Critics Consensus

A Quiet Place artfully plays on elemental fears with a ruthlessly intelligent creature feature that's as original as it is scary -- and establishes director John Krasinski as a rising talent.

A familiar premise is redeemed by a nifty gimmick in this suspenseful horror thriller.

But the difficulty does not lie in the lack of verbiage, but in our prohibitions. We're an ableist society, often fearful of the "arduous" journey that comes with empathizing with the deaf.

Rated: 3.5/4

Sure, it's just a movie but A Quiet Place is so effective that you'll be deathly afraid of making a sound - just like the main characters.

Rated: 9/10

Think back to the time when you tried sneaking a midnight snack at high while everyone’s asleep. Now imagine if your family had the hearing of Daredevil, and getting caught will get you grounded from life. That’s basically A Quiet Place.

Rated: 4/5

A Quiet Place boasts unwavering focus, an incredibly built image system, and some of the best sound-design works I have seen in a horror film so far.

This movie feels very grounded in the simple concept it laid out for the audience: Aliens invade Earth and will kill anything that makes noise. This simple concept left the filmmakers to use clever storytelling elements and good characters in a way that services that concept. Though this movie is far from perfect and has its quirks, it was still a very fun film to watch and enjoy. The movie has many moments of emotion, stakes, and actual, genuine suspense. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt really hit it out of the park with this one and it remains a memorable movie, even through all the flaws.

Krasinski’s A Quiet place is a masterclass in suspense and innovation. The film's unique use of silence creates an intense atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Stellar performances and a gripping story make it a must-watch. Absolutely flawless.

How could this movie get 96% it's a mystery.. Aside the fact that there isn't a story neither a scenario. No information: nothing provided. There is no reason for the monsters to survive any army operations. These creatures react to sound.. which also stun them when high pitched. Also die to shotgun single shot. What makes them dangerous?! A wild lion or a tiger would be a more efficient killer.

One of the best horror movies out there. It's a short one but it's very engaging and entertaining and there's barely any jumpscares. It makes you scared as you should be scared.
