A Quiet Place

Post by Bianka Walter »

So, has anyone watched this movie? I have had it for the last few weeks and I'm trying to get the courage to watch it. The trailer alone gave me a bit of a twitch.
My question is, is it worth it?
During the day, obviously, with LOADS of people around.

I know this doesn't have much to do with books, but I'm a big fan of horror books and know they will make me sit up in the darkness of my room at night. This is why I steer clear of horror films, but I have heard such great things about this one...

Yes? No?
Am I nuts?

The movie itself isn't necessarily scary, however I do love horror movies, but certain sections may be unsettling to you if you don't particularly like horror movies. The movie wasn't actually that good, the trailer made it seem much better than it actually was in my opinion

The scenes in the movie weren't really much of the typical horrendous, hair-raising and frightful horror film you usually watch. The trailer gives you that touch of excitement and thrill, but the movie itself is more of a nerve-racking and intensely remarkable film like no other.

In my opinion, A Quiet Place is a must-watch movie and wickedly spine-chilling one. If you're up for a movie that's averagely horrifying and dreadful, then I recommend you get yourself a copy of this right now. If love you A splash of galvanization and a dash of titillation, then this is the perfect movie for you!

A Quiet Place is very thrilling movie for me. Lots of emotion was released because what on earth is happening! At the end of the movie, my heart just broke into pieces and then was put back together again! I can’t say why, you should go see it because it’s definitely worth it.

It's amazing how much the movie can tell a story without a lot of talking. It portrays family love and yet at the same time a very thrilling movie. It's got a sad ending though. I cried. Really worth to watch it.

For me, it is a very good movie and has a story to tell. I actually love it that you hear each tiny noises the characters make. It is meticulously made and I appreciate the effort made by the cast. It's a job well done. 😊

I really want to see this movie myself.Based on the previews I saw, I liked how the movie is based on how silence can be scary, usually the scary character always has music or some evil line & I like how they didn’t need to for this movie!

I went to see this in theaters. I had a friend who was in Deaf Studies and she was excited to see the main character who was deaf. It was a great movie! I loved the concept behind the monsters and how sound attracted them.
