A Quiet Place (2018)

I’ve been waiting to see this movie for a long, long time, and after seeing it, I’m also excited to review it! If you haven’t seen, A Quiet Place had a huge opening weekend, which makes it the latest in a trend I really enjoy: wide release horror films doing well in theaters.

The premise is a simple, but effective one: a family is trying to survive in a world where society no longer exists, where everything that makes a sound is hunted by devastatingly fatal predators. The family has developed a system to survive, to stay quiet and prevent the creatures from noticing them. But sometimes, regardless of planning, things go wrong.

In a world where any noise is dangerous because it could draw the attention of creatures who hunt through sound, this film does a fantastic job using silence to draw out tension. While watching, you find yourself holding your breath, stilling your movements, hyper aware of every noise you make and every noise the characters on the screen make. There’s not really much reprieve, because even in the relaxed moments, the family is still being careful to be quiet, and the slightest noise can ruin an easygoing atmosphere. 

And again, the film does this masterfully. I haven’t been this tense watching a movie in a long time, and it’s really nonstop. There’s no moment in the film where you’re not aware that any noise could be dangerous, just like there’s no moment in their lives where the characters are not aware. It makes for a really immersive experience.

But, the tension created through silence, sound, and the ever present threat of the creatures, as effective as it is, is only a backdrop for a story that is about a family, and about their relationship with each other. This is where the movie goes from an effective monster movie to a story that draws you in and attaches itself to you.

While the entire family has prominent roles, the main character is arguably the oldest daughter, a teenager, who is deaf and whose relationship with her father is strained. Tension within the family is centered around their relationship, which is critical to building the characters and the connections to them. You understand her insecurities, you understand his feelings when he works on repairing her cochlear implant, you understand how the rest of the family feels when they speak alone about the father and daughter.

You like the characters, you understand them, and you root for them during dangerous moments. Not only are you drawn in by the way the film uses sounds, but you’re also invested in each individual on screen.

Overall: 10/10. This was a truly engrossing movie, which pulls you into the story to experience it in a visceral way through silence and a perfect soundtrack, and through the connections it builds between the characters on screen. The best kinds of horror films aren’t ones you watch, but ones you experience, and A Quiet Place makes sure that you experience the story.
