Movie Reviews
Reviews:
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "John Krasinski’s A QUIET PLACE is a nerve-shredder. It’s a movie designed to make you an active participant in a game of tension, not just a passive observer in an unfolding horror." - 03/10/2018 RogerEbert.com
4 stars out of 5 -- "Krasinski has a longer CV as an actor than as director...but establishes himself here as a sure hand with the mechanics of nerve-shredding." - 03/17/2018 Empire
"A terrifying thriller with a surprisingly warm heart, John Krasinski's A QUIET PLACE is a monster-movie allegory for parenting in a world gone very, very wrong." - 03/09/2018 Hollywood Reporter
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[A] dazzling, devilishly clever horror film that goes beyond scares to the intangibles that define us." - 04/03/2018 Rolling Stone
"A QUIET PLACE is brisk, but it’s also patient; this is one of those monster movies that builds tension from the absence of the monster, at least until the full-bore, unbroken set-piece of the second half..." -- Grade: B+ - 04/03/2018 A.V. Club
"A QUIET PLACE is an old-fashioned creature feature with a single, simple hook: The creatures are blind, hungry and navigate by sound....Mr. Krasinski directs with skill and restraint." - 04/04/2018 New York Times
"A creeping, increasingly queasy sense of dread pervades A QUIET PLACE, John Krasinski’s nervy thriller that marks a notable addition to the recent spate of smart, timely genre pictures." - 04/05/2018 Washington Post
"[A] tautly original genre-bending exercise, technically sleek and accomplished, with some vivid, scary moments..." - 03/09/2018 Variety
"[A] sensationally gripping and emotional new alien-invasion thriller from the actor and writer-director John Krasinski." - 04/05/2018 Los Angeles Times
5 stars out of 5 -- "It is a cracking back-to-basics thriller that does not depend too much on what these creatures look like. Krasinski rather cleverly addresses this issue by keeping them glimpsed only subliminally at first..." - 04/05/2018 The Guardian
"[An] effective bit of nerve-jangling horror, which is told almost entirely without dialogue." - 04/07/2018 The Atlantic
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he special effects are extraordinary and sparingly used." - 04/02/2018 Total Film
