It's basically a wannabe M Night Shyamalan movie but worse in every aspect. If A Quiet Place was actually directed by M Night Shyamalan (which it would have probably ended up being better tbh) people would say it's his second worst movie right behind the Last Airbender.

Agreed. The idea that a woman has to give birth in a setting without making a peep or risk dying instantly is pretty bottom tier writing for a horror film.

Not as bad as the short film based off a Stephen King novella called "The Tall Grass"

The shock scene came in the form of a pregnant woman giving birth and eating the baby live

Yeah Quiet Place was garbage. I thought the first five minutes were interesting, then it just went downhill pretty damned fast. I have a really hard time believing that in the entire time these things were taking over the planet there was not a single time where there was some annoying ass high pitched radio signal or feedback from a microphone that would cause the kind of pain they discover at the end. Just ... feel like it wouldn't happen.

It's basically Signs with sound. Like people always say why the fuck would aliens come to a planet that's 71% water? but not why would aliens come to a planet that has constant high frequency sound waves at all times everywhere

The aliens don't seem to be sentient and arrived as/on meteors.

Also there is not much in the way of religious themes.

The aliens in Signs are very clearly demons, complete with weakness to holy water. It's still shit but it makes more sense.

A Quiet Place is pretty overrated, but I think its still good. A dumb post apocalyptic alien movie requires some decent suspension of disbelief and plot contrivances. If you don't like that you really need to find a new genre.

tbf, the movie had an excuse for that, that's why they had all the fireworks.

There's no way that baby stays quiet long enough to not immediately be murdered though. That's prob why the movie ends about 4 hours after the baby is born.

^^^ Your point was my biggest break in immersion. Isn't the first sign of a healthy baby is that it's lungs are functioning correctly and that it has a clear esophagus?

The premise is definitely stupid because they know they can go to the waterfall and be safe, so you think they would just generate constant noise around the house. That said a lot of horror movies have dumb premises and the film had some fun scenes.

Didn't see the sequel I guess.

So does The Happening, Last Airbender, Lady in the Water, After Earth, The Visit, and The Village. Didn't see Old, don't plan to, looks on the same tier of quality and I heard the source material was lame to begin with.

Or a bell: throw it

Or a radio on top of a tower of some sort and they go nuts trying to climb it.

Or get by the fucking ocean: it makes a decent amount of sound.

Or a chainsaw and see if they get hurt on it.

Or a woodchipper. Or throw grenades.

It would be if it didn't work.

But everything in the movie works. Also, it doesn't really have a twist, good or bad, so no Shamylan here.

Humans are never shown to be able to outrun them. They can sometimes dodge them, and sometimes run somewhere safe, but they can't run faster.

I thought it was a fun movie. As someone said you kinda have to suspend your disbelief when it comes to horror movies because characters making bad choices is kind of a staple in them. And using CinemaSins as an example of poor writing is kinda silly since they generally nitpick the smallest things for entertainment value.

At the very least all these movies are infinitely better than that stupid Bird Box one from shortly after
Birdbox predates A Quiet Place though

But I actually think A Quiet Place is a bit better than even the book

Holy shit I still can't believe how bad Birdbox was, unbelievable how often the film changes the rules of its entities and makes up brand new crappy rules to suit the plot.
