A Quiet Place (2018)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.39:1 90m
Director: John Krasinski
Cast: John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds
Synopsis:
After some unidentified holocaust, a farming family is one of few surviving to escape the predators surrounding them, which are blind but hyper-attuned to sound. Little do they know that their daughter's deafness might hold the key to protecting their own.
Review:
A highly tense thriller that does not outstay its welcome but follows its own simple logic remorselessly, peppering in some well placed shocks. Production and sound design are expertly deployed to shore up the demands of a narrative entirely constructed around location and perception. Staple phobias such as drowning, unprepared childbirth, impalement on a protruding nail and agoraphobia are dependably mined.
