    A fantastic, and suspenseful ride!

    A Quiet Place should be prefaced by a disclaimer that, while purposeful, requires a quiet audience. I have a hearing problem, and was really intrigued by a film that openly communicates its use, advocact, and support of ASL and the deaf community. That said, the sound design was top notch, and only added to the overall tension of the setting amidst creatures who hunt solely by transmitted sound. It should come as no surprise that the chemistry between Emily Blunt & John Krasinski is tender, and real given their IRL pairing, but they each rise to bring more than just standard fair suspense/thriller dynamics to the forefront. Millicent Simmonds is an absolute pleasure and her angsty & emotionally tortured portrayal of Regan Abott often anchors the story into the realm of psychological drama. As I watched, it was clear how much emotion and purpose was behind each sign she delivered. Frustration, anger, sorrow, and fear...each were hard to ignore as Millie delivered her first fantastic starring role. A Quiet Place earned its spot among my top horror/suspense/thriller movies, and I highly recommend all to check it out.

    Pros: It’s a new sub genre in the same lines as Stranger Things. Dolby Vision OLED 4k upscale. Dolby Atmos on my 11.2 (7.2.4) with some cool height channel scenes. Slipcover option. Cons: Lacking storyline.

    This is an excellent movie. You would think a movie about keeping quiet would have lack luster sound. Think again the Atmos sound mix in this movie is the best I've ever heard. This is definitely refernce material.

    Pros: Does not measure up to the hype but it is great to watch as much as it was to watch Stranger Things, it’s on that similar vibe. Dolby Vision that looks impressive on my calibrated OLED Dolby Atmos shined. Digital Copy. Slipcover. Cons: Overrated reputation.

    A captivating, edge-of-your-seat thriller! As a person who doesn't usually dig horror, this one is great. In the absence of sound, you simply can't look away. It skips gore entirely, and instead focuses on tremendous characters in an inventive apocalyptic scenario. Can't recommend this enough!

    A new race of creature has landed on the Earth. They are blind but hunt with an extreme sense of hearing. Everyone in the film has to remain extremely quiet and use sign language to communicate - Hence the name A Quiet Place. This film is unique in several ways. It was directed by actor John Krasinski whose wife Emily Blunt also plays his wife in the film. Her performance is outstanding. So is John Krasinski's. The two other characters are their children - one of whom is actually hearing impaired. There are some truly frightening and suspenseful moments as well as some touching moments. All-in-all a must see film

    Came into this with somewhat low expectations even though I had heard good things about the movie. Didn't know how much I'd enjoy it knowing that the characters are going to be silent throughout most of the film but it's so well done and the story is cleverly told through the actions and acting of the characters that you dont even notice it. I was glued to the screen and quickly grew to the characters and their situation that I was worried for each and every one of them whenever something was going on. I felt it was a little short but that may be due to how much I liked it. It's worth the watch

    When a raised voice spells doom...

    “A Quiet Place” takes place in a world where the usual comforts of life are absent. People must be silent, since sound is the enemy and can result in a horrible death. A father (John Krasinski), mother (Emily Blunt), and their three children attempt to normalize a life that is anything but normal. Grotesque, voracious creatures hover, just waiting to pounce. Although they are blind and their only clue to human presence is sound, even the slightest gasp or crushed leaf or dropped toy can bring forth these demonic monsters. So life must be extremely quiet — no TV, no radio — even a whisper can be lethal. We see what an unexpected noise can do when the young son activates a mechanical toy and the buzzing causes one of these creatures to snatch him away. Krasinski, who also co-wrote and directs, offers a fresh take on the horror genre. There are no nubile teens venturing stupidly into danger, no gruesome scenes of torture, and no maniacs with sharp implements stalking about. The monsters, which are pretty awful-looking, are not shown clearly until about halfway through the film. Until then, they’re seen in flashing glimpses that provide shocks while hinting at their size and speed. It helps that Krasinski and Ms. Blunt (his real-life wife) are both excellent, their characters using expressions and sign language to communicate. Some of the early scenes show a family that not only has acclimated itself to a world without sound, but has meals together (served on vegetable leaves to avoid the clinking of plates), plays Monopoly (using cotton playing pieces), and does laundry (by hand, of course. A whirring washing machine would spell doom). The father is desperately trying to discover weaknesses of the creatures, but hasn’t succeeded. Though the film doesn’t have a typical soundtrack, it is not without sound. Periodically, we’ll get a loud musical cue when something awful happens or is about to. And the little sounds — breathing, the heartbeat of a baby, a creaky floorboard — create enormous suspense. Are they loud enough to draw the killer beasts? When the father and son head down to a river, the sound of rushing water temporarily breaks the silence and, because the roar of the water is louder than speech, provides cover for the two to talk as in better times. The movie’s greatest pleasure is that it uses suspense as it should be — to enhance terror, make the viewer anticipate, build tension, and make us care about the family. An example of well-crafted suspense occurs when the pregnant mother is delivering her baby while struggling to remain silent. If she screams, both she and the baby will perish. The script never addresses where these creatures came from. Whether they are alien creatures or the result of mutation or some other source doesn’t really matter. The focus is on one family and its constant, ongoing attempts to keep silent and survive. Attempting to explain the unexplainable would only cause distraction. Title cards tell us what day it is in the nightmare chronology and that sense of time illustrates the ingenuity of the couple and their kids to keep from becoming human prey. Rated PG-13, “A Quiet Place” is an excellent horror thriller. Combining some basic elements of the genre with an interesting concept makes for an exciting motion picture. Bonus materials on the 4K/ Blu-ray Combo Pack include the behind-the-scenes featurettes “Creating the Quiet: Behind the Scenes of A Quiet Place;” “The Sound of Darkness: Editing Sound for A Quiet Place,” and “A Reason for Silence: The Visual Effects of A Quiet Place.” A digital copy is enclosed.

    I saw this movie at the theater, and I loved it. It was suspenseful, intense, heart-warming (at times, really), and, for the most part, surprisingly clean (since no one talked, there was no foul language). As far as suspenseful, when I saw it at the movies, I realized that NO ONE was making a sound in the theater. When I reached for my snack, I didn't dare open it because it was SOOOO quiet. Even after the movie was over, people wouldn't talk above a whisper until they were away from that theater. I highly recommend this one.

    What is the point of having a SONOS surround sound when there is next to no sound in the movie! It is a tremendous movie! Well written, well directed, well shot, and well acted. We had seen it when it first came out and wanted to watch it again. I am excited to see what John Kransinski comes up with next. With this he proved there is much more to him than the fodder of the Office. I hope his next movie makes me proud of my surround sound though!

    If you love suspense/thriller movies, you'll love this one. This movie requires you to be quiet and pay attention or you will miss out on what is happening. I was beginning to wonder in the beginning if anyone would ever talk in this movie. I think this movie gives you a good perspective of what it is like to be completely and solely responsible for the lives of those you love. It was interesting to see how John Krasinski, the father adjusted to his protector role without a second thought to the worry and fear that he was feeling in his own being at the time. It shows you just how much your loved ones depend on you and where sometimes you don't understand how deeply important that is to their survival.

    Bravo Mr. Krasinski for a superbly put together story that will have you on the edge of your seat. From John K's attention to detail in bringing this story to the screen to his wife Emily Blunt's superb performance you will be anxiously waiting for what comes around the next turn. While this kind of story has been told before, this new take on it works on every level. Strap in folks for a tension filled ride.
