It's been a while since I've seen a horror with a relatively original subject. Well, considering that I've grown older and I don't have the same preference for scary movies as 10 years ago, that might explain it. In any case, "A Quiet Place" manages to bring something new, although in essence is not more than another monster horror. We have a context set after the invasion of some ugly creatures, with no sight, but with a damn good hearing, and more important with plenty of teeth and appetite for humans. So, to live, you should keep quiet. In this context we have a family of 4, former and soon to be again 5, who try to survive somewhere in the States, where nobody seems to be left living. It's a situation movie, in which we wait to see from one scene to the other, who and how escapes, so it doesn't make sense to spoil more. Although the idea is cool and unexplored as far as I know, probably that's why I can't help noticing that's a bit far fetched in some places. The rest, acting ok, editing ok, sound ok. The story could've been worked out a bit better, but well... they probably wanted (plenty of) room for a sequel ;)
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
