I cannot imagine there being a more suspenseful film this year than “A Quiet Place.” While it's being promoted as a scary film it's more of an edge-of-your-seat thriller, in my opinion. The story, acting, scares, moments of suspense and more all combine for a great, original film. Kudos to John Krasinski for coming up with a great story and doing a fantastic job of directing it.
What I love about this film is that from the beginning you're set right in the midst of the conditions of the time and don't have to sit through a ‘setup’ or long explanation of why the earth is like it is. You're immediately drawn into the family’s living situation and you adjust to it as if you're living it with them. The opening sequence is excruciating as you expect what happens to happen but then again you hope with all your might that it won’t. It's also ironic that the real hero of the film ends up being the deaf daughter, considering she's in a world where people who can hear have to be quiet on purpose.
All of the actors did a great job and deserve accolades. Needless to say, I jumped quite a few times during the film and it made for a fun movie going experience.
