A QUIET PLACE (Theatrical Release USA 2019)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

A Quiet Place surpasses the entertainment quality of The Silence movie due to the casting of John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe; increased storyline; and acting skill. Although it is not as exciting as what may be expected, the drama heightens to create its own type of suspense. This movie creates caring whether the Abbott family will live through each new threatening situation (such as the memorable scene where the Old Man in the Woods (Leon Russom) screams in agony when he finds his dead wife and Lee Abbott (John Krasinski) grabs Marcus Abbott (Noah Jupe) to run and hide behind a tree as the Old Man in the Woods is 'taken out' by the sound seeking alien. This becomes one of many suspense-filled scenes that play with unique intensity. What a great concept for a movie. A sequel movie is scheduled for release 20^th of March 2020.
