A Quiet Place (2018)
A Quiet Place is an often nerve shredding affair, building suspense off the brilliant silence of the sound design. Marco Beltrami's score often intrudes in the most obvious progression of notes to hit a horror film, but the quiet moments in between much of the horror is intriguing in itself.

I rarely write a review, but when I saw the negative reviews claiming the positive reviews must be bots I felt it was time. Yes, there is a lot of sub-titling. The folks often had to be silent. How else are you going to convey what's going on? Do the complainers never see a foreign language film?
Granted, we don't know why the creatures are there, but is that necessary for the story? I didn't walk away unsatisfied without that answer. It really didn't seem to be that important. This was a story about a family's struggle to survive in circumstances very few would make it through.
The tension in this movie was incredible. I felt a kinship with the family I don't often feel. I see 30-40 movies a year. This was one of the best I've seen in a few months. I'll be going to see it again.
