Theater review.
Possible spoilers. Hardly a week goes by without a new horror film being released or so it seems. Rarely, however is there something interesting enough that it gets my attention. Last year we got the critically and commercially acclaimed “Get Out,” a quasi-horror film and “It Comes at Night,” an apocalyptic thriller.
Like “It Comes at Night,” “A Quiet Place” opens with no back story. It’s 89 days after whatever the event was. We see the Abbott family, Lee (John Krasinski), Evelyn (Emily Blunt), teen daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), sons Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Beau (Cade Woodward), tippy toeing barefoot inside a desolate drug store in an equally desolate town, somewhere in Upstate New York. A glimpse of a newspaper headline suggests an impending apocalypse.
The family is quiet, using sign language to communicate rather than speak, even whisper. Why? We will find out in the next few minutes, as some form of alien has invaded Earth and which has heightened hearing. Hidden until the smallest sound causes the creatures to swoop end and…well it isn’t pretty.
The filmmakers keep the monster element mostly hidden for the first half of the film. It’s an effective technique similar to what Steven Spielberg did with “Jaws.” The film, also directed and co-written by Krasinski, features some great sound work and an effective score by Marco Beltrami.
It is a component of suspense as the movie for the most part has no talking. There are a couple exceptions but for the most part, it is silent except for the well placed music and the environmental elements of the family’s farm house and surroundings.
