A Quite Place is the story of a family that is trying to survive an alien invasion that has wiped out the majority of the human population. Set in 2020, the aliens hunt by sound so it makes for an eerily quiet film.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, real life husband and wife, play parents who are doing everything in their power to protect their family. Both he and Emily Blunt did a fantastic job, with very little dialogue, portraying a wide range of emotions. It was quite captivating.
The move was promoted as a horror film but I wouldn’t really call it a typical horror film. I would say that it’s a well-made suspenseful drama. From the beginning of the film all the way until the end you are on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next.
John Krasinski wrote, directed and starred in this movie which is no easy feat. This movie had a creative premise, a well written script, and above all else compelling acting from everyone involved.
The only thing that this movie was missing was a more satisfying ending. I felt like the film was cut short, it was only an hour and 35 minutes. I left wanting a bit more. I think if they extended it about 20 minutes, it could have been even better. With that said, however, I still think it was a really great movie.
