Me and the Missus watched A Quiet Place tonight in our holiday shack.
It's been around years but it's just never appealed. Last night we drew the short straw and watched a terrible Sandra Bullock movie called the Lost City. Tonight we went blockbuster in the hope it turned out well.
It did. The premise is interesting and having to maintain silence makes for a lot of tension.
The monsters are well executed too. All flappy ear holes and long legs. They remind me of small Cloverfields and I enjoyed the nods to War of the Worlds with the alien in the basement.
I see there's a Quiet Place II and just out, A Quiet Place Day One, the tricky prequel.
Have you seen a Quiet Place?
If I recall correctly, I found it a bit dumb - since there are more guns than people in America, I couldn't see why they didn't just shoot the gumbies as they popped up. Maybe there's an explanation in Part II or Day One, but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteIn the film the only gunshot brings dozens of the monsters to that location. Maybe there's too many to shoot? Yep, the sequel and the prequel need watching.
DeleteYes. I wasn't impressed, just like I wasn't by Cloverfield.
ReplyDeleteCloverfield II was my awful Cloverfield. The last ten minutes outside the bunker were the best bit!
