If you’re a fan of the general idea of A Quiet Place, I highly recommend you see this in theatres. And I say that because I guaran-fucking-tee you by the fifth installment of this franchise, it’ll become the loudest fucking franchise in cinema history.
This film was decent. But instead of showing us how people adapted to living in silence on day one, this film showed us all the fun and unique ways you could mask out loud noises with… other loud noises. Does a character need to scream? Have some thunder! Need a good cry? Raging fire! Do you need to give us some exposition because doing your job of writing or directing is too difficult? Running water! There’s a reason why, in my opinion, the best scene in the movie was the music club scene.
It’s because that was the only scene where they had to actually abide by the rules of the universe. And that’s why you should go see this now. See this before studios decide that, instead of audiences wanting to see a character step on a nail on not be able to scream, we’d rather watch someone get their arm blown off with a convenient explosion nearby so they can scream super duper loud without disrupting the aliens.
