Part B-movie creature feature, part familial chamber piece, A Quiet Place is a gleeful combo platter of horror tropes that manages to coalesce into something that's both derivative and yet undeniably unique.
Directed by and starring John Krasinski (in his third foray behind the camera), alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt, it's a film that's seething with parental anxieties and adolescent rage -- take out the monsters and the film could be a credible domestic drama about the damage that can be caused when families don't communicate.
Our story begins 78 days after some unexplained catastrophe has reduced America (and perhaps the entire world) to a post-apocalyptic ghost town, in which the few survivors live in self-enforced silence, lest they attract the attention of hideous, near-indestructible beasts who are completely blind but enticed by sound. Krasinski and Blunt's characters are perhaps better equipped to deal with this new status quo than most, since one of their kids is deaf (played by deaf actress Millicent Simmonds, who's utterly riveting), meaning that the family is already accustomed to using sign language. To say much more would be to spoil the film's many delights, but it's probably safe to assume that things escalate quickly, and while there are moments of levity to help release some of the audience's jitters, this is a film that's determined to get a reaction out of you, and proves very skilled at doing so.
