Everything GREAT About A Quiet Place: Day One!

[@creepybantha1665]

The Quiet Place movies are proof that movies don't need to be unique, they just need to be good. All three movies are nearly identical in tone, plot, cinematography, and premise, and yet, because the emotional core of the film is intact, each new installment is more than worth a watch.

[@cuttlefish6839]

Yeah the plot wasn’t super complex but I enjoyed it a lot because it was just good

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

One tiny disagreement is that Day One seems to have unique undertones about how people dealt with 9/11. You can see it in the visuals of the dust of the -collapsed towers- aliens arriving and how quickly groups of strangers came together in solidarity, coupled with the brief use of the military to deal with the immediate threat. Other than that, yeah, they're basically all the same movie, just each done perfectly enough that we don't care.

[@Foostini]

@@TheWhiteDragon3 I agree with you absolutely but i also think people underestimate the inherent human need to gather with and protect your fellow man when push comes to shove. Obviously we live in a trying, divided time but if something like this happened today you pretty quickly stop caring about the details and start realizing that people's people and people's gotta survive.

[@kingofmonsters14]

another thing people seem to forget is that this is a prequel: it's before everything else, so not knowing the "rules" is to be expected for those who are now living through it at the start.

[@ranwolf7650]

Some people don't seem to realize that the characters in a book/movie/videogame/whatever sometimes don't have access to the same information the reader/viewer/gamer/whatever has in any given piece of media. I've seen people get mad because character a didn't automatically know what character b discovered at the otherside of the planet.

[@mars_mallow_]

the complaints i saw about this movie was that they knew TOO much about the rules. people wanted to see them flailing to figure it out a bit more, and didn’t like that it focused on a character who didn’t have to spend time figuring out that sound was what attracts the monsters, and was instead just told it pretty much right off the bat.

[@skeetus]

@@ranwolf7650yeah a lot of people see dramatic irony and think “oh the character must be dumb”

​@@mars_mallow_ Which is a bit silly because this movie establishes very quickly that flailing to figure out the rule = you die. You don't get to scream and then live to learn from your mistake. You see someone else scream and promptly get deleted, & you put 2 and 2 together. That's the only way to make it through the initial invasion, unless you get very lucky.

[@hpfan2007]

This one part at the end is so small but I still love it; in most horror/disaster movies whenever people are escaping and they see one person trying to catch up the answer is almost always “no leave him we gotta go!” But here they see someone is running to the boat, actually STOP the boat, and when he jumps into the water you can hear everyone on the boat shouting words of encouragement. In this scenario I guess it’s easier to stop and tell someone to keep going because they’re on a boat that’s already away from land, but after being stuck in this nightmare for a couple days most people would just be like “let’s just go already!” Especially when they’re still somewhat in the danger zone

[@lucya8608]

That's kind of a running theme through the whole series isn't it? That the end of the world doesn't (and can’t) stop you from being human. That's the point of Sam’s arc. Her world is ending (due to illness) and she responded by cutting out everything that makes her happy (her humanity). She stopped writing poetry, stopped reading, and isolated herself in an empty hospice room far away from her friends and community. On the road to get pizza we see her reengaging w/ the things that once gave her joy - she picks up a book to read, writes some lines for a poem, and seeks out a reminder of her family & community.

[@NtoTheM]

Most movies forget that in scenarios like these humans return to solid pack behavior. The people on that boat being lit up and happy over seeing another person make it is more than realistic.

[@hpfan2007]

@ and since this was still in the early days things haven’t gone all walking dead yet where no one trusts anyone and there isn’t any “every man for himself” or people just being terrible like we saw on the docks in the second movie

@@NtoTheM Not really, as evidenced by shitloads of real life history, in a disaster, generally the majority are preoccupied with themselves.

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

My film teacher had us watch this in class and use it to analyze story structure because it's so simple with its story but it does it so effectively and plainly that it's a great example of why story structures like the aptly named Save the Cat are studied so much. This story knows what it wants to be about - a dying woman going to get the last slice of pizza - and it doesn't stray from that path. It never tries to trick you or thinks it's smarter than you, and because of that it's one of the most effortless horror movies to watch. Even the jumpscares respect the audience, like the one at 8:30 that I noticed when watching it in class and I KNEW you'd point out. It didn't hide the aliens, it just didn't draw attention to them until it was important.

I might have to watch it again but yeah it’s utterly visceral. The storytelling is subjective just like the previous two films.

Beautiful story.

[@Narniangirl17]

Loved this analysis! One thing I wanted to add is about the consistency throughout the movie regarding what seems to trigger Eric's panic attacks. Our very first time seeing him, he is emerging from a water-filled subway entrance, gasping for air and terrified. The two panic attacks we see also involve water. First when they're wading through the water underground past the Death Angel and then again when he realizes he's going to have to jump into the river and swim to the boat to survive. I think they're trying to 'show not tell' that he is terrified of water now because of his initial experience when the aliens first arrived. And there's a deleted scene where he implies he left England because his father couldn't accept that Eric is gay, but that he was so lonely living in NYC that he was about to attempt suicide in the subway right when the aliens arrived - which made him realize he still wants to live. So I think the panic attacks have an added layer of the water reminding him how close he was to death but how much he really doesn't want to die anymore. Just really great storytelling in subtle ways throughout the entire movie!

I will note that the rant highlighted a REALLY good moment that CinemaWins missed - when the big guy does its super hearing thing and opens its head, the sound switches from what Eric is hearing to what the monster is hearing... It CAN hear Eric's heartbeat, but can't pinpoint where he is because of the background noise (it's a very cool moment)

[@JasmineBrown-ud2yf]

I am fine with people not liking this movie, I personally loved it and watching this video brings me the same amount of huge joy like when I first saw it in cinema. People are saying it's a genuinely horrible film with the plot holes, which some I can agree on; humans are bloody ass good at killing things, and will throw ALL FORCE to get rid of threats. So, at least in some areas where the meteors hit maybe their military discovered high-frequencies kill them, get rid of majority of population but can't actually tell other impacted areas or something. Either way, people really dislike movies if not everything makes sense. Which I can agree, logic helps with movies. Like the guy said; having good actors helps movies a whole ton. I also loved the way he describes bears being chill or rude. Sometimes, 100% realism doesn't make a movie good. I always say "Every single dragon you see on screen, is likely wrong. Very wrong, not realistic, won't work. Something that large with x + muscle mass with miniature wings won't fly." But that does not stop me from loving httyd, it's amazing. I also will like to add most people who genuinely hate this film wants everything perfect, or don't like horror movies, or don't understand the emotional aspects of it that makes it great. Either way I still love the movies even if parts obviously cannot align with how things would work if it really happened. (No judgement to people who don't like it, however)

[@boshwa20]

Here's a thought, would it really be accurate to call this universe post apocalyptic? First two movies are set in the countryside and day one is set in, well, the first couple of days. We dont know the status of everywhere else, there's possibly a huge number of people living on islands after evacuating. Hell, maybe Hawaii was untouched for all we know

[@samip2212]

For islands, I feel that they would still experience a lot of apocalyptic symptoms. Hawaii has to import a lot of food and goods daily. I think that could be a cool concept for a short film but idk if it would work for the main movie series due to the lack of death angels.

[@fallingstar9643]

That's something I've also wondered about apocalypse stories. We have all this media showing us how regular people survive and adapt... well, where are the professionals in all of this? Where are the survival experts? Where are the Marines and SEALs and other highly trained combat forces? Hell, where are the Boy Scouts? One of the first things any military is going to do is share information about a new foe, and one of the first things the world will figure out about the Death Angels is that they're attracted to sound; therefore, one of the first things that will happen is the militaries of the world will figure out how to exploit that advantage; like as not using distractions, such as disposable radios. I think it would end up being not dissimilar to the first part of the "Last of Us" game, where we saw a large pocket of human survivors essentially being corralled by a military organization. Once militaries figure out what to do, they would start doing it, and that probably includes - as you mentioned - relocating people and supplies to islands, like Hawai'i. Though, while the engineer in me would genuinely love to see a story about a group of humans using cleverness to overcome a superior foe (or maybe I just remember when the 90's were a thing), I recognize that the more compelling stories tend to lean more heavily on tragedy.

[@BLK_pharaoh]

I’d say yes, in how the Planet of the Apes universe has movies explaining how Apes got smart and Humans became primal.

This film is a fine addition to a good film series. The acting and writing are always far better than the lower quality standards usually seen in monster flicks. This film also showed us what the alien invasion would be like in a large, noisy city instead of a relatively quiet small town. It even subverts the "final girl" trope by making the main protagonist terminally ill. I really like that these films are shown from the perspective of ordinary people caught up in something horrible instead of the perspective of scientists or soldiers trying to stop the aliens. It reminds me of Cloverfield in that regard and I also liked that film a lot. The filmmakers of these films recognize that the monsters aren't the important focus in monster flicks but that it's the people just trying to survive who make the film interesting and worth watching instead of just one graphic kill after another. I hope this film series continues and also hope that the quality stays high throughout.

[@gdottothegamer1001]

I love the way you explain the whole lore thing, that just because certain characters find an answer that doesn't mean it's the only answer or even the correct one. Another good example of this is The Walking Dead. At least the game made by ttg, idk much about the series or comics. In S1, Lee and Clementine learned to avoid walkers by smearing a walker's guts and bloods all over their body, and Clementine taught that to the other survivors in S2, 3, and 4. But then in the Michonne spinoff, we see the way Michonne avoiding the walkers is by using them as a sort of meat shield. Cutting their lower jaw so they won't bite her and then tying them with a rope, kinda like a guiding animal. And the in S4 Clementine met James, a guy who managed to live among the walkers by using a walker face as his mask. On the side note, the death angels actually know the concept of liquid since we see one in the first movie drinking and then slowly swimming. But that's not a plot hole. The water was very shallow and it knows that. It walks under the water, just like hippo. It was also ready to go under the water. Meanwhile the ones that we've seen in Part 2 and Day One weren't ready. Although, it was weird seeing the them not jumping to the water at the climax of Day One. But overall, I absolutely love this series

[@batmanslarynx]

Joseph Quinn being able to go toe-to-toe with Lupita says everything about his talent.

[@TheSlowRunner]

I was really hesitant about a pre-qual but it really impressed me.

[@bioscar4998]

I love, LOVE the Quiet Place series. Hearing more of the themes and teachings the film was going for just makes me smile and even nearly tear up. I love the Aliens. I adore the designs, I adore the fact that, despite having weaknesses and being physical and stuff, they're still horrifying and dangerous to deal with. Also THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for discussing the hearing thing everyone argues about. I myself adore the fact that louder noises masking smaller ones idea that you showed with the generator and fabric ripping. It very much makes sense when being described and even shown. I hope they make more films and I can't wait to see that world expand to new heights.

[@emezai]

this movie had me in violent tears by the end, lupita's character really hit home to me because my mother is sick too. she's got one of those diseases that in a situation like this she wouldn't survive. just the hopelessness that the characters who were already on borrowed time are presented with and how much more unfair it is for them. even if she escaped she wouldn't have much longer regardless. just heartbreaking.

[@cristiancervantes1935]

Watching this with my mom in theaters as I started my Chemo was an experience I won’t forget. We had no idea going in that the main character was going to be in hospice and we were just crying at every moment. And I think the movie is just so beautiful. And it makes me so sad when people hate on this movie for not being Day One apocalyptic enough. When they gave us something so much more and hits so hard for people like me and people with crippling anxiety like Joseph Quinn.

[@DeadPirateBrandon]

At first I liked the Cinema Sins guy better, but I’ve completely flipped. Finding the joys and wonders in cinema fill me with so much more happiness compared to nitpicking.

[@Void_of_thoughts]

The first movie was about a family working together to survive, the second one was about finding people who lost everything and them learning to work with people again and not just themselves, and the third movie was about a person who’s been alone for some time once again learning to work with people but also being able to enjoy themselves and know the people they worked with will survive and continue to live

[@frapiichino]

This movie is an instant 10/10 because the cat survives. Also, main actress Lupita was terrified of cats before this movie, but because of her amazing furry costars, she ended up adopting her own cat that she constantly shows off on her Instagram!

[@listlesstoboggan1845]

People kinda hate on these because they got popular immediately (also people love nitpicking movies instead of enjoying/thinking forward a bit) and I'm glad you point out a lot of the full panic reactions that people have to fight against to survive. While I may not 100% agree on some points, you articulate your view so well however I cannot believe you think pizza is MID?!

[@JasmineBrown-ud2yf]

I watched an entire 38 video with the person talking why the movie sucked, and the franchise itself... primarily with how "THIS CANNOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE!! NOOO IT WON'T WORK IN REAL LIFE!" type of thing. They mainly talked about the hearing being inconsistent, that the military would destroy the Death Angels (agree to disagree, we're ahh violent with stupid crazy bullets n weapons) what if parts don't make sense and rationality? I suppose thinking past those irritating thoughts of: "How do they drown in water, but not die in space?", "Why can an axe kill it but not bullets?" or "Why don't their insides turn to mush with shockwaves?" People also hate this movie because they may not understand the emotional symbolisms. In that area yes it was bloody amazing I had the biggest obsession over it. it wasn't really a mad movie, sure some logic parts may fall flat with the stereotypical "Danger in New York, everyone dies no military destroy! Weak baby weapons :c" but honestly, nah. It's good. Like I always say, it's a darn movie. Fictional. Some things don't gotta make sense! Like how the Red Death in HTTYD Flies (Because I know for sure that thing is ass heavy)

[@sandrakiefler4649]

So stoked for this one my dude! Thank you for the calling out of just how ridiculous a lot of people are about things in movies being “consistent” and if there’s the tiniest of what they perceive to be a “plot hole” &/or any deviation of the way they quantify aspects of lore they lose their freaking minds over it, it’s sad really, movies should be experienced not nitpicked to death…I swear some people seem to go to see a movie for the sole purpose of looking for “mistakes” especially when sequels are concerned ffs! 🤦‍♀️😮‍💨👍😉

[@sandrakiefler4649]

Also…somehow forgot to add that…this was another awesome video my dude!😉👍 I recently started to go back thru your older content and I cannot believe it’s been that long that I’ve been watching these vids!🤷‍♀️

[@dominquejames3885]

That walking scene still makes me angry. They said “go to the bayside there’s a boat don’t miss it.” I was like okay let’s go that way, and then all these people came walking out, like okay let’s go. Then I heard how loud it became, like all of y’all haven’t been in a school hallway before!

[@from_no_where]

As if school hallways are quiet? For me after elementary school (where teachers would literally line their class up single file and lead them around) school hallways were always loud af 💀 Unless you don't mean passing period, but walking through the hallways in between classes instead, which is only quiet because there *aren't* crowds of people walking through them.

[@Tyrunea]

I, personally, am just really grateful for people who watch these movies and recap them so I can enjoy them vicariously. I get so amped up at horror/suspense that I just can't watch all the way through.

[@Hex_Decimal]

A bit of simple but really good symbolism that I noticed watching this in theaters but that the video doesn't mention: at 1:30, you can see what Sam sees looking out the window: Manhattan, her home, with a cemetery between her and it. It's a straight-laced but deeply effective visual statement to how distant Sam feels not just from being alive in general, but from HER life as a New Yorker, and how her impending death is cutting her off from what she had. I went to watch this movie on a whim (had a morning meeting and an evening shift at my job and didn't want to do the commute twice so I hit up a nearby theater to fill time instead), and this shot was the first thing that really got me to switch my brain from "this is a time-killer" to "this is a movie I want to watch." I also respect the heck out of your tangent at the end. A lot of people are super into the Death Angel lore and as a lorehound myself I do respect it, but to me the aliens in this series have always been plot devices meant to facilitate the character storytelling, rather than being the center of storytelling themselves. The concept of being a terminally ill person at the cusp of an apocalypse - a survival horror story in which the protagonist cannot and does not expect to survive - was way more interesting and moving to me than the alien minutiae, because it fundamentally changes the stakes of the story from what we're used to from the genre. Super good stuff. Loved this film and loved the video; always glad to see an EGA about a film I really enjoyed watching.

[@aliasfakename3159]

I love that this movie has an invalid for a protagonist. Not once does Eric see Sam as a liability for her illness cuz he's just as much a liablility as her but in a different way. They cover each other's weaknesses

[@Darthalas]

As always stellar content!❤ Your insights and dives into these movies are always welcome. I especially love your bit at the end, I too feel like people spend more time trying to point out where movies are mistaken or where they have broken some hard set rule that people have built up in their own heads, rather than actually enjoying the stories and artwork that has been created. This hurts not only their enjoyment, but I feel as though it chips away at our social consciousness as a whole. So thank you for always being that light that is so necessary and so rare❤

[@Smokingman25]

you'll probably never read this but you mentioned watching animals in an apocalypse living their lives. You should check out the movie "Flow". It's an animated movie with no dialogue about animals trying to survive after a flood.

[@SkyWingFeather]

So I raise you Blaze Pizza; best quick fire-baked pizza in the country. Other than that, I think what made this movie good is that the characters were so opposite each other it was insane. The Abbots could thrive in their ways because they’d lived it for years, but Sam, and the movie, sort of reveled in this ever-hovering sense of death. And Eric was someone desperate, anxious, to be alive. So he gave her life, both mentally and physically (with the meds) and she then let him take her (Frodo) and her dad (the sweater) to safety.

[@Pawtism_Legacy]

I 100% believe that Day One is the best movie in the Trilogy. If it came out before Part I & Part II, almost everyone would agree. This is actually my favorite movie & has been since it came out, but I’m still deciding if The Wild Robot will take its place soon.

[@furiousgamerxz5141]

I’m glad you mentioned the out of nowhere GIANT DEATH ANGEL! And I really hope that it not only comes back but is explained if there’s ever a 4th A Quiet Place.

[@averymerrick]

Enforced Method Acting (from TV Tropes): Joseph Quinn didn't show Lupita Nyong'o the card trick he was going to do until the day of filming *so that her reaction would be more natural.*

[@innertuber4049]

That scene with them all cowering in the theater was very realistic. We have a natural instinct to stay quiet when there is something dangerous outside. Even the young people. Watching it reminded me of my experience with a terrorist attack, where I too was stuck in an auditorium wondering if the bad guy was going to break in any second. None of us made a sound. Combine this with the 9/11 imagery of New Yorkers covered in ash and dust (I grew up in NYC), and that part of the film made me really emotional. If you want to know what going through major trauma is like, this film portrays it really well.

[@kyogeni]

im so glad to finally watch a video that talks about the good things in a movie. it exhausts me watching so many film criticisms, especially when it comes to movies that I like.

[@wiljramos2451]

NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!! I cant wait for the next one now! But this was a great movie and a better breakdown!

[@M911-e9v]

I watched this movie on a flight recently and I must say, this franchise has seriously impressed me now. The first movie was a great horror blockbuster, but I never thought it needed a sequel. The ending was good enough to send the message that, yes, the monsters CAN be killed, the people CAN survive and win. The sequel was equally as entertaining, and gave the series a good ending. I was excited when I found out that they were making a prequel movie in the city, whereas the first two were in the country, but knew deep down it would’ve been so easy for them to screw it up, but they didn’t. This movie was so damn good, and I would go so far as to say it’s my favorite of the three. Lupita crushed the role of Sam, the monsters had a much larger presence than in the first two, and there was a compelling story of a terminally ill cancer patient wanting to live out her final days in her home rather than run any further. Also, this movie might have the single greatest ending of any movie ever. The timing of the monsters landing signifying Sam’s death perfectly with the beat of feeling good was so satisfying and I rewatched it like 5 times. Its even cooler when you remember that Sam’s father played jazz, so she was raised with it, then she ended with it.

[@gradiation]

Kind of disappointed you didn't mention continuity with Part 2. The island's leader mentions several boats arriving at the dock during the initial invasion, only for two to ever leave. And in Day 1 we get a shot of all the boats, but later only see one (presumably with the other leaving for a different island)

[@annhalder4243]

Speaking of Lupita Nyong'o, I hope you do Wild Robot. I feel like it's going under the radar

[@hotteamonke]

this movie is actually so underrated, i don’t hear people talking about it that much but it’s actually amazing

[@quixoticallyQ]

I’ve only watched this movie once since my original viewing in theaters - same with all of the movies in the series- because as with the first, the way I cried so hard was too much for me. Such simple story lines but such masterful pieces about humanity and love. Ugh so damn good.

[@bellacataline8506]

I think Eric panicking in the subway tunnel is really a great call back to how afraid he must be after almost drowning in there before!

[@Lanipooh1]

This is such a gorgeous film - beautiful performances, moving story, entertaining suspense. Lupita is exceptional.

[@Recks37]

10:46 Those are fighting words my guy

[@chubbysins]

Absolutely 😂

[@TheMadsC]

I'm glad this was literally the first comment when I opened the comment section, because HUH!? Pizza is MID!?? That's a crazy take

[@coleleonard6204]

I might have to unsubscribe after hearing that take

[@stephenjacewicz4594]

The Cloverfield vibes, the personal struggles, and that egg scene made this one of the best films of the year. The egg farm scene is one of the craziest movie scenes this year as this is the first time you see this in the franchise and it is grotesque. The subway scene in it also reminded me of Fallout 3 when you go in the metro systems and it's flooded and creatures ot other dangers roam about. The subway scene is like Cloverfield's too. Paramount has great monsters in their creature features.

[@kayneedlinson725]

Had the pleasure of watching this in it's world premiere. It's simple, in a good way. Like, it doesn't try to reach an insane level of grandeur nor is it cliche & formulaic. It's a story about a dying woman using her final days to live.

[@oxycodinegd]

A Quiet Place: Day One was my first horror movie I saw in theatres and it's still my favorite horror movie to date. I love how you can pinpoint exactly what I love about movies and also a ton of other details that I can't quite pick up on.

[@notaggamerr8465]

One thing that always bothered me was people saying "Oh, a quiet place... of getting pizza". I went with a friend to watch the movie and we both understood the value that a simple slice of pizza had for Sam and seeing people judge it for that and calling it mid just gives me a tick in the eye

[@crazymic10]

I finally got to watching this and honestly I loved how well it showed the scope of the invasion. It is a great addition to the series!

[@elliotgale]

lupita n'yongo is just phenomenal, anything she's in is a 100% win. beautiful film

[@malsnakamoto]

I can honestly say this movie made me absolutely terrified of the monsters. The sound design and general design on them this movie was the best! Joe and Lupita were phenomenal!!

[@phousefilms]

Breaks my heart at the ending with the literary connection. Frodo crosses the water, but Sam stays behind.

[@paddyq3235]

If I'm not mistaken, the score is entirely strings until the moment in the club when she's sitting at the piano. It's a subtle thing, but I really appreciate it. (There may have been piano in the marionette scene, but I feel like it makes sense).

[@movieswithsammykitty]

I honestly think Joseph Quinn’s rising star and the Winona Ryder Renaissance are the best things to come from Stranger Things (I know he was acting in stuff before it, but he really made a mark in ST). I love his big, sad eyes. They’re so expressive.

[@thememedungeonkeeper]

Remember remember the 5th of November... Everything Great About V for Vendetta. Is this the year? We got a couple of months left. Will we finally watch a video of Lee gushing about Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman and Sir Stephen Fry? While ranting about the horrible marketing for the movie and the evils of fear-based politics? I don't know, might be relevant. *shrug* 😉 Great video! I'm not a big fan of horror at all (my brain doesn't do well with horror) but I enjoyed this trilogy for what it was.

[@nicholaslubertozzi7933]

I never thought that a channel like CinemaWins would share such a hot take. "All pizza is mid"?!!?! How dare you!

[@Bigpeterman]

The way she dies by just putting on music. EVEN THE “I feel good” made that moment a million times better.

[@HoodieHorizon]

It's so infuriating talking about this movie and hearing "why don't they just XYZ?!??!" "Why doesn't the military just do XYZ?!?!" 1.) in this movie vs the 1st and 2nd, the death angel numbers are so drastically different to where it goes from certain death to manageable means clearly their numbers were thinned out 2.) they hit the largest populated areas first, aka the spots that have the biggest military which means they were the first to go down in less than a week 3.) the military in this movie was actually surprisingly competent for even being able to figure out the water and sound and use that to try and coordinate evacuations. Our military never would've used that kind of strategy and the people certainly wouldn't be cooperative enough to even follow it 4.) how in the hell are they supposed to know that "quiet is good and sound is bad except for this one type of sound which is actually good". If you went to a general and presented that idea you'd be shot on sight 5.) it's crazy how so many people think that nuking/bombing everything as soon as it happened would've been the best and most rational decision when it happened without even considering evacuation People who criticize this franchise often criticize the parts that prove they have no concept of media literacy and "if a character doesn't do what I would do then it's bad writing"

[@DarthBiomech]

> "quiet is good and sound is bad except for this one type of sound which is actually good" TBH, "this creature has insanely acute hearing so maybe trying to attack it via that avenue can incapacitate it" isn't as far-fetched as it seems. I'm not sure anybody actually tested it out, but as an analogy I feel you can stun a, say, tiger at night with a camera flash. At least for a short while.

[@DarthBiomech]

10:47 "pizza is mid" You did NOT just said that!

[@Ducky_______]

i watched this movie in the summer and i had no idea about the rest of the movies but i can say i really enjoyed the movie and i recommend this movie to anyone you don't need to know anything about the other movies

[@beks333]

I loved being able to watch this in theatres and hear the moment people stopped chewing and put their drinks down. Feeling like we were in it made the experience more… enjoyable? realistic? I just love this franchise and love the scores even more

[@GoobinGlisten]

this movies made me cry lol mostly because any theme of family will make me cry (also the cat is so cute!!)

[@karmallarma5871]

Yeah, I don't get nitpicking about the Angels either when the first movie literally answers the questions. When the Death Angel first enters the house in A Quiet Place and goes after the egg timer, we can hear its perspective, and we learn two things; one, _it can hear the timer._ It simply chooses not to react until two; it becomes a sudden, loud sound. This one scene basically explains Death Angel hearing. They can hear heartbeats as easily as they can hear waterfalls- but they're _consistent_ noises. Angels use consistent noises to navigate, and because attacking every consistent noise would be a colossal waste of energy, so even when it hears a human heartbeat it does not attack. It's only when there's an inconsistent noise- that same human screaming for instance- that it recognizes prey and launches an attack.

[@P3P3-3]

We saw in the first movie that the military stood NO chance, literally declaring, we can’t save you, but the movies choice of showing the destroyed tanks littered everywhere really hammers the nail in the coffin, an abrams armour is thick, and I mean thick, and the death angels claws being able to go right through the frontal armour, shows even more just how strong they truley are

[@SkeleFilms]

10:50 calling pizza mid is crazy..... I also respect your opinion

[@HKT1216]

I looooved Eric in day one because it is so easy to have a "tough guy helps damsel in distress" trope in horror movies but he and Sam worked so incredibly well together platonically, him being the less calm and collected one, showing fear, being awkward unsure but still having his own issues and heartaches was so endearing it was one of my favorite parts of the film. I adore the quiet place movies because they really are just people being people in the most nightmarish circumstances possible, in good and bad ways.

[@louisberry4403]

This is a worthy spin-off of the franchise with great suspense and character depth. Lupita And Joseph shined here and Frodo Is The MVP. Can't wait for Part III.
