A QUIET PLACE
Watchable. What a load of rubbish! It got blood rushing in my veins so the adrenaline rush kept me watching. The music's interesting, e.g. a foetus's heartbeat sounding like techno or the "Inception" motif. But the premise of a place where you have to keep quiet so that a monster can't hear you is nothing new. Here it just gets expanded to the whole world being under a siege of blood-thirsty, blind, Alien-looking creatures. It makes no sense to give birth under such circumstances. After all babies always cry and scream which would put theirs and the family's life in danger. At least this part of the plot can be explained by the woman's previous loss of a son. The same with the old man cracking under pressure and screaming in order to end his suffering - the character appears out of the blue and only serves as an example of a different psychologic reaction. Monsters soon start showing up, even in water when the house, inexplicably, gets flooded. And the movie's about one family's survival, just like so many other horrors before.
