re: A Quiet Place (spoilers)

Slight spoiler






In the end when Emily Blount and the little girl found an effective way to deal with the creatures and just said frick it and pumped the shotgun I got chills. Some might say it was a anti climatic ending but I thought it was perfect. She did a great job portraying the vulnerable yet protective mother and played the part to a t. Just great work all the way around.

Yep there were some cheers in the audience when she cocked that shotgun and basically said Let's dance alien fu--ers.

Loved it, such a fun movie to see in a packed theatre. 15 minutes into the movie it's still dead arse silent and every time someone coughs the whole theatre jumps

I always loved "Signs" and this was a better, more unique version of a similar premise. My one notable complaint is the ambiguity with regards to the creatures' backstory. Given that they are not obviously beings of higher intelligence (as opposed to just highly evolved "wild" animals) and are completely blind, it's reasonable to want to know how they got here. I mean, they clearly didn't build a spaceship and fly across the universe. It's also unclear how many are actually here now, there are 3 in close proximity to the family but in total? And how far away do you have to be in order for them to not hear you? If they kill those three and stay where they are, how can they possibly now they're safe?

Admittedly small things though and it's a very very good movie.

I was impressed by the girl, her facial expressions and looks of terror were remarkably convincing.

How many creatures were coming to them at the end?


Hope she had a couple boxes of shells.


Also wondering where the power was coming from?

And were the signal fires at the beginning other families? They didn’t go into much detail there either.

Loved it. It was super weird but awesome with it being so quiet for so long in a packed theater. Just increased the tension. Acting was really good, especially Emily Blunt. It’s still hard for me to not see Jim Halpert with Krasinski but that’s not his fault

As others have said a little more backstory on the event as well as a bit more on Krasinski and the deaf daughters relationship would have helped

I enjoyed it. The complexity was good. Acting was tremendous. Lots of holes in the story line that would have added to the movie if they’d been explained.

Reminded me a lot of the Cloverfield movies. Impressed overall, but a little too Sci-Fi for my liking.

ETA: SUPER impressed at how well they pulled off an entire movie with essentially no verbal dialogue. Outstanding acting by everyone.

Saw it last night. I liked it, but there were things I didn’t like at all. I thought the end was cheesy and kinda silly.

I wasn’t a fan of the SFX. Thought they looked awfully cartoony.

Loved the plot though. Interesting and different from usual horror films.

Well acted pretty much all around.

I kept wondering how they had power as well.

The thing that bugged me the most was how unorganized they seemed. Like no backup plans or “if shite goes down let’s meet ______.” Stuff like that. Also thought it was a bad idea to leave for the day with your wife THAT pregnant. I’d think that once she’s a month or less out from a due date, you’d want to stick around just in case she goes into early labor.

All in all, I enjoyed it. It was different. Definitely would recommend.

They did have backup plans. They even briefly discuss the backup plans. I think the movie shows they were trained.

I found it absurd how the military or an armed populace couldn’t put up a fight. The newspaper covers obviously indicated it was a global event.

Helicopters with machine gun would own.
