiet Place one of the best horror movies I've seen and one of the best movies I've watched in a long time. The second half, in particular, is such a non-stop thrill ride it's emotionally exhausting.
5	Adds	80 _84th
Original, unsettling, and emotional. Blunt and Krasinski are a powerhouse couple of talent.
4	TheDenizen	70 _63rd
In a world almost completely depopulated by blind monsters with super sensitive hearing, a family struggles to survive in utter silence. It's an intriguing if utterly ridiculous premise (no one in this family ever sneezes or farts, apparently), but the film's internal logic is consistent and the acting performances are universally solid. The trick that they eventually used to defeat the monsters seemed really obvious though, so it seems pretty unlikely that no one thought of it for so long.
4	INDYATMN	78 _51st
As a rule horror films don't do much for me so perhaps that was what kept me from getting as much out of this as everyone else seems to. Certainly Blunt is fantastic; Krasinski does a decent enough job of directing (although the first killing is way too telegraphed & happens exactly when you think it will); & the script delivers the kind of clever How'd I Miss That solution for the monsters that all great scripts need, but the family's so generic I was bored when they weren't being attacked.
4	letskillrobots	16 _44th
I'm guessing the real estate for the land around the waterfall was too high for the family to move over there..?
4	omgfridge	7 _65th
Has its faults for sure but its a an enjoyable little number. Solid script, keeps you on edge for the most part and builds a world without feeling the need to spoon feed the viewer.
4	Gideon	2 _59th
The current cut just doesn't work. It should 've been either a short or 120-140 min film instead. I like the look and the feel of AQP but in the end it just lacks a good script and a better director. Also (spoiler) there was no sense in killing off the father, the decision he makes doesn't make any sense, felt rushed, including the ending. AQP could 've been much better. Too bad.
4	deaddilly	50 _14th
Unremarkable. There is exactly one horrifying moment (the water) and the rest is a grab bag of jump scares, familiar monster design, and generic familial conflict. Its effective in its tight quarters, but certainly isn't anything to scream about.
4	Syntheseizur	81 _65th
starts change.org petition to rename it "Chekhov's rusty nail"
4	jlewis	82 _46th
Wanted to love it, but I didn't get it or had set my expectations too high. Didn't find the bad guys scary, and usually get terrified at horror movies but didn't get any adrenalin from this one. I couldn't suspend disbelief enough to get into the premise. Definitely shouldn't have watched on a laptop screen, was probably great in the cinema. Next time will watch on a rainy night on a big screen after 3 cups of coffee.
4	damil	60 _43rd
I think it has a great concept, and it's as if the writers knew that, and then kinda stopped trying after that. The film tried to have suspense, but it wasn't very well handled. There were jump scares, sure, but that's just loud music, and anyone can do that. Lots of contrived exposition. I didn't really connect with the characters. I just think a lot more could've been achieved with the solid concept, and by the ending (which was a cop-out), I was mostly just disappointed.
4	donquixotic	55 _40th
I learned sign-language and watched this without subtitles to really commit to the gimmick. Unfortunately American Sign Language and British Sign Language aren't the same so I had no idea what anyone was saying
4	RuruSmasher	91 _79th
I liked this so much. Well, like, it's a complicated word. Got me averting my gaze, crouching, curling up in a fetal position, clutching the hand of my friend. Afraid to make any sound. This was so tense and intense. And not only was the sound expertly deployed, but the family dynamics were, beautiful, touching and detailed. I love what the camera can do without that many lines. And how much meaning you can find in silence and gazes and touch.
3	nutcrackr	60 _16th
Never have kids. Starts well but forgets logic in the back third. So this family, living for over a year in relative silence, don't have a meet up point despite 3 potential threats? When they get separated, the kids don't understand that a flashlight would act as a lighthouse--if only they were somewhere high to use it! Near the end, the threat was over and they made it much worse. Finale is a gimmick. Did love the pivotal scene with Emily though, so it may be worth watching for that.
3	twincinema	75 _64th
John Krasinski's curse is that for as long he acts, I will only ever see him as Jim. The beard hides nothing.
3	Obdurate	95 _97th
This will be hard to beat this year. Expertly made in all ways, from the acting (Blunt and Krasinski are both awesome), the direction, the usage of Villieneuvian drone-y music and silence. It's tense from the very beginning and never relents. But above all else, it's incredibly heartfelt and emotional; a quality that a lot of horrors don't have.
3	sellis	85 _75th
A movie that knows exactly what it wants to be. The restraint Krasinski demonstrates here cannot be understated, in concept, visualization, and performance. By simplifying characterization and concept, the narrative becomes a series of brilliantly realized set pieces. These unfolding pieces, however well-paced and acted, lapse into contrivance at times, but this does not detract from how impressively entertaining and simple this is. Go see this in the cinema or with as best sound quality possibl
3	WWallce4prez	72 _51st
A B-movie concept executed in A-movie style. Emily Blunt is a badass and Krasinski plays the dad-beard dutifully. It could have been stupid, but Krasinki's direction is assured enough to make it an entertaining 90 minutes.
3	fenixdown	72 _43rd
One of the best home invasion movies I've seen.
3	VinegarBob	30 _12th
For this to work the audience needs to care about the characters, but the rules of the game are such that we can't do that. There's no backstory and they can't talk so we're left with watching people we don't know busy themselves with the mechanics of avoiding things we don't understand. The end result is that any enjoyment comes merely from appreciating how the director manages to manipulate these artificial elements in a way that's occasionally able to generate tension. That's not a good film.
3	Kingjohnbbq	90 _65th
(maybe spoilers) This is definitely an anxiety driven movie. The idea of never being able to make noise wherever you go is terrifying. I don't buy into many of the plotholes people have discussed. Panic and fear will make you do a lot of undesirable things. This is not a movie of convenience but of survival against extreme odds. My heart was racing. I also went into the movie trying to like it
3	Velvet Crowe	32 _26th
A neat concept mired by the fact that it can only function when the cast act like the biggest morons imaginable. Why do these characters take so many unnecessary risks? Why do characters just forget that noise is bad? A lot of these events often feel like a contrived means to put the characters in danger. There's also no consistency with how the sound worked - what was with that old guy that randomly came along and screamed? It baffles me that this movie is so highly regarded.
3	AAAutin	54 _57th
(SIGNS LANGUAGE)
3	glumpy_99	92 _85th
Taut and effective horror film is a swift, lean machine, expertly crafted by Krasinski behind the camera, and well-served by his and Blunt's empathetic performances in front of the camera. As always, the unseen menace is more terrifying than when it is exposed, but it is to the film's credit that the monster itself is used sparingly.
3	MontyCircus	40 _37th
It's just "Signs" with less plot and character development and no dialogue.
3	bakcheia	82 _73rd
The production quality and performances really drive this cleverly proposed story and allow it to being fairly scary. Honestly, there are countless questions I had about the logic of this world and plot mechanics, but the impression and effective suspense that is evoked within this film are enough to overwhelm them. It's going to be a memorable piece of contemporary horror, though I'm not sure if the great suspension of disbelief required to fathom the rules of this world will make it a classic
3	mattorama12	74 _74th
First things first: there are some gaping plot holes if you think about this for even a second. But as long you can get past that, this is a really good horror/thriller. Starts with a bang, avoids any tedium, and has a lot of clever devices. I'm stoked that horror has become a really solid genre again
3	Matija D	82 _81st
Atmospheric, intense and powerfull. If you expect slashes and pointless action go watch some generic horror with monsters. This is much more than that and so much more powerful, Krasinski really did fantastic job here. Shame it doesnt last for at least 30 minutes more, Im sure it would be even better then.
3	joel-w-m	6 _44th
Excellent camerawork, soundscapes (the mournful recurring theme is a nice addition), and acting (see brilliant Blunt's brutal birthing escapade), with effective family drama underlying the tense horror (see the shocking pre-title climax). Normally that'd be plenty to distract me from any plot/concept holes, but in this case they're too frequent and glaring (like, you literally just showed me a newspaper clipping saying the monsters are indestructable and now they just killed one with a gun).
3	Yoshinaruto	100 _99th
I loved Don’t Breathe, and even though A Quiet Place isn’t the first Horror Film I’ve seen utilize sound, it’s just as good if not better. The film is very well made, the Silo scene is incredible, and it’s fairly difficult to predict, with almost none of the characters ever feeling “safe” (although I had my guesses on who may or may not die). The only things I could criticize are the sister being slightly annoying at times and the score. I think I’d have preferred no music.
3	Jimmy Suede	65 _35th
Good atmosphere and tension, Krasinski and Blunt did well, and the premise was really intriguing. This film could have been great. Spoilers: But for blind creatures that hunt by sound, they couldn't hear too well, or have any kind of sonar. Footsteps running through the forest? Heavy breathing in the same room? Baby crying behind a mattress? S'okay, you're good. And why is a nail sticking up in the middle of the stairs? And nothing done about it? And the weakness? No one had thought of that?
3	Nyctalope	87 _90th
A film that takes its title literally. Excellent acting, monster design, general attention to detail. Extremely tense film that doesn't rely entirely on jump scares for the horror. A little bit of suspension of disbelief needed at times, but overall a great film.
2	Filligan	87 _67th
Krasinski out of nowhere with the impressive direction. Everything is rolling right with this: direction, performances, music, camerawork, writing, special effects, and the biggest star of the show: sound design. I'll be kinda mad if it doesn't win the Oscar. The bloody film wouldn't be good without it. But overall, this was tense as hell and sold its premise in the first ten minutes. I'm excited for what Krasinski does next.
2	terrymac	78 _79th
I liked the way this was made (Krasinski's talent behind the camera was a very pleasant surprise), so I had some goodwill for it that helped me suspend disbelief; I could pick holes in parts of it, but I didn't want to. Good cast too. Fresh enough and tense enough to come across as genuinely enjoyable if you're in the mood for it.
2	Ytadel	6 _70th
But if the ambient noise makes it safe to hang out by the river and they get their food from the river why don’t they just go live by the river?
2	bizort	62 _42nd
An interesting take on the genre but also mired in some elementary mistakes in storytelling and execution
2	Alex Watkins	3 _38th
I can't really convey, as a CI user, the personal satisfaction I got from watching a horror film featuring a young girl whose primary struggle is the alienation, exclusion, and lack of love she feels from struggling with a cochlear implant.
2	Bojangles	30 _12th
Telegraphs rather than foreshadows. Builds an illogical world that strains credulity. If this movie had any balls it would have no musical score at all instead of drafting in the slipstream of Sicario's OST. It's harmless, artless, jump scare gimmickry. Signs for retards, and Signs was not exactly made for the Intelligentsia.
2	td888	80 _89th
Very well done, extremely clever. Could fit right into the Clover field franchise as well
2	msprague	85 _91st
This was good until the end. I thought it ended oddly and abruptly given how the rest of the story unfolded. Still quite entertaining and well done for Krasinski.
2	Icarus	70 _41st
Fun, even if it gives away the central plot point way too early. I don't mind its obviousness (the writing's literally on the wall!), as the situation is itself pretty compelling. It strikes me as something of a fable about parental fear--we know there are evils in the world trying to harm and even kill our children, but we know little about the shape of these evils. We live our lives defensively trying to survive, rather than developing strategies to overcome them.
2	KasperL	80 _86th
Some movies certainly make more sense than others, but I don't really get people who revel in spotting plot holes. I always try to do the opposite. That is, I either ignore the plot holes or try to come to the movie's rescue by making a case for why a particular flaw might not be glaringly idiotic after all. Bottom-line: I enjoyed the hell out of this original monster movie and have no particular need (and definitely no wish) to try to tear it apart by pointing out its ostensible shortcomings.
2	ChrisPalm	84 _94th
Very good, and so fantastically intense. Not sure if i like the M Shyamalan'ish ending
2	Wiche	81 _82nd
I loved the tension in this film. Because of the constant silence, you feel every second of this film and it becomes as tense as a movie can be. Especially the middle part of the movie grabbed my attention and didn't let go for one second. The only 'flaw' is the solution they find at the end. I think this is so logical, it's almost a plothole. I thought of using sound 20 minutes into the film and it's so simple, so logical, I think everyone did.
2	Vandelay1	70 _75th
good movie
2	Ofterdingen	67 _69th
If you stay very quiet you might not be able to hear the amazing amount of plot holes. Still a solid combination of Signs and The Village.
2	getmoney	65 _21st
Yo this is really generic despite the fun premise. Watch it comes at night instead
2	CosmicMonkey	78 _58th
Horror is pretty much my least favourite genre of film, so I was pleasantly surprised by this. Builds tension through effective build-up and pay-off, and is efficient and lean at a well-paced 90 minutes. The family dynamics are a little empty and simplistic but still effectively made me care about the characters more than most other horror films do and Blunt completely nails it (see what I did there?) in her role. Great to see ASL in a mainstream film, it really needs to be used more.
2	Okkervil	88 _94th
It exceeded my expectations and then some. I was left feeling that much of the criticism it has drawn is a little hypersensitive and focused on elements that the film itself is clearly happy to relent on. The tension, atmosphere, family dynamic, the stuff Krasinski is really pushing are amazingly on-point. Krasinski’s camera work is wonderful, the use of sound and the score are all so satisfying. AQP won me over quickly and never lost my admiration.
2	CarsonWid	64 _41st
Interesting idea, but subpar execution makes this just a missed opportunity. Sound editing/mixing needed to be great but it was simply okay. Inconsistent logic and clunky exposition kept taking me out of the story.
2	kgbelliveau	88 _73rd
Krasinski lined up all the pieces right and began to knock down each piece in a cool new way. Then characters who spent most of the movie trying absolutely everything to be calculated make horrible blunders and it leads to action sequences. It starts off really strong, the first 30 to 35 minutes are absolutely gripping, but after that it trails off into a very predictable horror flick. It was the smaller scenes which gave the intense focus and survival instinct the most impact.
2	mandy	7 _73rd
A few flaws in the logistics of the narrative but a superb premise , very well acted and a few jumps in it too! Brilliant sound (or lack of)
2	ehk2	12 _17th
So, after months of alien invasion of Earth, you were busy getting your wife pregnant, right?
2	burkayadalig	73 _47th
good movie but the end is rushed
2	hellboy76	72 _86th
Silly decisions aside its remarkably well made, and cleverly written and directed.
2	Darren	68 _46th
Starts to unravel at the end and I kinda wish they didn't like focus on the monsters at all. We don't really need to see them. Maybe all movies need to be advertised like this one was because the theatre when I saw this one was dead quiet for the entire movie which is rare as heck.
2	braddad68	100 _97th
I was more excited walking out of this movie than any other in years! It's so well done. Great performances, original concept, scary and intensely emotional. I'm hoping for a nomination for Krasinski and Blunt for acting and Krasinski for writing and directing as well. So impressed!
2	TheDailyNathan	77 _46th
Fantastic performances by the cast, Emily Blunt and the kids especially. There's a lot to explore with the idea of a mostly quiet film, it definitely lets the acting and facial expressions shine in certain scenes. I didn't really buy into the melodrama of the characters though, I found it to be very cliche overall.
2	caramlefloat	85 _69th
Decently scary movie that relies so much on acting more than anything else. Emily Blunt deserves an Oscar for that performance. The weakest part of the plot, for me, was the scary but not so scary monster. Wish they created something less generic/used to add to our imaginations.
2	Hofschneider	59 _12th
How do you have sex without making a peep? I'm not even talking about the moaning but what about the squeaking of the furniture? And why do you wanna have sex in this world and environment the first place? These Christians... always pro-life but never pro-life-quality. Or wait, did they have sex in the water? And why didn't they live close to the river anyway...
2	loc42	35 _16th
For the film, the limitation to 'speak' and make noise is a horrifying fact setting the stage for the antagonism. It thinks that being unable to 'dominate' nature --our whole civilization is nothing but a huge grumble growing as we exploit the nature more and more-- is a frightening thing as it laments the white middle class consumerism. Contra this belief, such a deprivation could be a hope for a more peaceful life. Wouldn't it be beautiful to coexist with nature's sounds w/o repression?
2	thorn969	35 _31st
I went with a friend and we didn't understand why people liked this movie. Most of the plot points were awful, very little happened, and there was no ending. I found it more boring than bad, but...

Thrilling and Original, "A Quiet Place" will surprise viewers like no other horror movie in recent years. It is a family drama at its heart, yet it still give you the fright and thrill of watching a modern horror classic in the making.John Krasinski from the office with the always talented Emily Blunt, who also his real life wife, managed to craft a seemingly experimental horror that conveys a genuinely heartwarming tale of family redemption.

The second movie I've seen make great use of Millicent Simmonds (Wonderstruck). I hope there are more roles out there for her because she is a great young actress. This movie provided a new twist on a plot that has existed for ages. Yeah, sure it borrows from Signs and 10 Cloverfield Lane, but it all fit together well. Excellent soundtrack, but no soundtrack would have also worked with this movie. Ending may have been a bit rushed.

A Quiet Place is the biggest surprise of 2018 and the best horror film in recent memory. John Krasinski excels on both sides of the camera and his direction and writing is impressive throughout. Emily Blunt is superb and she brings such an emotional weight to this film. Whilst child actors Millicent Simmonds & Noah Jupe are both revelations. The lighting and sound design is absolutely stunning and I found the concept so refreshingly simple. This is such an atmospheric and compelling experience.

I expected more. Maybe this isn the first time I liked Emily Blunt's acting. Millicent was better than her by the way. But sadly, I didn't find the movie clever or anything like what people told me. Even more, I think there are so many mistakes. Yet it was "quite" good considering it's a horror movie.
2	KenMeisters	74 _69th
I always wondered how a movie from a deaf persons perspective would be. This movie about a family living in a world where indestructible monsters hunt by immediately killing everything that makes a sound comes pretty close. Turns out, I don't like it. The movie itself is pretty well done and atmospheric. But for a family that seems to be crazy prepared and has rules for everything, they performed like absolute dumbasses in the final sequence.
2	JSchlansky	52 _31st
A lot rested on the foley. When you give everything in the movie the proper thought that the premise demands, there are a lot of things that don't quite make sense or seem a little dumb. Maybe not quite plot holes, somewhere between plot holes and inconsistencies. They straight up stole the Sicario theme, didn't help that the Sicario 2 trailer played right before this to remind you of the score. Exceedingly Bland. Drowning in corn sure must be scary.
2	Temptershell	89 _94th
This film is a phenomenal combination of great acting, a well-drawn plot and a brilliant assembly. Although I have heard many opinions about the idiotic finale, I am convinced that the solution that was used is a deliberate play. I do not know if it is necessary to recommend this item even more, maybe it is not a revolutionary horror, but it certainly shows the original approach to the subject.
2	Ippei	70 _58th
Great concept. Well directed and the atmosphere is perfectly set. Terrific performances all around and you can tell they all share great chemistry to make this work. The silence certainly creates a lot of tension, and it also heightens the emotions as the film progresses. For all this though, I think it is undone by the reveal, which happens early on, and the ending. It isn't terrible, it just doesn't match up to what came before it.
2	skap	60 _26th
Feels like a shitty remake of a decent film. It's a pity one is not allowed anymore to just have fun and shoot a straight horror movie (and the premise here is just crying for it). Everything should be a statement. There are just too many entries on the director's check list and too few skills in his portfolio.
2	SuperSui	81 _81st
What a dramatic and suspenseful movie. The absent of sound is so well used. This is not your typical horror slasher but an unsettling story, wonderful told.
2	MenialRetcon	73 _50th
It would be almost criminal to keep Emily Blunt barefoot and pregnant in any other movie.
2	kanjay101	87 _43rd
Fantastic atmosphere, very tense
2	feublo	68 _25th
An interesting horror that makes silence its most effective trait. I wasn't completely sold on the creature, maybe expected something a bit more terrifying. But it started great, some typical jump scenes - definitely a theater watch for the best experience. The set design was really well done imo.....and that fucking nail.
1	UKSubs	47 _41st
I had high hopes, but the concept of the film requires you to suspend belief far more than I could in order to make this work.
1	robe	80 _84th
shit my socks intensely
1	djross	35 _19th
Just a standard horror, for me. And another entry in the (spoiler coming) dad-dies-but-leaves-behind-something-valuable genre, although in this case the necessity of paternal disappearance didn't seem to lie in some innate guilt or failing: I guess that counts as a variation.
1	Kavu	84 _83rd
Well executed original concept, good acting.
1	iqcumber	64 _32nd
Fun conceit creates some tense moments
1	bojanpopic	89 _85th
Awesome use of standard (and a bit cheap) tricks.
1	TheDiceman	75 _89th
Great.
1	timmo	80 _45th
Krasinski put together an interesting, breezy thriller here. The movie hits viewers over the head with clues at every step, but it never feels boring or uninteresting.
1	easydiff	80 _88th
Unbelievably tense, and pretty much the perfect visual storytelling.
1	cowfrappe	75 _75th
Taut and surprising with some of the best sound design in years.
1	coffee	75 _61st
This is a very Shyamalanist film (if there was such a thing).
1	Anomaly	75 _59th
Watched this while loudly crunching on popcorn. Anyway, A Quiet Place is primarily a mood piece, and a pretty effective one at that, which allows one to mostly ignore the occasional contrivance and plot hole (though the lead up to the ending really pushes it). Kids generally act better when they don't have to talk. What was up with the creature's heads though.
1	Duder	70 _75th
* Although it doesn't shine directorially, it is very well crafted. Thanks to good writing and amazing acting, good directorial decisions leads to an outstanding thrilling experience. It is a really good movie but had Krasinki directed it after a little bit more experience, I feel like it could've been a masterpiece for the decades.
1	muutanet	81 _85th
Well build atmosphere, beautiful characters and a fresh new way to build a scifi horror story. Some minus points for the classic monster outlook and sounds. Entertaining indeed.
1	chadisdanger	63 _13th
A solid horror film with a neat premise and one that's quite well crafted, with good performances, effective atmosphere and strong sound design (perhaps most crucial of all). Yet for some reason I wasn't really hooked. The characters are a little too capable and perfect, the score is distracting in the later stretches (probably shouldn't have been there at all) and the monsters are a little too generic despite the sound gimmick. Not major issues, really, but it just didn't grab me.
1	Ross	75 _78th
A nice little innovative addition to a genre I rarely enjoy. It helps that I find Krasinski insanely likeable.
1	roonay3k	81 _94th
Too short, but a part from that this was a great movie.
1	iconogassed	40 _18th
dammit kids keep ur rocket ships off daddy's exposition table. im tryin to stroke my beard and stare at my glenn beck board
1	whatismyname	70 _77th
Not as formulaic as others in the genre, though it did have a 'Signs' feel to it.
1	panzerwolf	75 _70th
A very intense movie, with a refreshing take on the horror movie / postapocalyptic genre. Wish there were more movies that relied on suspension and mood rather than cheap gore. (But also why would you get pregnant at this time, I will never know!)
1	elmakebabi	70 _64th
I am glad that they are so stupid to make baby. It really helps building tension.
1	eric-jan	70 _54th
Great idea for a movie! Also the monsters are super scary, the pacing is perfect and the ending is cool :)
1	Stewball	60 _28th
This is about as good as I'm ever gonna rate a monster-driven horror movie. Not as stupid as most horror/teen slasher movies, but they obviously thought a quiet place was a good place to drop their cheap-ass 120 db boom bombs.
1	Beer94	74 _83rd
Considering you know none of the characters' names and dialogue is very scarce, the atmosphere this creates is quite staggering.
1	ABUNCHOFCATS	80 _52nd
Very solid horror movie, creature design was top notch.
1	Ernestina	17 _23rd
"A Quiet place" felt inconsistent with a lot of discrepancies. The monsters could hear different levels of volume for the convenience of the plot. Furthermore, why isn't the family living in a full soundproof studio? Was the baby intentional replacement for their lost child or was it an accident to accommodate the thriller? The premise of the movie is nice, the execution - unsatisfactory. Anyhow, Emily Blunt gives a strong performance, unlike her movie (and part real life) family.
1	aaasolanki	78 _57th
Horror and creepy movies are difficult to make nowadays since every possible theme has been done repeatedly. Thus, A Quiet Place comes as a breath of fresh air - Creatures that kill you if they hear you? Changing your entire lifestyle to eliminate any sound? That's original. The film is gripping and the end a little unpredictable and open but satisfying nonetheless.
1	BionicNinjas	90 _83rd
Working off a decade-long horror film deficit, and this was a great place to start. Easily one of the most tense films I've ever seen.
1	bentien	70 _75th
Tight and pretty tense at times. Probs for trying something new, but some of the stuff simply doesn't make any sense. A shame because this could have been a modern horror classic like 'The Descent' had it not been for these mistakes.
1	d_r_e_s_	4 _90th
A pleasant surprise in the monster genre. I was greatly entertained despite it's flaws. It had the same "wauw" experience, just like when I watched Cloverfield. *Very Good
1	PetrosTser	60 _40th
A catchy premise sprinkled with interesting character dynamics, a really good cast (chiefly Blunt), very well-made creatures and taut direction. The prevalence of silence makes the few moments of sound stand out even more and there's several scary, powerful scenes and memorable set-pieces. Even so, key plot facilitators aren't established realistically, genre cliches aren't avoided and overall the film moves arguably a bit too fast to really register with you or offer a satisfactory resolution.
1	ND Geek	80 _34th
I have two large complaints about the film: the score felt out of place, and I wanted to kill the daughter. Ignoring these two elements, I would probably give this a 9 or 10 out of 10. I'm still giving it an 80/100, because despite those two elements, I really enjoyed the suspense and palpable fear throughout the movie.
1	closedmouth	70 _41st
Really good sequences of tension and action marred by cheap "scares" (ugh those raccoons), a morosely self-serious tone and eyebrow overacting (Jupe is really bad), and a ridiculous premise (the concept of the monsters falls apart if you scrutinise it for more than five seconds). Suspension of disbelief is pretty crucial here, for many aspects, but thankfully the action works regardless. Top-notch stuff.
1	lethias	84 _62nd
Well, get some speakers, some dynamite and blow those monster up. Get a tank. Whatever. I don't think humanity is so incapable. Plot holes aside, sound design is interesting, great tension builder. Movie feels short, but should've stayed in the tension zone, not full blown monster zone.
1	thegreyfox	83 _81st
Well, a husband who impregrates his wife when he knows that giving birth, and kids generally, are noisy affairs, and then buggers off for some quiet R&R with his son, is a bit of a douche! This is AQP's achilles heel, because whilst it is extremely tense, superbly acted and directed, and has some incredible set pieces to it, it isn't an "unknown" threat, and logic throws up a whole host of more sensible lifestyles. But that said, the fact that you care for these people is down to superb acting.
1	auhasarderik	4 _12th
Was this a 2-episode pilot? Seriously?
1	hajikarimi	93 _82nd
1660: what a piece! brilliant. scary and smart and full of love.
1	medikolayn	69 _49th
it's hella good time to get pregnant.
1	jbyn	89 _88th
A Quiet Place Felt like M Night Shyamalan's film Signs in the best way. The intensity is cranked up to eleven. The only breaks from the suspense were jumps that made me wonder if it was possible for a movie to cause a heart attack.
1	ericambler	73 _54th
A QUIET PLACE is a scary and effective thriller that could even be considered daring, given the right set of expectations. Its commitment to silence is genuine--any fears that this would be Jump Scare: The Movie are unfounded. It's more clever stunt than visionary film, especially considering its pedestrian family drama and its questionable horror movie logic. But credulity matters little when a film is this good at getting you to play along, just waiting for the other pin to drop.
1	Sadman	80 _62nd
For good and for ill, this feels like a short film stretched to feature length. The opening is a superb film unto itself; efficiently setting up the world and central characters. The thrill from that opening carries the film for a while, however, characters are drawn too broadly and the plot follows well trodden roads costing the film some of its velocity. Fortunately, Krasinski knows to end early and go out on a high note. Wonderful sound design, score and Emily Blunt. More like this please.
1	Seethruskin	4 _52nd
It doesn't have the guts to fully commit to its idea, but there is some genuinely terrifying moments.
1	chmul_cr0n	80 _90th
Relentless suspense. Weird, surprising and effective blend of modern and classic 1920s fillmmaking.
1	myfavchords	82 _83rd
This is a very entertaining horror film. The cast all do a good job and the story is exciting. There are plenty of exciting scenes and moments throughout the film. I highly recommend this film.
1	mjoya	55 _25th
The premise just keeps stretching thinner and thinner. There was more than one scene where I felt compelled to science the **** out of the theatrics. So: it can't see, but it can navigate rooms and buildings with ease. Its acute sense of hearing can't pick up a baby babbling 3 feet away. Its Achilles heel is a high pitched squeal? It's the most unrealistic movie predator ever. Highly evolved to become a horror movie plot device.
1	hotsake	72 _79th
I loved the idea of the movie and though most of the actors did a really good job for the most part with what they were given. On the other hand there were way way way too many jump scares and loud sounds. The characters were really dumb and how they lived wasn't very realistic, why a multi-level wood house? why no sounds proofing or bunker? Even with all the stupid decisions they characters made and the cliches, jump scares, lapses in logic and plot holes this movie was a lot of fun... [Full Review]
1	o_rety	65 _37th
Nice suspense film if only not for preposterous premise, leftist undertones and general lack of logic.
1	SirSass	75 _83rd
All I see is bearded Jim.
1	magdabag	90 _79th
A theater full of patrons afraid to chew their popcorn? Perfect. 10/10 from me.
1	flipzo	85 _66th
The ending is such a badass. Great movie, great music score. Well played, well directed. Bravo.
1	nothings	59 _44th
goes from unsettling psychological thriller (if in a very "directorial debut" fashion) to netflix b-horror. I'll take it cause it's always important to document the dangers of grain towers.
1	thereeldeal	65 _37th
I'd imagine the success of A Quiet Place for the viewer would depend on if they can accept it as a series of varying quality scenes looking at an interesting premise in different perspectives with uneven results. If questioning the logic of one event has the rest of the film crumble like a house of cards, this will probably annoy you. On the other hand, each individual set piece is established so well in isolation that the flaws can easily be overwritten with the film's successes.
1	amazedemon	67 _75th
A Quiet Place is an enjoyable film that was overhyped. Krasinski's inexperience with the genre shows by his use of clichéd jump-scares and character logic. Fortunately, it also works in his favour by spending more of the film in daylight, and with a heavier lean on drama supported by his onscreen chemistry with Blunt. The lack of dialogue emphasises the acting abilities of the entire cast, though doesn't stop the kids from being irritating. The ending resolution is a tad generic, but forgivable
1	philamental	75 _70th
Such a simple premise and for most part expertly executed resulting in an entertainingly tense viewing experience. Sadly as has been well pointed, out the plot holes are frequently huge and very difficult to ignore when the silence of the film gives plenty of opportunity for the viewer to ponder such things. I also wasn't a fan of the climax here, but it's difficult to be too harsh on a movie that tried and succeeded in giving us something different
1	leonardousta	69 _37th
Too much cliché. Other than the interesting idea of aliens being blind and having a super hearing ability, the rest is total cliché. What a pity. How come all humankind cannot find out they are vulnerable to high frequency? Why don't they deliver the child under a waterfall? Why don't they live around the waterfall? Why don't people put noisy things all around the world? Lots of questions...
1	Haden93	91 _90th
This movie plays with it's own plot masterfully and the family Dynamic really makes this feel whole and real. This is a true horror that doesn't rely on blood, cheap jump scares, or extreme violence, which only makes it better.
1	EvilMangoes	95 _85th
A-
1	prepwrestler	76 _76th
A solid movie. A revival of Horror. John Krasinski makes his highschool script a multi-million reality.
1	anilscn	40 _29th
Bunun metascore puanını 82 yapan herkese tek tek kafam girsin. Fısıltıda direk öldüren canavarın olduğu dünyaya bebek getirmek, elektrikler varken telefonların vs çalışmaması, küçücük kızın yaşından büyük tribi ve en önemlisi insan üstü çabasıyla 500 gün öksürmeyen, hapşırmayan karakterlerimiz..
1	CStewart64	16 _89th
W4E2P2S1V1M2A2R2. Parts of it are contrived, but nowhere near enough to overshadow the fascinating premise and excellent acting. No Get Out, but maybe the most emotionally poignant horror film I've seen.
1	kcknz	26 _5th
why do they hang something on the walls while there is a risk of falling and making noise? walking is dangerous while other daily routines are nearly the same. it was the most serious problem for the logic of film. also this alien stereotype is extremely cliche like we've seen it hundred times on the screen. i was expecting more creative things rather than a silly post-apocalyptic world. just because you've a good idea like sound-sensitive aliens (?) doesn't mean you will have a decent movie.
1	Arberwaticus	89 _50th
A tense film where every action matters. There were some less believable parts like no complications in giving birth herself but the performances carry it through.
1	sourheart	3 _36th
FIrst half is very scary, second one is thrilling enough. Krasinski's death is pretty stirring,
1	themacsays	95 _95th
C - Amazing. A very simple concept, monsters hunt by sound, so keep quiet. I'm very much in favour of keeping films short, and there's no fat on this. The monsters are kept off screen as much as possible. Also good they don't waste time or get bogged down in explaining things.
1	beardobaldo	70 _39th
Good for what it was, but requires a LOT of suspension of disbelief. The more you think of it, the more you think "Why didn't they just ____?"
1	baseballs	70 _45th
This has plenty of problems but none of them really stop it from achieving its main goal of being tense as shit.
1	dparncutt	9 _67th
Really well made, original story. Creative, well-acted, incredible use of sound and a remarkably rich story with little dialoge. What's not to like?
1	sylowi	87 _79th
Very cool take on sci-fi/horror. Almost no dialogue. Convincing ASL.
1	kitty	100 _70th
If Jim from the office directed this it can not be bad
1	abalama	90 _65th
Really fun new horror, from who? Never watched the Office, so I’m not predisposed in any way about Krasinski. He did a great job, and got really solid performances out of the cast. Yes, like all horror films, one must ignore reality, but this was a good watch.
