The premise of this movie is beyond idiotic, and as soon as you begin to ask yourself questions (who planted / harvested that corn quietly? why don't they set up a homestead near the noisy waterfall? why don't they have bird bangers or other noisemakers set up to go off at random intervals to disguise the noises they make? How is that baby so incredibly quiet? How is this family of four living on 3 fish a week? How was no one else on Earth able to find the solution to this problem - finding out how to turn their strength into a weakness seems pretty obvious) and on and on... the whole thing becomes so overwhelmingly dumb that it is hard to stay in the theatre. How could these morons be the only people left on Earth? I had not read any reviews before I went and I assumed it would be rated awfully - I could not believe it when I saw all of the positive reviews. If you want to enjoy this one, you will really need to turn your brain off entirely.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't recommend someone watch this over any other film, horror or not. The acting is solid, the premise of the film is ok. The plot and actions are predictable, and only unpredictable when they make no logical sense. The film pacing is amateur. The cgi alien is ok but derivative. The suspension of disbelief is nonexistent. The whole film culminates in the last family in at least their region, maybe the world, just shooting the alien in the face (with a shotgun), after such an long build up, we get that? There was no reason to have the father in the film at all, kill him off early and the tough mum could have carried it to the end. But the whole end was they shoot it? This film would be difficult to watch in a noisy household, the cinema goers laughing (and eating loudly or farting) was bad enough. I was desperately hoping the alien or the whole family stood on the damn nail one by one. Honestly, I wondered if an hour of movie was edited out, and there was a lot more story and a different ending before the final cut. Look out for that version.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. The aliens are blind, possessing extraordinaly sensitive hearing, yet they cannot sense the humans with sonar. Nevertheless, they navigate freely through trees, etc. 2. If humanity wanted to survive, couldn’t they have just sent out protective earmuffs to humanity, some instructions to soundproof their homes, and then ruined the aliens’ hearing with loud noises? Also, apparently a shotgun works. 3. I’m sorry, but after the boy dies in the beginning, there is no way that those parents are having sex in the near future. Yet, they do. Soon, they’re pregnant again. The world seems like a great place to raise a baby, doesn’t it? Stupid/non believable characters abound in this film. 4: The aliens are stupid. I feel sorry for them. The characters could have simply played a game of 'piggy in the middle', throwing sounds back and forth until the aliens ran themselves into a hole and died. 5. The old man in the forest. Just... what? I actually made a metacritic account just to say this movie is terrible. All you people giving this film 10/10... I don’t understand you. I mean, fair enough - we’re all entitled to an opinion, but really? Stop thinking with your wallets and your eyes. This film has no substance or intelligence... suspension of disbelief is impossible (I really wanted to like this film). You people raving about this film being brilliant, please go and watch Ridley Scott's ALIEN or John Carpenter’s THE THING, then see if you stand by your rating. Dan… Expand

This movie is apparently like an IQ test. I'd rather watch the Paris Hilton remake of "House of Wax", or "Jeepers Creepers 2" 10x than sit through this brain-dead POS 1 more time. It forces you to have quiet contemplative moments to reflect on how absolutely retarded its derivative plot devices, and all of its characters are.

Slim Whitman head explosions anyone? JFC!

Where's Vin Diesel when we need him? ...wait, wrong sense. My bad.

Sand? Sand!

Why use a lantern if you have so many lightbulbs? Gotta start fires somehow I guess. That Monopoly money's not gonna burn itself. Oxygen cannister? Butane lighter! Check.

Where'd that peksy baby coffin lid go? Who cares!

Why don't monsters sink in corn? I dunno... Dort dort dort!!!

25 security cameras, 100 jury-rigged hearing aids, 2,000 red lightbulbs, and not a single wired up airhorn? Sure... Why not.

How heavy is sand? How do you harvest corn quietly? If I shout over a HAM radio, and nobody's tuned in, does it make a sound?

Shrug.

Waterfalls! Of course! WATERFALLS!

...and candles! We need MORE candles!!! Kids, follow the sand-trail downtown and GET ME MORE CANDLES!

And more farm-to-table family dinners, more Edison lights, and more g-darn electric lightbulb-lit kerosene lanterns sitting on top of hay stacks.

...and stupid children, we'll need a lot more of those!!!

J F F'ing C this is the best-rated absolutely horrible movie I've ever sat through... Blair Witch Project has been de-throned, and I dread the clones to follow.

The weed at SXSW must have been pretty damn good ... (Psst... I created an account on here just to post this, because it's that bad. I tried not to include spoilers, but the plot is so mind-numbingly bad I think I maybe crypto-spolied it. Whispering is effective.)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never left a review for a movie before but this movie is so bad and for some strange reason has such good reviews that I felt compelled to write one. You have to skip the first 45 minutes if you don't want to fall asleep. After you've wasted 45 minutes of your life your get another 45 minutes of nonsense. A horror movie is supposed to be scary at some point, not this horror classic, maybe there are scary moments but maybe I missed them while yawning. The creatures weakness is sound, and no one in the planet figured that out? I thought of using sound against them 30 seconds into the movie. Having a kid? guess no condoms in post apocalyptic world. People sink in the corno silo but not the monster, guess they have levitation powers. The monster ripped open the silo in seconds but cant tear open the truck, guess he was tired. They drove an old truck down a mountain but those sounds didn't attract the monster, really?????. The sound proof room is suddenly flooded, where is this water coming from? no river or pond close by, guess we have magic water in this movie. And the electricity, the have electric power which we have no idea the source of this power, maybe the have infinity stones o something. These are just a few of the plot holes, too many to list. I tried to enjoy this movie but it was just too too bad.… Expand

The movie is slow. And when i say "slow," I mean very slow. The movie felt like a drag from beginning to end. Being a Michael Bay movie (I didnt know going into it), it lacks entertainment and action, let alone big explosions. The movie is mostly in sign language and the theater was so quiet that I could hear people farting. It might as well have been filmed in black and white. The movie lacked substance, plot, setting and acting was mediocre. Please dont waste your money, you have been WARNED. I would have given it a negative rating if I could.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have just created an account purely to say how bad this film is. I truly cannot understand the positive reviews that I have read from both the film critics and users. Were they watching the same film? Nearly all of the negative reviews that I have read shed some light on this film, I wish I had read them first before even watching it. The whole story and plot seem to be a huge rip off from a novel I have recently read called 'The silence' by Tim Lebbon. I would like to know if he has seen this film and made a review. Firstly, why would you light a fire on top of a grain store? Are they trying to blow themselves up? Why, just why would you even consider having another child in a world where any noise will attract Jimmy Savilles hell demon? I mean come on!! I know, lets attract these claw bearing super efficient killers with the sounds of labour and newborn screaming, then tell your husband to protect the kids. I feel extremely sorry for that guy, I think secretly the actor playing the dad must of realised what a terrible choice he had made taking on this role and begged the writers to kill him off as early as posiible. Sorry my friend but it wasn't early enough, should of stayed with that old man. You could of used him to fake your death and lived happily ever after on your own down by your screaming waterfall.
Also, did anyone happen to notice the fact that whilst poor old daddy is screaming his life away, the kids are rolling down a hill in a bashed up old pickup truck that is somehow completely silent? I agree with another reviewer on here, it's a brilliant film to completely turn off your mind and have excrement injected into it. There are serious plotholes within this film that only lead me to draw one conclusion. The writers and directors of this film were actually the ones lighting the fires in the distance. So when there was no fires nearer the end of the film when the boy and girl had lit theirs. It was because the writers and directors had blown up on top of the grain stores they were lighting fires on earlier on in the film. From here on in the old man took over the writing and he commited suicide, this followed by the dad taking over and committing suicide, finally once everybody had lost their sanity they decided to just actually shoot one of the creatures and hey presto the creature died and so should of this damn movie!… Expand

but there's so much stupidity in this movi, that makes you want the monsters to win and kill all stupid humans

for example: doesn't anybody know about isolating panels?

you know the world is full of blind super monsters that kill you hearing the lighter sound, and you live in an open wood cracking house alone in the country?

maybe humanity needs these kind of movies to reflect on our own stupidity… Expand

The critics must have been paid off, this is a total waste of time and I'd recommend that anyone who actually enjoyed this movie or was genuinely scared should hold their wife's boyfriend's hand next time they watch it. Not scary. Not intriguing. Filled with comedically fragile and moronic protagonists, with whom the viewer has no emotional attachments, due to zero character development or backstory. Thousands of logic and plot holes. LITERALLY the worst thing I've ever watched. John Krasinski, I award you ZERO points and may god have mercy on your soul.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Praise from the critics, 8.2 on IMDb, did I watch the correct movie?

A Quiet Place is one of the dumbest and most boring flicks I have ever seen. For a movie that positions itself as a horror title it has zero suspense and scary moments. The only scary thing about is is how people seem to praise it despite it being unoriginal dull garbage.

With the premise being "humans are hunted by blind monsters that react to loud noises", this basically becomes "Screamer, the movie", as this is the only trick that Krasinski offers - everything is silent, and sharp noises occur occasionally.

There is no plot in a Quiet Place. A moronic family just goes about their business and cannot muster some sort of a sound-proof room to be able to talk in, instead they use the sign language and go to a waterfall to scream. Yeah, I didn't make that up, the writers did. They do have a basement which they cover with a mattress and it seems to help, but for whatever reason they don't do it regularly. Also, in the beginning act the parents lose their youngest child whom they failed to teach properly that if he makes sounds he will die. What do they do after his death? Well they go ahead and make a new one! And then they put the baby in a coffin to muffle its cooing!

What else is there? Krasinski, apparently, has a foot fetish, as shots of naked feet occur every 5 minutes or so. The mute plump girl needs 3 damn occasions to understand that her hearing aid drives the monsters back. The film lasts an hour and a half, but most of the scenes are either too long or unnecessary at all. (Like with the old man in the woods.) The family survives for around a year, yet the father still can't properly hunt fish, he just grabs it with bare hands and it slips away, genius. The monsters are described as "indestructible" in the newspapers, yet they die from a single shotgun headshot. This is just what I remember off the bat, a Quiet Place offers even more idiotic character actions and dull predictable scenes.

Apparently this is John Krasinski's directorial debut. Well, at least he shouldn't have trouble improving on himself later with the bar set so low.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Are you people on drugs? Calling this the best HORROR movie of the decade?? Even calling it a horror movie is pushing it too far. Do you know what horror even means? There is nothing horrific in this movie. We can call it thriller, suspense but nowhere near horror. There are also many stupid things about this movie that just kill the entertainment. Why did the girl give the toy to the child? She wanted to kill him indirectly? Stupid. Why don't they live near a waterfall or a river to mask the sounds? Stupid. Why didn't they build a deaf chamber where they can talk freely? Stupid.
It was an ok movie at best. I don't understand the hype. It's not that good. I'm disappointed in this movie and I wouldn't recommend it or watch it again. It seemed like a waste of time. Not interesting. Therefore I will give it a low score to balance those hyped and just plain wrong ratings.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this is a tough review, but I'll try to lay out why I've given it a low score (which is clearly not something most will agree with). Plot: The plot was the reason I wanted to see the movie in theaters. I heard great things, and I saw the memes about people being quiet in the theater, and surprisingly there were plenty of moments where you could make at least some noise to get comfortable or breath easily, like when music played or they were in a loud place. So the plot was fantastic, make the audience FEEL what it would be to be in the world through the silence. however...

Silence: This doesn't make a comfortable viewing experience. I wish the movie theater had spaced the chairs out, and given everyone headphones because holy crap was I uncomfortable with the silences and you could tell so was everyone else. If you see this movie, THE CHAIRS YOU SIT IN WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT. I spent more time focused on how uncomfortable I was than on the movie itself (I'll try not to rate the movie on that but it's partly the movies fault for well, being that good at bringing you into the world. There were moments where I couldn't breath, not because of the movie being scary or whatever, but because I didn't want to be an **** and ruin the experience for other people. So while im starving myself of air, all i can feel is the uncomfortable chair, and all i can hear is the **** munching popcorn loudly as **** behind me.

The trailer: If you saw the trailer, you saw the movie. There are only two other developments other than that: the father dying, and the hearing aid he fixed for his daughter being the secret weapon vs the monsters. That's basically it, the trailer sets you up for wondering if the mother will be killed along with her baby during the birth, but the solution to that was so easy. Emotional connection: I only felt connected to the mother who clearly cares for her children and husband, and does everything to protect them, to the father who sacrifices himself and has to basically fix every little mistake the kids make, and that's it.

DEAF **** Seriously, even in the post apocalyptic world where you literally have to be quiet or be eviscerated by a monster, this **** managed to get both her little brother killed and her father, through rebellious teenage angst. I have never read a story about some teenager in the roman empire rebelling against their father and idk, ending up getting them killed. I have never heard of a teenager in the UK during ww2 bombing rebelling against their father as the bombs dropped on their heads, getting their father killed. I have never heard of a kid, knowing full and well it is a life and death situation, being ****ing angsty, and rebelling against their parents, and getting them killed. So why the **** does this kid disobey her parents again and again and again and again and then finally gets them killed? She's a sociopath, a narcissist, doesn't care about anyone else but herself. I could not understand why they wrote her character this way, and it really ruined the movie for me. We're supposed to identify with her angst but holy **** what a ****ing **** If I had managed to get my father and brother killed, I would drown myself. She actually doesn't even seem to give a **** that her father loves her, or that he's hurting from the sons death, she only cares about her own feelings, and that's what ends up getting her father killed. What a selfish **** So I'm giving this movie a 3 for making me hate the outcome, really the wrong person died

Truth is, without the saving plot device of the hearing aid, this entire family would be killed so quickly without the father. He saves them over and over and over, there is absolutely no way they survive after his death.

Truth is the deaf girl should have died in the cornfield, should have died in the grain (as should he brother, and it was her fault) and should have died in the car, and then should have died in the house. Must be nice to have plot armor though… Expand

One of the dumbest movies ever, didn't scare or make me suspend my disbelief for a second. THAT's unforgivable. Can't understand how critics and/or regular movie goers gave this a pass. Amateur hour for John K. as director. Film school fare. I didn't give it zero as it at least has a concept & a few mildly entertaining moments. But this is manipulative drivel. How can I make you jump nonsense. No spoilers, but there is no way modern military weapons wouldn't be able to handle this. These monsters are so easy to bait & they're just flesh & blood. In the end, ordinary stuff you have in your house is good enough to fix the problem. And as sound is their weakness, surely some science dude would have figured out a way to deal with this through sound waves...and that's just the start of my rant! Monsters with hearing this keen could hear anything, a heartbeat, breathing etc. And yet, somehow human survivors live on a farm with fields of corn? How were those planted soundlessly? Does the director have any concept of what it takes to plant a big field of corn? And were does the electricity come from for all the other gizmos these folks have? Modern technology in abundance (oxygen tanks, surveillance etc.) but the guy has to make a fishing trap with twigs? They have running water but never go into the bathroom to run a shower so they can talk?
I can put all those plot holes aside & still rant! The worst is that there is a big hazard on the stairs that no one notices ...? But even after someone does notice, no one does anything about it! These people are unsympathetic morons! Get a pair of pliers, or cover it with a coffee cup, anything to fix it! Then when the daughter goes off into a world filled with monsters, the mother doesn't even notice until many hours later ... then, indifferently wonders, where is that kid? She barely reacts. Geesh! Emily Blunt's acting is atrocious but the melodramatic situations demand her blood, sweat & tears. She just chews up the scenery -- the kids aren't any better. Grrr, I should give this zero, but I didn't walk out...… Expand

I went into the movie with modest expectation due to the rotten tomato score, and left pretty confused. The beginning of the movie hooked me since I liked seeing the post-apocalyptic atmosphere, but from there it slowly became less interesting. Most people criticize the plot and unrealistic actions, but I didn't really mind. I was only bothered by the lack of story and development, or rather how it wasn't scary to me at all. With a slow story and lots of predictability, it felt like there wasn't much to pay attention to on screen other than the alien. There wasn't any build up or goal throughout the movie, and if there was, it wasn't resolved or made clear. The acting and sound was obviously great, but with editing aside, this movie is really only successful in it's portrayal of a silent world.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is no doubt that Krasinsky can direct but this film was laughable at its very premise and that's a fatal flaw that it never recovered from for me and my girlfriend, who chortled through the whole movie. While the acting and direction were quite good and the writing was clever, in its mechanics and use of devices, the basic conceit of the film is too much of an obstacle and it is betrayed by the ending in a massive way. If these creatures are so indestructible, how come a lady who just gave birth and has a nail wound in her foot can destroy one with a single shotgun shell? How can a ten year old figure out that the Achilles heel of the species is that their hearing is so sensitive they can be defeated with feedback? Our armed forces have been using sonic weaponry for years and no one but this girl could have figured out that the greatest threat to mankind could be defeated with an annoying high pitched noise? A National Guard troop could not clear an area of these things inside of a week with just the guns and ammo they have in a supply wherehouse? It was completely preposterous. While Rod Serling could have made a horribly flawed premise like this work for a half an hour without much of a problem, it would not have been a very good episode by "Twilight Zone" standards. So, while Krasinsky did an admirable job directing, the acting was stellar and the writers were mechanically clever, the basic premise of the film simply doesn't survive the suspension of disbelief test.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a great example of modern Hollywood. The base idea for this story is nothing new or special. But they use a gimmick to create an entire movie. They milk this gimmick for an entire hour before they start to slack off. Had they done the entire movie without speaking it may have been interesting just for that gimmick alone. As it is they decide that they have to tell you stuff instead of showing it to you. In a movie where they can't talk...

But lets get to the meat of this argument. The movie was written and directed without any critical thinking. To the point where their story concepts were strung together half haphazardly, and no thought was given to their repercussion and how it would obviously affect the narrative. The monster is unintelligent and constantly makes clicking sounds. This strongly implies that it uses echo location. I don't care if the writers, directors, or producers all say that they don't have echo location. They demonstrated it as being a characteristic of the monster. But their story completely ignores it and even implies that the creatures don't have any echo location. They repeatedly show a newspaper clipping that shows a soldier at point blank range with a monster. The clipping has a headline saying that they are invulnerable. But a shotgun blast at close range can kill them in one hit. This is stupid. The monster is now just stupid. But my family says that the ultra sonic sounds weakened them first! We already use ultra sonic weapons now!

All of the characters made stupid choices in silly and convoluted situations. No one responsible ever stopped to think about how to create a situation that fostered a suspension of disbelief. It was obvious that they didn't bother to think about how a situation could plausibly occur that would allow them to include story elements that they used. The entire movie suffered for it. This was a movie all about cheap jump scares with little else to tie them together. It wasn't scary, the monster wasn't frightening, and the situation was a joke. There were some neat ideas and the gimmick could have been interesting. Instead they wasted some good actors with mediocre writing.… Expand

Whoever manufactured this film should do us all a favor and spend the rest of their careers shooting slapstick comedies. (It comes as no surprise that these very same people are responsible for such things as Mutant Ninja Turtles,Whoever manufactured this film should do us all a favor and spend the rest of their careers shooting slapstick comedies. (It comes as no surprise that these very same people are responsible for such things as Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and the like.) Virtually every scene is marred by some form of idiocy. Here are a few I'd like to point out:

The characters in this film are not people who would survive the "monster apocalypse" for more than a week. They’re far too careless in watching over their kids and far too inconsistent about the details of survival they choose to notice, much less deal with.

There's a nail in the middle of a step on the basement stairs. How did it get there? How long has it been there? How does a laundry bag turn this into a hazard? Try pulling a nail halfway out of a 2x4 with a strip of handkerchief, or burlap, and see how that goes.

I personally stepped on a nail as a young kid. It hardly hurt at all. But by the reaction of the wife you'd think she had a leg amputated. OK, pregnant women ARE more sensitive to pain but give me a break.

If they go so far as to put marks on the floor of the house to show where it's safe to walk, (presumably where the floorboards don't creak), why do they leave pictures and paintings on the walls that could be knocked down, making noise, and attracting monsters?

Dad and son walking after dark with no lights. The youngest son had batteries for a toy rocket so why no batteries for flashlights? And later in the film everybody suddenly has working flashlights. Very convenient.

Why no sound-proof room? Dad is an engineer, right?

Wife is about to give birth. They had at least 9 months to prepare (and we know that because the opening scenes tell us it's over a year since the monsters arrived) but still no sound-proof room. Wife is supposed to be an MD so you would think that planning ahead would come naturally.

Crying baby. Sound insulation: an old mattress over the top of the stairs. OK, well, in the room under the mattress they put the baby in a wooden box to contain baby's crying. Use oxygen line so baby doesn't suffocate. Then, for some reason, when a monster shows up, the baby's box lid is off. (Apparently no one responsible for this film ever heard of aboriginal peoples pinching the noses' of babies to stop them crying.) I'm still curious as to where they're going to find enough oxygen to keep baby in a box for a year or two till it learns to keep quiet.

Electricity for lights and radios is coming from where? It's not from the local power plant because when the plant operators disappear in any kind of apocalypse the plant will automatically shut down within an hour or two because no operator inputs. Trust me, that's how power plants work.

A basement room starts filling with water. No idea where the water is coming from.

Family appears to have a big field full of growing corn. Don't see any other natural source of food anywhere. Reminds me of the old-time trappers along the Hudson. Had nothing to eat all winter but rabbits. Died of malnutrition.

Why are there kids in the film? Because kids can always be replied upon to do exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time. Yes, it's a kid who apparently saves the day in the end, but by that point I was long past caring.

People will say, hey, it's just some horror flick. Turn off your brain and enjoy. My problem is turning off my brain doesn't help when the idiocies are this rampant.

[Initially, I was going to give this film a 5 or 6, but as I wrote the review I got so irritated that a 3 was the best I could do. And I'm being generous.]… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is ridiculous. There is no logic. It makes no sense. Peoples reactions are totally unrealistic. It feels like it has been made by some ultra-conservative pro-life fanboys. The story: Weird alien creatures roam the planet and eat people. But they are blind and can only orient by sound, which they can detect from far away. However they can not hear you breath or can not hear your heartbeat even if they are like right next to you. Also they have extremely sensitive hearing, but no-one in the world has figured out that one can distract them by noises. Only a deaf girl eventually figures it out, by accident and only at the end of the movie. The previous like two or so times the aliens got scared of her (of her loud hearing aid) she did not make the connection! How stupid does one need to be. It makes no sense. Then the whole thing with trying to save the stupid baby and risking everyone else's life in the process. Then the dad sacrificing his own life for no good reason is another stupid part (why not just run away at least, let the alien follow you). But he just stands there and screams until it eats him.

So near the waterfall they can't hear you, so why not put f-ing loudspeakers outside your house playing some birdsongs or whatever or water sound? Why not go to a house with stronger doors? Why everyone is dead, if you can simply shoot the aliens with a shotgun? It is not like in "alien" where the aliens are actually hard to kill. No. They are easy to kill. Just people give up before they try.......… Expand

Downing a drink every time there was a bit of clumsy foreshadowing was a laugh. Otherwise, very poor.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give the film a 2/10 namely because it was an interesting concept. Back in the eighties, Hollywood dabbled in films that were unique and driven by a fascinating take/premise on a given subject. So when I first heard about this film, I was intrigued and being a fan of suspense, of Alien and Aliens, I was curious while at the same time skeptical. I tend to find over-praised films suspicious. A Quiet Place has only the unique concept going for it. Beyond that, I found the story boring and lacking in any sense. As soon as I started to watch it, I began to shake my head. These creatures are attracted to sound and here we have a little boy running around an abandoned grocery store. Okay. He is bare foot but god, these parents are idiots. The movie is using this character only for the sake of exposition. Why would a scene like this exist otherwise? We need to set up the situation. Fine but if this was a realistic situation, these parents wouldn't need to explain that something was too loud when his toy is taken form him. In fact, I would be very certain such parents would use punitive measurements to stifle the childlike element of play in a raucous and irresponsible kid. Yet the movie must movie on. Yet after he is lectured, his sister, behind their parents' back hands him the toy. Great. Okay. And the boy has to have the batteries which are in reach and from there on, I knew what was going to happen. You don't have to watch too many movies to predict the results of all this. Again, I admire the film's premise but it leaves me with too many questions. For one, why not create a soundproof house? How can the creatures blindly navigate through forests? Do they use sonar and if so, why can't they use this to find their food/prey? And if they are not present near waterfalls, wouldn't it work out that emulating the sound of a waterfall be helpful in protecting one's family? There are other questions but these are only my handful that bothered me. Otherwise, I couldn't finish the film. After what must have been the shortest baby-birthing moment in history, the night of suspense continues on for this family. There is a tap left on. There is flood into the sound proof room. There is a nail in a place where a nail shouldn't be. The screenplay needs to happen but the lack of plausibility was getting on my nerves and I switched it off. I would avoid this one unless turning off your brain is easily done.

Again, a fascinating premise but nothing beyond it. Other than the regret and guilt and sorrow hanging over the loss of idiot boy who had to have his toy, you know little about these characters. They have no other motivations other than survive but even in Alien, the group of space riggers had distinct personalities or backgrounds. Who were these people before the invasion? You never get to find out. Frustrating and bland at the same time. Pass.… Expand

There were some illogical parts and lack of explanations. Poor plot and screenplay with so many unnecessary fillings and no grabbing beginning. Also slow motion all the way was simply annoying. I liked the cgi and directing though. Visually 'A quiet place' is top notch, but that's all.… Expand

I feel like I would have enjoyed this movie a lot more if I could actually hear what was going on! No joke, the movie theatre I was at kept randomly muting the movie throughout the whole thing. I could not hear any of the dialogue! Did theI feel like I would have enjoyed this movie a lot more if I could actually hear what was going on!

Yes, Cinema is image, not sound. Thank you for reminding us, Mr. Krasinski. But you could have gone further: Eliminate all the clichés of 1- stupid kid who doesn't listen, 2- rebellious teenager a la breakfast club, 3- ludicrous potholes andYes, Cinema is image, not sound. Thank you for reminding us, Mr. Krasinski. But you could have gone further: Eliminate all the clichés of 1- stupid kid who doesn't listen, 2- rebellious teenager a la breakfast club, 3- ludicrous potholes and convenient hail mary's.
At the end you just proved something: All these survival of the Apocalypse shows are inherently dull because to survive is to be boring.
The only one that got it right was "on the road" with Viggo Mortensen. It made us really consider the end of our civilisation as a metaphor for the 2007 crisis and death of the American middle class.… Expand

What a waste of time. How can someone possibly like this empty,unfinished,boring junk!? Had high expectations because of all the positive reviews, but now i think its one of the most overrated movies i've ever seen.

Cinematography, acting and soundtracks are good. but there's a lot of problems with this movie and plot. they tried to show us some intelligence and genius survival tricks that characters did, and they're all so stupid and not necessary. forCinematography, acting and soundtracks are good. but there's a lot of problems with this movie and plot. they tried to show us some intelligence and genius survival tricks that characters did, and they're all so stupid and not necessary. for example they showed us that you can yell out-loud near constant sounds like near the Waterfalls; so why they didn't build their nest near a waterfall? also they walked bare-foot all the time while they can fix shoes noise problem by simple fabric or towel under their shoes!… Expand

The film is certainly worthwhile but Emily Blunt is a poor choice for most films.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sadly, a Quiet Place is cliché, almost cringeworthy at times, with a plot that does not compel and an ending that does not engage. Within 10 minutes, after the initial scene in the store, I was taken out of the film: I cannot believe in an Alien invasion-apocalypse-thing that someone would leave their child behind in the store. An Alien invasion conveyed to us through newspaper clippings stuck to a board. I never particularly felt tense or scared throughout the runtime, and the concept leaves a million plotholes or ideas in the viewer's mind. However, the film is beautifully crafted and the scene with the fireworks is incredibly well done. But this section is just a beautiful needle in a very uninteresting haystack. By the end, you will still have no idea what the laws of the world actually are!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The basic premise of this movie is so illogical and the solution to the problem so simple that it defies the suspension of disbelief. The monsters can't tolerate certain frequencies of sound and as we find out in the end their heads can be blown of with a shotgun. so what's the problem? Maybe their heads can only be blown off in the last five minutes of the movie, because its always nice to have a feel good "blow it away" moment to end on. But really no! this is just bad writing. Very bad writing. The kind of writing where you go for some dramatic moment or moments but fail to create a logical consistent reason or set of circumstances why that moment should happen. The result of that is those the dramatic moments become rather silly. The moment that your solution to defeating the monster race that plunged the world into post apocalyptic chaos is so simple that any kid with half brain can come up with it.That's just sooooo bad. Writers shame on you.… Expand
