Really? It felt like another M Night Shyamalan film from the late 2000s, down to the plot, pace, and "reveal" (supernatural/superpower like). Felt it was very much overrated. My opinion, anyway.

[@squatch545]

John's already agreed to do a sequel. Probably called A Quieter Place

[@drphot6050]

Shhhh guys I'm trying to read comments here 😉

[@MrsBungle78]

I saw A Quiet Place in a packed cinema & I’m so glad I did. There are just some movies that need to be experienced at the cinema. Every single person in that movie theatre was completely silent, holding their breath throughout most of the movie. We all gasped, jumped, chuckled & got teary at the same times & it was the weirdest thing but as we were all walking out at the end of the movie there was this strange sense of like, ‘we all experienced this together’. I’ve never had that before, I’ve heard other people talk about it & just kinda rolled my eyes on the inside, to be honest! But now I get it!

[@EXG21]

What's even weirdly better is to be the only one in the theater, I saw it about a week and a half after it came out on a Thursday afternoon, and it was the best way to see the movie. Quiet as hell.

[@DVRMNaitor]

Complete opposite experience, I watched it Late at nite on a Sunday and I was alone in the room. The sound experience was terrific.

[@drphot6050]

Y'all white and/or Asian I can tell lol

[@jules1458]

yeah I had to finish my popcorn at home

[@MrsBungle78]

EXG21 That would be cool! Though I think I’d be too scared to sit in a movie theatre completely alone...scary movie or not! Lol. That’s just asking to be murdered- it’s like, the rules (just like the girl with her boobs out always dies first!)! Lol!

Ha! That movie not at least nominated for best Sound Design would actually be worse than having the category "Best Popular Movie"

[@jishwaitstyler9549]

It could also very well be nominated for visual effects even though it doesn’t necessarily have the best special effects but because it was made on such a minuscule budget.

This movie was honestly one of the best. It had SO much depth to it. It wasn’t just a scary thrilling movie. And the fact that John and Emily got to work together as husband and wife as characters, you can tell they had emotion and passion behind the film. We need more movies with John K as director. For sure. And Emily was phenomenal!! Round of applause, standing ovation.
