A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place Movie

Yesterday I watched this horror movie and thought to share my opinion.

In summary, this movie shows a family dealing with scary creatures who respond to sound by attacking and killing its source. The movie shows strong family ties. It demonstrates the family values. Parents take care of their children all the time and in all situations. They love them, instill courage, and hope in their children and prepare them for future, in spite of the dangerous situation. Near the end, the father gives up his life voluntarily, to save his children. Emily Blunt plays the role of a mother and wife. She loves her family and shows a lot of courage at scary moments. The acting of all characters is very powerful. It kept me engaged until the end. Lot of it is self-explanatory. It is kind of a silent movie.

Some weak points of the movie are:

  1. The beginning is very abrupt. It starts with day 89. It does not give any indication of how and from where the scary creatures came. Maybe this is suspense too.

  2. It seems that the scary creature is a copy of Stranger Things creature.

  3. The misunderstanding between daughter and father stays until the very end.

  4. The scary creature is big and walks slowly but when it hears the sound, it almost flies and attacks the source of the sound. It responds to sound of firecrackers, vehicle, and objects falling down but not to sound of water, wind, walking etc.

  5. Family stays in horrific surroundings for more than a year but does not move out of the area. They had the option to walk out from that area either on foot or via boat. It is obvious that this was the only area affected as father was trying to give signals to other areas and countries.

  6. They decide to have another child in this ghastly situation.
