A Quiet Place (2018)

100%

I'm guessing his hairy hole is a quiet place. Do you really think Emily visits downtown?

It looks scary

It sounds like a rip-off of Bird Box by Josh Malerman

I think this might be good. Poor John, though. I can NEVER get past that silly putty clown nose.

Never new he'd be a talented director. Actually looks like horror.

Off the charts. This is going to be a Psycho level horror movie. Great reviews, great cast, truly scary and 90 minutes long.

Start printing money💴.

Still think he's a douche who trades on his wife's fame.

Another lame un scary movie.

Also another horror, The Endless, at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, to be released April 6.

Has anyone seen A Quiet Place, yet? Is it an allegory? Or it is really just about predators who follow a sense of sound?

I feel Krasinski has sizemeat. He has an unusually high level of confidence for a mealy looking guy.

The trailers feature a lot of closeup barefoot shots. I want to see Krasinski feets.

He may have muscles but has zero sex appeal.

R14, because when you look like a Wallace and Grommit character, that’s what happens.

All you have to do is read the reviews at RT r11....it will tell you what its about.....

Too intense for this scaredy cat. Even the trailer scared me.

Looks dumb to me.

You have to admit he has great hair and a great beard. I'm also with the poster who said he must have a huge cock.

r17 People are saying it's one of the tensest moviegoing experiences they've ever had. So I'm definitely seeing it on streaming only, where I'll be able to pause it, do other stuff, and remind myself it's just a movie.

I thought he was incredibly sexy in 13 Hours.

[quote] Off the charts. This is going to be a Psycho level horror movie.

I'm sure.

This looks good, but I can't forgive that he started in the rightwing propaganda film about 'Benghazi.' He's either a rightwinger or soulless and cynical enough to play their game for fame.

*starred in

He grew up in my hometown which is a liberal bastion.

It’s the first thing this year I’ve really wanted to see. Glad to see the reviews coming out are strong. I was looking forward to it.

Maybe it will get me over how bad IT was. Damn.

Are you from Newton, R24? Isn't that where he grew up? I grew up just over the line, in West Roxbury.

Never liked him and i never understood how he has a career. Just do not want to look at his floppy mug.

I would be all over that.

I think John said Emily didn't like the way he looked when he was filming 13 Hours.

bdf...

yes Newton.

Lmao I remember Emily told marvel she would only play black widow if her fully dunno eared husband would play captain america, marvel said lol no so she signed on to that huge flop with jack black as a giant. Bet she regrets turning down a role that would have brought her back to relevancy and a list status.

I like his goofy dork face. tall and husband like. hope to be pleasantly surprised but won't be surprised if not. hype = cha ching or flop

Was Blunt pregnant in real life when they made this? Why else would they be dumb enough to not take precautions to make sure to not have sex and conceive while blind, hungry aliens are eating anybody who makes noise? Babies are the worst.

We require sizemeat verificatinski!

Bird Box will be coming to Netflix in December.

What is it called when you have to rely on your more talented & famous spouse to get work?

A lot of the reviews are raving about Krasinskis directing......apparently that is where his real talent lies.

Krasinski wants to be a star, it's neva gonna happen he should move on to directing.

I dont know....many an actor has gone on to win an Academy Award for directing.

R32 I would’ve doubted you but they are apparently trying to package themselves as Mr Fantastic and Invisible woman in a Fantastic Four reboot.

Blunt lost me when she did all those interviews talking about how she wants to be a gay icon. It came across as if she viewed gays as little minstrels to boost her fame. It put a very sour taste in my mouth about her.

Is this a remake of the Sandra Dee/Troy Donahue movie?

[quote]All of which is to say: “A Quiet Place” has the smart/dumb, original/derivative, logic/anti-logic quality of a mid-period M. Night Shyamalan special like “Signs” or “The Village.”

So original.

I've always wondered why DL raves about her. She's mediocre to me.

Yes, Rose for R43

[quote] I've always wondered why DL raves about her.

Because all the cubeworkers here forever identified with her famous attention-getting turn as the resentful, sarcastic, snobby receptionist in THE DEVIL EARS PRADA, that's why.

There were a lot of blind items before they married that she slept around on him with EVERYBODY while she or he was away on a film set. They’ve died down now. All the blinds are about his drinking now and her quiet suffering.

Their marriage will not end well.

R49 = Channing Tatum.

WHY are gay men so MEAN???? I love me some John Krasinski, I think he's adorable, and I really like Emily Blunt too, she's smart and funny.

Oh, you horrible, unfulfilled old witches, doing your tatting while you rock in your rockers like Mother Bates, forming a hate circle to hiss at EVERY NICE PERSON.

Not in the mood for it tonight, girls. Not in the mood.

Can't stand the sleepy eyed blank faced bitch.

It’s so good! Krasinski deserves all the praise he’s getting for the direction.

So, R16, would you name something else you've seen that gives you a similar vibe to this film?

Is it gross out horror?

The film is doing extremely well in theaters. It was tracked to do low-to-mid $20Ms on the opening weekend but is now expected to make $47M. For a film that had a budget of $17M that's magnificent.

The Get Out of spring 2018

H Y P E

She always looks like she just smelled a fart

Don't forget Hereditary R56

Do you think they stand to make a lot of money from this? He takes a screenwriting credit as well as directing and starring. She is ostensibly the talent.

Kasinski, forcing his wife into her Trog years already.

r49, I worry you may be right. During the promotion for this, Krasinski has repeated over and over how much more in love with Blunt he is now that they've worked together. I suspect she dumps him if the film doesn't get any award season buzz.

From the way she spoke of him during a recent interview, I don't think Emily ever really got over Michael Buble.

[quote]Also another horror, The Endless, at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, to be released April 6.

Looks promising because they didn't show the whole movie in the trailer YET. It;s early another trailer could be released before opening.

Remarkable a script with the name "Bird Box" was written, bought, produced and acquired and no one thought it might be the stupidest title for a movie ever.

So is this a killer mutant humans movie?

Its about blind bugs

[quote] I don't think Emily ever really got over Michael Buble.

He got fat, so I'm actually okay with it.

Saw a scene where a kid's toy makes noise and the father is rushing to the kid while the monster is doing the same in the woods. If the creature is blind, how can it run so fast without hitting trees?

It was a smartass comment r68.......

r68......(spoiler)......In 2020, the world goes into lockdown as the planet is overrun by sightless, predatory extraterrestrial creatures with extremely sensitive hearing (who seemingly use echolocation to hunt humans and other prey).

The trailer is good but the premise seems utterly silly. It's one of those 'new' horror films trying to be quiet when in fact it's just an excuse for an endless number of loud jump scare scenes

This movie wasn’t tense at all. It was really boring actually. All the millennials were texting during the movie because a slow silent movie couldn’t keep their attention.

But I ended up liking it in the end. And I guess the movie eventually won over the texters too since that very last scene (that cock was really predictable) got applause and people yelling “hell yeah!” Then everyone clapped and gave a standing O as the credits rolled.

[quote]it's just an excuse for an endless number of loud jump scare scenes

There really wasn’t any jump scenes. The creatures crawl at a snail’s pace.

This was basically a remake of Signs. There are creatures that aren’t seen. People don’t know their weakness. Then they find out their overly simple stupid weakness (water) and defeat them.

[quote]There really wasn’t any jump scenes

Hmm...there were a couple just in the trailer itself. Anytime there's noise, it's LOUD so it's meant to make people jump out

This was the best thriller movie I've seen in a long time. I'd put it up there with Get Out.

At the end of our screaming, the audience clapped and cheered. It’s a new dawn for Paramount Pictures, hopefully more hits will follow, erasing the stench of a more than 10-year slide of disasters and clunkers that were green lighted under that talentless, clueless hack, Brad Grey.

But really, lbh, there’s BDF and then there’s John Krasinski’s face. He looks like a double, BBDF.

Brad Grey was killed because he had no taste in film, nor was he able to tell that his money grubbing wife was a Dutch Dyke.

We are all so starved for entertainment beyond the Trump Show.

Bring on the superhero movies! Being on the Minions movies! More comic book movies, more animation, more Star Wars, more sequels, sequels, sequels!

Just saw it. As a horror movie addict, I loved it.

R72 John shows cock?

“This was the best thriller movie I've seen in a long time. I'd put it up there with Get Out.”

That’s a shame R76 because Get Out was junk.

Ugh, R80, I hate the contemporary filmscape too. It is a genuine surprise when something wonderful is made. I don't think this looks wonderful, but it looks better than 90% of what has and will come out this year. Until December when everything is released in limited theaters to compete for awards.

John and Graham Norton were constructing this treacly narrative about Emily Blunt being some kind of great beauty of the screen with legendary acting talent.

Just saw it. Reminded me of a twilight zone episode. I like horror movies. This worked for me.

What do the creatures look like? (Just a description will do; please don't post a pic in case others would rather not know.)

R87 like a crawling flesh flower

Will it become this year's "Blair Witch Project"?

This will swell Krasinski's misshapen head even more than it already is and he will cheat on her, get caught, and she will dump him.

I'm with R45. She's one of those actors whose level of success just makes you go "Why...?"

I've only seen Blunt in a few films (The Girl on the Train, Devil Wears Prada, Edge of Tomorrow, the execrable, pretentious Looper) and in each of those roles, she wasn't awful, but she was instantly forgettable and interchangeable. And she's attractive, but by Hollywood standards not extraordinarily so. There's no "there" there, so what's up with her continuously getting major roles?

As a matter of fact, when there was another DL thread about Emily Blunt, I had to look up her filmography to realize that she was the one acting in all of the movies I just listed; she had made such little impression that not only did I not bother to take note of who the actress was, but I didn't remember her from the previous role I had seen her in.

Maybe she actually is talented, but I've only had the chance to see her in mediocre Hollywood fluff roles? In The Girl on the Train, all she had to do was slur her speech/pretend to be drunk, scream, be sad/cry, freak out, and just be a complete neurotic mess in general; not exactly a difficult role to pull off. Neither was "bitchy receptionist" or her two nearly identical "no-nonsense female love interest" roles from EoT and Looper.

Oh and I have nothing to say about her husband because I've never heard of him before now, but I'm mildly creeped out at how much he resembles a former colleague of mine.

Did he retain his 13 Hours body?

I don't get the critics saying this movie is unbearably tense. It wasn't tense at all. I remember the first The Strangers being terribly tense but this one wasn't. It was very boring until the very end. I wouldn't really even say this was a horror movie, in the same way Signs wasn't a horror movie.

Krasinski is fit and sexy. So many here must only like pretty boys. The alleged look alike colleague @ R92 is cute too.

I just saw it, was all set to be bored, and I loved it. It was powerful, restrained and made sense given the characters situation. He did a great job an will become an A list director from this.

90 minutes of characters walking around barefoot and not one good shot of Krasinski's toes. Very disappointing.

Krasinski is only hot because of his beard. It distracts from his face.

Movie is a total knock off of Signs. The first 45 minutes is terminally boring and so quiet you can't even cough in the theater. The last 45 is very good, but so full of logical holes that unravel the whole thing if you think about them too much.

I almost walked out of the theater during the first half of the movie because I was bored out of my mind. And I was irritated by all the other bored people who were not even paying attention to the movie anymore. They were talking to each other, whispering, rustling their bags, texting on their phone, playing games on their phone. No one got time or the patience for a silent movie no more. But I'm glad I stuck it out because the ending was good.

Why is this considered a horror movie when Signs isn't categorized as one?

“No one got time or the patience for a silent movie no more.” Of fucking dear.

This gonna be Emily blunt's year.

R92, you shit. I know where you live. You better watch your ass.

I love Emily Blunt for Edge of Tomorrow, in which Tom Cruise's character gets killed over and over and over and over again.

Given R99’s description, I’ll just watch it on tv later this year.

Somebody tell me if these scenes are in the movie (check):

- Somebody gets attacked by these blind vipers so we can get a full sense of the terror the family is living with

- Emily Blunt gives agonising birth in silence only to have the baby cry upon its exit from her vagina - baby and mother are either fatally attacked or husband throws water at them and discovers how to defeat them in time to save his wife, newborn and family

Emily Blunt gives birth in a bathtub. The baby can't scream under water so the aliens don't hear them. The aliens can't touch water or they melt so the under water baby is safe.

'A Quiet Place' Delivers $19M Friday, Looking at $46M+ Debut

50 Million opening weekend for a movie with a 17 million budget. A new Hollywood power couple is born. And Blunt has the Mary Poppins reboot coming up.

Doesn’t the baby have to take a breath at some point?

R108, I think it was Lip Sync Battle that birthed this Hollywood power couple.

[quote] Emily Blunt gives birth in a bathtub. The baby can't scream under water so the aliens don't hear them. The aliens can't touch water or they melt so the under water baby is safe.

Are you guessing or is that what you took from the film? She climbed in the tub to hide but didn't give birth there and we see the alien in water.

There are a lot of guesses in this thread r111......

Kras looks great with a beard. I've never noticed jowls or weak chin on him as others suggest.

For someone whose seen the film, can you answer a question? __ —

How did the monster get down into the hiding area?

HE'S UGLY

I dunno, I’m starting to really like Emily Blunt.

(That should give her much comfort.)

I wish the best for both of them; he seems like a sweetheart with a girthy, hairy cock.

Are original films and filmmaking making a comeback? I hope so.

$50 million opening weekend on a $17 million budget. This is what you get when you have a true MOVIE mogul (Jim Gianopulos) running a studio instead of a TV/AGENT failure (Brad Grey) who iwas truly clueless and nearly destroyed Paramount - and needed a stack of phone books to see over the steering wheel of his car.

[quote]Doesn’t the baby have to take a breath at some point?

No, the baby has developed gills. In this universe, people have evolved to be able to breathe underwater to hide from the aliens. All the humans who didn't mutate gills were already eaten. So the next generation of all the survivors all have gills.

[quote]How did the monster get down into the hiding area?

By walking, seriously.

[quote]Are original films and filmmaking making a comeback? I hope so.

I wouldn't call a remake of Signs original.

I was underwhelmed. I give a solid B for effort. It was very similar to the Black Mirror episode "Metalhead," which was 10x more tense.

Yeah, it wasn't tense at all. Orphan was more tense than this.

Saw this over the weekend. Quite an effective movie. It’s got a surprising way of adding suspense gradually so that when the shit finally hits the fan, the set pieces are excruciating.

It KILLED at the box office — $50MM. 8.3 on IMDb, 97% on RT.

[quote]Emily Blunt gives birth in a bathtub. The baby can't scream under water so the aliens don't hear them. The aliens can't touch water or they melt so the under water baby is safe.

Lol complete nonsense of course.

[quote]I wouldn't call a remake of Signs original.

I’d actually like to see a remake of Signs. This wasn’t one though.

I just saw it. It was very tense, and the people who saw it with me said exactly the same. It was scary throughout, with a palpable sense of an ensuing climatic terror. The best horror movie since Get Out.

[quote]It’s got a surprising way of adding suspense gradually so that when the shit finally hits the fan, the set pieces are excruciating.

What do you mean by this? What is the surprising way? What is excruciating about the set pieces?

Are you ok R126? Can we call someone for you?

Huh, R127? You make no sense. I asked a legitimate question.

R102 The fact that you're on DL doesn't me surprise at all.

BTW all the lunches you pack from home look gross

(72) There was applause in my theater too. Haven’t seen that in years.

Enjoy a great film. Enjoy the success of others. Why do some of you have such hate for people you do not know? Jesus.

For those who have seen it: I enjoy suspense films but loathe horror films (horror to me = graphic blood and guts and scarring violent/demonic imagery).

If this is more of a suspense film, I’ll be excited to see it, but if it’s true horror then I’d like to skip it...

So, for the DLers who have viewed it, is it “true horror” like it’s being billed as, or more a suspense film?

Thank you for any comments/replies!

R130, you must not have seen Black Panther. Almost every showing ends in audience applause

Loved the movie. My only problem was that it made no sense that these people would get pregnant with all this shit going on. I know people have needs but really just have oral sex for Christ sake. If they had simply had her pregnant before the invasion it would have made more sense.

I think the idea was that they decided to get her pregnant after losing their youngest child in the opening scene, r134. It makes more sense from the perspective of grieving parents trying to rebuild their family structure.

R132, this movie is more suspense than pure horror, so I think you will enjoy it. There's no gross out gore or anything like Hostel. I think it's a solid movie overall based on a simple concept and executed quite well.

Why would they let the little kid roam in the outside world for even a second, especially after he expressed interest in a noisy toy? Parents in this environment should have watched their kids incessantly like hawked, especially when outside. Why would they be Walking significantly ahead of the little boy?

Also, how did the creature get inside the house? They are physical beings not supernatural spirits, and I assume doors were locked, so how did they get in to stalk Emily B?

[quote]Also, how did the creature get inside the house? They are physical beings not supernatural spirits, and I assume doors were locked, so how did they get in to stalk Emily B?

Why does that matter?

If we really must discuss this ... I assume there was a window or a door that was unlocked but even if not, it's not like a creature that can blow a hole through the metal side of a grain silo is going to have a problem with a locked door.

[quote]Why would they let the little kid roam in the outside world for even a second, especially after he expressed interest in a noisy toy?

If he's not quiet unless closely monitored, it obviously makes more sense to keep him close and monitor him than to leave him somewhere alone. There seemed to be virtually no safe place from the alien intruders.

[quote]I think the idea was that they decided to get her pregnant after losing their youngest child in the opening scene, [R134]. It makes more sense from the perspective of grieving parents trying to rebuild their family structure.

I agree that that's probably the storyline explanation, and that's reinforced by their joy that it's a boy. But I agree with the poster upthread that you responded to. This is not a great time to be getting pregnant and being in labor when any noise you make could be your last.

But the story is helped by the pregnancy, of course. In fact the pregnancy becomes the story.

Is there a way to watch online yet?

They give you a timeline in the movie. She gets pregnant before the general public knows 'they' respond to sound.

Just saw it - so good!

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

What was the deal with the old man? I don't buy that someone that crazy would have survived that long.

R106, I did see Emily's character hide in the bathtub, but there was no water in it.

She fills it to give birth. Duh.

[Quote] I’d actually like to see a remake of Signs.

Who should direct?

Why do we need a remake of "Signs"? It's perfect as it is. (Minus maybe Mel Gibson—but he is admittedly very good in the role.)

Mel Gibson

[quote]since that very last scene (that cock was really predictable) got applause and people yelling “hell yeah!”

Agree that cock was really predictable. I was anticipating it and then groaned when I saw it. A better director would have resisted the urge to show it for a cheap laugh. But let’s face it, it was Emily Blunt’s cock that got the audience pumped up and applauding at the end.

R142 The movie starts almost 90 days into the invasion and they already know about sound. The rest of the movie is set over a year later.

R151 is correct. They got pregnant after they knew about the sound-hunting.

Maybe it's a pro-life message?

Yes, they got pregnant afterwards but where did R151 get those numbers that the movie starts at 90 days into the invasion and the rest is a year later? That was never specified. Is he just pulling those numbers out of his ass?

I'm not R151 but there are title cards that specifically say "Day [Number]", R153. He's not pulling them out of nowhere.

There were no title cards that said “a year later.”

The first title card says "Day 89," then there's a later title card—before the bulk of the action—that says "Day 472."

So yes, the last bulk of the movie takes place a year later.

(There's another title card in between those two that says Day Three-Hundred-Something—can't find the exact number online.)

142 here - It was my impression that Emily is pregnant from the outset of the movie (she certainly looked it). My poor eyesight read the last title card as 127 or 172, but in any event I never got the impression that the last bulk of the movie was a year later. If that was the case then having a baby seems like suicide. Of course I suppose the stress of such circumstances and losing their youngest might cause irrational actions. Geez, two people climaxing whjle making this baby and trying to remain silent would be enough of trial wouldn't it?

R144 I don't understand the old man and woman either... I forgot about it until you mentioned it.

R157 I shook my head when I saw she was pregnant and muttered 'breeders gotta breed no matter WHAT!..."

Also - R157 - I was struck at the abundance of condoms that must have been available at that drugstore they were in...

This is why we can't have good movies.

[quote]Agree that cock was really predictable. I was anticipating it and then groaned when I saw it. A better director would have resisted the urge to show it for a cheap laugh. But let’s face it, it was Emily Blunt’s cock that got the audience pumped up and applauding at the end.

Cock, lol. Gays and guns! What she did was not cocking the gun. With a pump action shotgun it's called "racking."

When she racks that 12 gauge, with its unmistakable (and quite loud) sound, that's the definitive statement that this group of humans, helpless victims up til this point, have agency over their lives once again. It's a splendid moment and made me happy, and my fellow audience members agreed.

[quote]What was the deal with the old man? I don't buy that someone that crazy would have survived that long.

We don't know for sure, but we get the impression that the man was scraping by with his wife and she had made a mistake and made a sound, and was killed. He came out and found her. Rather than living silently and completely alone, he called the creatures to take him.

There were title cards and she got pregnant after the son died. I think she gave birth in the bathtub but there wasn’t water, the aliens left because of the fireworks. She then crawled into shower and turned the water on to mask the sound.

I just saw it and enjoyed it despite with flaws. What I liked best was that you can tell Krasinski made it with a lot of love, for his wife onscreen and for his children who are played by surrogates. It’s totally Spielbergian but it’s done better than a lot of other Spielberg homages like JJ Abrams’ Super 8 and with more sincerity than Shymalan’s films. And Krasinski is hot as fuck.

I liked Super8

It has heart and soul but not Spielberg’s saccharine schmaltz

[quote]Rather than living silently and completely alone, he called the creatures to take him.

That was rather selfish because he saw that there was a man and a kid there. He called the creature to kill them too and didn’t give a fuck.

I saw the movie and did not see three title cards. Were they superimposed in the corner?

[quote]But let’s face it, it was Emily Blunt’s cock that got the audience pumped up and applauding at the end.

I didn't know this film was pro-trans!

I liked the movie except for the final scene. The facial expression on E Blunt was unhinged.

You would be unhinged too if you were holding a cock in your hand.

Awesome!

This was the scariest film I've seen in years. I could only think of a few movies just as scary in the last 20 years:

Life, Predator remake, Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, The Descent; Blair Witch Project.

You will be on the edge of your seat. TOP NOTCH THRILLER.

What's with him doing the "shh" shit with his fingers? does he just do that the whole time? does everyone not know to be quiet?

I saw it. Very tense. It's weird to come out of a movie where the dialogue would not even fit a single page.

[quote]This was the scariest film I've seen in years. I could only think of a few movies just as scary in the last 20 years:

What? It wasn't even scary.

[quote]You will be on the edge of your seat.

Uh, No, you won't. The audience were all bored and yawning and texting. They were restless. I'm sure they wished they had a fast forward button to fast forward to the action. Since there's barely any dialogue, you could watch the whole movie on fast forward in 2 minutes.

R173 You really found the Predator remake scary?

R176 fell asleep during Silence of the Lambs, laughed through The Exorcist, did a crossword puzzle watching Psycho, and puts bamboo shoots under his fingernails for fun.

I actually did fall asleep watching Silence of the Lambs on cable. And Psycho was so boring, I was playing Candy Crush the whole time so I might as well have been doing a crossword puzzle. Never saw The Exorcist but that pee soup did look ridiculous and funny by today's standards.

Anyone else have some funny moments in the theater due to the long silent sequences? During one particularly tense scene, all of a sudden from the previews in the theater next door you could hear “MAMMA MIA! HERE I GO AGAIN! MY MY HOW COULD I FORGET YOU!”

The movie is great and scarier than 99% of "scary movies" or thrillers released.

r176 is just a contrarian troll. F/F, please.

The movie far exceeded my expectation. It was really really good. The film is scary but moving. It’s about what good parents are willing to do for their children. The acting is super. 4.5/5.

John in the movie if the def of a real man: masculine but gentle, tough but full of love to give

Yep he is very hot and masculine, yet loving

I thought about the pregnancy stuff too. So they had sex and didn't use protection. Maybe they couldn't get any, due to lack of supplies. Ok, why not anal or mutual masterbation. They're a heterosexual couple and they only do intercourse. Ok.

They must have had intercourse in the basement or soundproof room. Fine.

But u know what? Kill the freaking baby. It's going to be too noisy.

C’mon, they’d used up all the condoms from that small general store.

I just watched it, it was meh. I don't really consider it a horror movie either, like someone upthread said. I wonder why they didn't just put up tents by that waterfall or why they didn't all live underground all the time. Also why Kras did what he did in the end, it seemed a bit dramatic. Now I want the spoiler for "Hereditary" which is bound to fail miserably since every fucking critic is calling it the scariest movie ever! etc. Just like they did about "Mother!".

It freaked me out.

I just watched it on putlocker. Soooooo boring. I couldn't keep watching, it was bad, glad I didn't waste money to see it in theatre. For anyone wanting to see it...

Good but a few missed opportunities. Would’ve been better if you saw the town with all its people being decimated one by one by the monsters. And exactly where did the monsters originate? Had a slight problem with the baby too (baby’s gonna cry) but can write it off as the pregnancy maybe being accidental.

Saw it. Entertaining as fuck. The entire audience behaved, no one chatted or texted....go to a better theater, not a ghetto one that so many of you obviously go to. The movie had a fantastic and original soundscape. John and Emily did a fine job. The creatures were unoriginal...Stranger Things did it first.

You old bitter queens are hilarious.

HISS HISS HISS....🙄

I'm not a bitter old queen but you're clearly a fucking clueless millenial if you think those Giger looking creatures were done first by fucking "Stranger Things"! This was a total "Signs" ripoff and it's hard to feel sympathetic towards people who do the loudest thing possible, breed.

Fuck off with that "its a ripoff of Signs" bullshit. It is nothing like Signs. Does it meet up to all the hype ? No.....but its a good movie and deserves the good press.

Is it really a metaphor for the coming minority status of whites in America?

I can see a SNL skit with people in a Broadway audience, sprinkled with aliens, who eat people who unwrap candy.

The more I read about it and listen about it on film critics' podcasts, the less I like it. And Krasinski talking about "elevated horror" just has me rolling my eyes. Know your place, bitch.

.....

It’s the best horror since IT

I thought it was fantastic. Absolutely loved it. I found it very tense, but maybe that because I hate pain and scream like a banshee at the slightest injury. The nail scene and the birth scene were really hard for me to watch. But I’ve given birth and could barely stand a minute without an epidural so I’m often creeped out by natural birth scenes. The quiet natural birth scene made me think of Katie Holmes and her alleged wacky Scientology birth.

Don’t find Krasinski attractive at all. I like, not love, Blunt but she was amazing in this.

Forget this racist movie and see Traffik instead.

Oh FFS! Though I guess the aliens are 'Super Predators'.

John Krasinski and Emily Cunt are the etiffany of white privilege.

R198 Richard Brody’s reviews are so full of crap.

Consistently, unrelentingly, crap.

I don't think there is any denying that the entire ethos of the movie is deeply, profoundly conservative (i.e., reactionary).

I saw this last night. I liked it even though it was basically a slightly more gruesome version of Signs. Since the family was going to towns to get supplies the wife should have tried to track down abortion pills.

I prefer "Signs."

Me, too.

I like them both for what they are. They are very different movies.

's true

Poor jon, his movie already forgotten. No one's talking about it anymore.

[quote] Poor jon

That's not an appropriate description of him at all. His little movie cost $17 million, and now has a worldwide gross box office of $269 million dollars.

Rich John. If not by this movie, then by his next deal.

Just watched A Quiet Place... what an annoyingly stupid movie!

Why didn't the dad record a few hours of the noisy waterfall and then broadcast it at their farm 24/7? Then they wouldn't be in such danger, duhhh!

Also, it is criminally stupid to get knocked up in such a situation!

What did they think was going to happen when she gave birth? She thinks she would give a silent birth and not scream? She thinks the baby would not cry loudly when he comes out? They were sentencing their kids and the whole family to death by carrying out this pregnancy.

I got the impression the family were devout Christians . Notice how even with the world being invaded by aliens the women still wore skirts...

R212, I thought that was just so that they didn't make noise when they walk, if their legs rubbed against each other.

But yeah, since they're not fat, wtf! Maybe they ARE just a total rightwing redneck family, with the woman barefoot and pregnant and only the boy allowed to go fishing? I mean, they did hold hands and pray, which grossed me out since they eat with their hands, bleah!

This movie is totally a suspense film, not horror.

I can't remember any graphic grossness to worry about, for those of you who are sensitive.

Just found this YouTuber, and he does an excellent job of explaining every single annoyingly stupid thing in this annoyingly stupid movie.

I found it annoying that they didn't even bother to explain what those creatures were exactly, or how they came to be there. Premise more or less unacceptable.

The only true scare was a loud music boom. A cheap trick.

This movie is filled with stupid and wasn’t remotely tense or scary. Possibly the most overrated movie of the year. Should have been a Cloverfield movie.

Is it getting a sequel?

SPOILER......Why did the dad have to die and not the annoying girl?

I THINK r215's clip was rather hateful. The film has its flaws but it isn't that bad. I liked the kids also....

For those who may still be confused, I just rewatched the first few minutes (I downloaded it; thank god I didn't pay for this garbage): the opening sequence happens on Day 89, and the rest of the movie is on Days 472 and 473.

[quote]SPOILER......Why did the dad have to die and not the annoying girl?

Because the movie is stupid and trite, that's why.

The dad sacrificing himself just condemned his wife to death, since the kids are young and stupid and will eventually make noise that kills them all.

The two kids should've been taught to always hide in different places, so that even if one is caught and killed, the other might live. This way, the dad could've let one of his stupid kids go while he and the other survive.

Maybe he didn't die, maybe he stepped out of the way quietly and the alien kept going. I smell seeeequuuuuuuellllllll!

Without a doubt there will be a sequel...

I would happily down every inch of Krasinski

Gimme that kielbasa

This movie was absolutely terrible.

Maybe could make it as a Monster of the Week X Files episode.

Krasinki’s DRAMATIC FINAL SCENE was laughably bad, cheesy, and obvious.

The oh so twee Instagrammable barn with pillar candles and hay bales as seating was a fucking joke.

J.K. made sure he looked like an LL Bean catalog model in all scenes, while everyone else was dressed like shit.

His wife is old looking and full of fillers. Glad to see they have silent balayage and Botox providers in this bleak future!

The fucking nail was the “scariest” part, and they just left it there.

Get your fucking barn wedding, donut wall movie out of my face, you Sarah Paulson looking bitch.

He’s fucking someone else by now. She looks embalmed.

[quote]This movie was absolutely terrible.

A worldwide gross of $332,532,938 million (thus far) on a $17 million production budget. Yeah, that must mean it’s really “terrible.”

No movie in the world has grossed $332,532,938 million r231. Perhaps you meant "$332,532,938" or "$332.5 million".

Don't get these hate queens who say things like "the movie was absolutely terrible" -- no, by no objective measure can you say it was absolutely terrible. So, why sully what might be some valid criticisms of the movie (which I agree, is not perfect) with "DEFCON MARY" drama?

[quote]Maybe could make it as a Monster of the Week X Files episode.

How would it possibly work as an X Files episode? You can't have a world of a silent apocalypse for just one episode and then go back to everyone talking the next week.

R234, " Monster of the Week" episodes are completely unrelated to the overall canon of the X-Files universe. Thus, they can have literally any sort of themes, ideas, or rules, and it doesn't have to affect the rest of the show in the slightest.

So yes, this could indeed be a Monster of the Week ep, without it "ruining" the show.

Krasinski is getting quite the build up but in my opinion he's not so great . I'm so tired of men with beards.

This movie made Blunt a bankable movie star (and I thought she looked like her character was supposed to look in Quiet). She is even making a movie with the Rock based on a Disney theme park ride. Will her Mary Poppins be a hit?

What are you talking about? The X-Files isn't The Twilight Zone or an anthology series. You can't have Mulder and Scully one week live in a world where no one could talk because it has been destroyed by aliens and then the next week have the world return to normal.

[quote]This movie made Blunt a bankable movie star

Honey, Emily Blunt has been a bankable movie star since "The Devil Wears Prada".

Emily who?

LOL, R239

I thought it was great.

Then yer a dummy, R241.

Saw it , hated it, took a shit on the negative.

I agree with r243.

It was shit.

I wanted to like this. I really did. But I did not. Interesting concept and potentially interesting exercise but execution fell pretty flat for me, often veering into straight up corniness. There was no history in the relationships. The monster looked like a bunch of other monsters. And the score (yes there is score, and a lot of it) was just no good.

My man and I hated it.

2/5

Not enough feets.

[quote]Also, how did the creature get inside the house? They are physical beings not supernatural spirits, and I assume doors were locked, so how did they get in to stalk Emily B?

Either they did not have any internal doors, or they were always kept open (presumably, because they could mistakenly be slammed or squeak), and the front door may have been missing (or always open), as well. I do not recall precisely.

[quote]Rather than living silently and completely alone, he called the creatures to take him.

[quote]That was rather selfish because he saw that there was a man and a kid there. He called the creature to kill them too and didn’t give a fuck.

My impression was that grief overtook him and he had already made up his mind to sacrifice himself (which JK’s character saw, and which was why he made the “shhhh” sign). In the moment that the man and boy suddenly show up, the old man was too far gone emotionally to think about his action putting them at risk.

While not the most amazing movie, it kept my interest, and there was quite a bit that I liked about it, in spite of all of the plotholes (e.g., the noise it would have taken to generate electricity for the farm, harvest it, and outfit it as they did. And did no one else worldwide figure out that high frequency noise was these creatures’ Achilles heel?).

And as for the question re how the creatures (which I thought were well-rendered, considering how all basic designs have seemingly been done) came to be: One of the newspapers that wallpapered the “soundproof” room had a headline concerning meteors from space or something similar, which may be how the things arrived on earth.

Louder With Crowder had an interesting take on the film: it's full of "conservative values" (a husband and wife not single parents, prayer, division of labor by the sexes, etc), which drives the "libtards" mad!

(I didn't pay attention to this movie when it first came out; was there any leftist backlash against the "traditional values" in the movie?)

God, anyone who uses the word "tard" as a suffix needs to be put in concentration camp.

Convenient no one snored.

Err, "A Quiet Place" is not a conservative movie. Love how that rightwing twonk begs the question by claiming positive values for rightwingers.

Just saw it today, and like others have said, it reminded me of Signs so much.

I started rolling my eyes when the girl started showing signs of teenage rebellion - I just knew her angst and whatever were going to have an impact later in the film. Then we find out it's not rebellion but that she thinks her father blames her for the little kid getting killed. Boohoo fo her. When she went to visit the dead brothers cross and turned on the toy rocket, then she sat there until it got dark instead of going back to pregnant mom was a sure sign that the mother's water was going to break while she was alone. That was a gimme - who couldn't see that coming. I was bored by the time the boy was in the cornfield and his sister found him. Didn't care about the newborn in a box with an oxygen mask, or the sudden water flood or the fall into the grain silo. Monster eats the father - yawn.

The ending with the mother cocking the shotgun to go hunting ETs.... I was just glad that I didn't pay to see this.

Hmm I’m with r244. Alien misses Krasinski but in doing so rips off all his clothes. He spends the whole of the sequel naked.

[quote]Monster eats the father - yawn.

Or did it? All he had to do was step to the side quietly. Can you say SEQUEL boys and girls?

The movie is to be commended for hiring death people.

I picked this movie up at a Black Friday sale thinking it was going to be good. What a trite piece of crap.

I liked the movie but CinemaSins points out all the plot issues

FINALLY saw it.

Fuck that little girl. Jesus, what a cunt. EVERYTHING SHE DID WAS WRONG until the very end. She got her brother killed. She got her dad killed. She was bitchy and whiney and stupid the entire goddamned time, and I just wanted to punch her in the throat.

But other than her, I loved the movie... very well done. Original. Interesting.

I thought it was a decent film minus that girl. Many films and series now have the one token child that's the worst brat that f_cks everything up. I think it's more the teens though, almost every single time they're insufferable stereotypes in these films.

The nail set up made someone stepping on it later so obvious but I liked how her pain was doubled because of her labor. Her water broke before she stepped on the nail, right? I only watched it today and I forget already.
