This movies take places at the earth in the recent future, mankind had been decimated by an unknown creatures that are attracted to sound and attack anything that makes noise. The story put the focus on The Abbott family, engineer father named Lee (John Krasinski), his doctor wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and their kids, the deaf Regan (Millicent Simmonds), asthmatic Marcus (Noah Jupe) and playful Beau (Cade Woodward). They had so far survived the carnage around them by built a stronghold filled with stored food, surveillance cameras, warning lights, and basically living in silence. Things got even harder when the pregnant Evelyn was about to give birth to their next child, they need all their wits and ability to live another day.
A Quiet Place really good at crafting the horror over silence, it building tension over the absent of voice. It successfully make viewers paying attention to every available sound. While in most cases the sound is in the service to the onscreen action, the genius of this nerve-shredding thriller is that it takes centre stage. Each audible breath, each creak, adds a needle stab of anxiety to the story.
The film has a beautiful sense of geography, almost all of it taking place on a farm that Krasinski and his technical team lay out in a way that allows us to feel like we know it. This is not one of those films that mistakes shaky camerawork for horror storytelling. It’s got a refined visual language that plays beautifully with perspective and the terrifying nature of a world in which we can’t yell to warn/find people or, in the case of the deaf daughter, hear what’s coming.
Althought is considered as a horror thriller movie, but John Krasinski insist that it’s actually a family movie, and I do agree.In my opinion the biggest traits in this movie isn’t the horror aspect, but the emotional bonds between each characters that make it special. The film is more about survival and parenthood. It’s a film about empowerment more than sheltering, and it’s emotional hook that really elevates the final act.
