Re: The old man yelling It's been a while since I've seen this in its entirety, but the impression I got was that the old woman (his wife?) died from the creatures... and in his grief, he yelled out. He had just given up, basically, and didn't want to live in this fucked up world anymore. I also think it's a good parallel (and foreshadowing?) to the father yelling out at the end. The old man cried out because a life was lost, while the father cried out in order to save a life.

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

Some of the best emotional and horror performances I've ever seen have been from comedy actors! Catherine Tate is an amazing example.

[@DerMoerpler]

There's actually some interesting theory on why that is. From a filmmaking perspective, constructing a scare is very similar to constructing a joke. Both have set-ups and payoffs, both often rely on the element of surprise and both are used to break up the tension of a scene. Furthermore, both can exist not only as a funny line or a scary moment, but as an overall mood: A movie can feel funny or "feelgood" even if nothing funny is happening at that exakt moment, and a movie can feel creepy/scary the same way. Other genres like Sci-Fi, Drama, Western or Fantasy don't have something that clear. If executed really well, both can push your body and mind to a temporary loss of control, be it through bend-over belly-laughing or being paralized because you're scared shitless. There are a lot of parallels and a skilled comedian will almost always have a good sense for horror.

[@dumoredas]

Watching this movie in the theaters was hands down one of the most unique experiences of my life - it was during the premiere weekend, and normally for a big movie like this around here you just know there's going to be at least a few people quietly chatting or reacting to movie and certainly a lot of food/drinks noises; however, the room was absolutely crowded during the movie and you wouldn't hear a single thing (besides the occasional sharp breath or the shuffling of someone covering their mouth during the tense moments). Like, people genuinely and without protest were just silent the entire movie. It was almost like there was this mutual agreement or understanding between everyone that this was a special occasion and you should do your best to be silent - to the point that pretty much everyone who bought popcorn or candy finished their food before the trailers ended so as to not disturb the silence. It was definitely a crazy (but good) thing to experience.

[@exordguy]

John described this movie as a movie of love.. and what a parent will do to protect their kids. So, horror movie... ok... but more, I think a demonstration of a parent's love for their family and what extents they will go to protect them.

[@rpvee]

I loved the first one, but loved the second one even more because it does the exact amount of world building the viewer wants after the original while still focusing on the family. So good.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

I like that you recognized the implant. 80-90% of reactors see the first scene with the cochlear implant and say "oh, she has a hearing aid". If it was a hearing aid, she'd be dead. Hearing aids work by taking the sound it detects and amplifying it into the user's ear. The monsters would definitely be able to hear it. Cochlear implants take the sound they detect and transmit it directly into the ear inside the skull. Cochlear implant users can even connect a phone directly to the implant and play whatever they want as loud as they want and no one else could possibly hear. The reason hers puts out feedback when the monsters are around is because it was modified in her dad's failed attempt at fixing it.

[@satortenet]

32:42 Nat, that man lost his last relative on that scene, and he looked like a tired old man who, on that moment, decided we was through with life and all he had to do to end it was to make a loud noise. This scene is really profound if you think about it.

[@plumfun6750]

Yup. I get the impression he was living with his wife, both old, who had survived the apocalypse. Then she died, he wasn't sure about going on. Then he encounters a child and thinks "This child now has to live in this world..." and I think that was probably what 'broke' him. The realization that he'd have to live in a world without his true love and that the child would be growing up in such a world, probably never to have what he did. He couldn't live knowing all that. So...f'kit.

My reading of the “Old Man”, is that the Old Woman was his wife, that she was killed by one of the Creatures and he subsequently lost the will to live.

[@ct_rider134]

That's how I always thought of it also. She made a noise in some way or another and was killed and they stumbled upon the scene. Old man either didn't want to live without his wife or intentionally gave his life so that they could escape. Tiny noises may not always draw the monsters but if there's one super close even their footsteps could have drawn it to them, think of how loud it was hearing the ticks from the egg timer

[@gnomeandgarden6157]

This one has been in my watch list for ages, so thanks for giving that little kick to finally watch it. The old man brings to mind a story I heard of a Hollywood couple in the 60s(maybe). What I remember was that she died of natural causes, then he died a few days later , leaving a note "not without her". The infant mask isn't "gas to keep it from crying". They're giving the baby oxygen while sealing him in a "soundproof" box. The whiteboard early on shows that the creatures are armored, but if you look after the feedback attack, they can no longer close the armor segments over their "ears", (assuming some short term muscle spasm effect) which is how the shotgun finally works.

[@SpartanShepard]

Pt. 2 is absolutely bonkers. In my opinion it's absolutely on par with part 1; my friends actually love part 2 more. What I love about these movies is that they have heart. A lot of the stand out moments are just the quiet moments with the characters (that waterfall scene is one of my favorites). We care about all of the characters, and when they're in danger, we freak out. It's insane how these movies have minimal audible dialogue, yet Krasinkski crafts this super engaging story. He's got a promising future in the directing world.

And then the fact she almost falls on the stairs because something (the nail) trips her and she doesn't care at all to check on that?!

Ooh ooh! This really flew under my radar and I’m SO glad I watched it. Happy you loved it!

[@Droski_Rodriguez19]

I remember watching in theaters and literally being able to pinpoint where someone in the room was reaching for snacks or grabbing a drink. Definitely made me self conscious while I munched on my popcorn lol

[@jorgeramos7819]

You should watch “The Descent”, also has a lot of well done jumpscares.

[@antviper135]

Probably the best jump scares I've seen in horror movies

[@rsolsjo]

Yes!

[@natalieburnham3300]

That movie was so terrifying to me, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!

[@The_Skrub]

As far as horror movies go, this one was perfection as far as being directed and produced goes. The audio, the visuals, the acting, everything is perfect.

[@joits]

The annoying kid(s) in a horror movie trope that does something stupid to either alert the bad guy/alien/monster/creature that leads to people dying is usually why I hate kids in movies... within the first few mins of this movie, I love what they did even though that kind of thing is normally taboo in movies.

[@julia2802]

to be fair, thats usually how kids behave

[@krwawyrzeznik]

Yup, I watched it with my 10yo son and told him, he'd be one of the first victims. He just can't shut up. And he agreed.

[@blackvelvet1268]

Idk about you but kids are very hard to keep quiet especially young kids like this one.

[@robertcampbell8070]

I mean, I don't think a kid doing something to alert the bad guy/alien/monster/creature is a trope or the kid being stupid, it's just the kid being a kid. The kid surviving afterwards by outsmarting the antagonist is the trope.

[@workmancommaseth5916]

I think what you guys are thinking of as tropes are really just things that happen sometimes in movies. The thought that "the good guys always win" is a trope, but movies would be pretty bad if we got the story of the people who died/lost.

[@wheelzbabyliz89]

Good dinosaur, strangers prey at night, Chucky movies, Disney movies, great mouse detective, trick r treat, I have a long list of movies lol. Great reactions

[@JamesDavis-sh9gh]

Hard to believe Jim from the Office can scare the living daylights out of anyone.

[@mechanomics2649]

None of this would have happened if they'd just went to Dwight's and Mose's beet farm.

[@marcw6875]

He scared Dwight that one time when he ransacked his own hotel room and then collapsed on the floor from the closet. ;)

[@johncee853]

Indeed. He's also great as Jack Ryan!

[@kylejde]

I was like you when i saw it in the theater with a friend...after the movie i COULD NOT stop talking about the sound design. how they would switch perspective and go totally silent when we were on the daughter, and he music while sparse was a perfect compliment for eveything

[@jkramer302]

I love how John Krasinski wrote and directed this movie as well! Especially since he featured his real life wife Emily Blunt. Amazing performances.

[@andycapp3499]

Love your reaction to this film. The second one gives you a number of answers. I'm waiting for the 3rd film in the series.

[@grelgen]

The part at the end when Blunt smirks a little when she racks the shotgun informs that this is the cathartic moment of the movie, even though it's like 2 seconds long. It leaves you with this hopeful feeling that maybe everything is gonna be ok. It's the same with Alien. she hit's that button to blast the alien out of the thruster and the movie ends with her giving a mission report like it's any other Tuesday.

[@symboh6492]

Reminds me of another of her movies where the final 2 seconds are of someone smirking at her.

[@yesilikemyowncomment1959]

I love the sound design for this movie

[@kritler215ks]

God the dad dying literally makes me cry no matter how many times I see it. Excited to see you watch #2! I really liked it!!

[@andys8483]

Honestly, this was one of the very best cinema experiences I have ever had. It was so unreal in that everybody was so silent,...almost afraid to make any sound whatsoever. No talking, no popcorn munching or sweet wrapper rustling, no coughing,...absolutely intense! Amazing 👍

[@TheVoid13_]

Fun Fact: I didn't cry this much while watching the movie myself and watching it with her makes my eyes fill with water multiple times...

[@samuelhope6817]

Something I love about these movies is how well the stakes are dealt with. The first movie is beautifully crafted and the sequel carries over the high stakes from the end of the first and it holds those stakes for the entire runtime

[@knightwarrior8337]

I always love the absolute dread you get in these movies when you hear a noise

[@checkmate9099]

4:04, nice attention to detail from this scene. The store has all its food gone except for packs of chips because of the amount of noise it creates. Love it when movies do these type of things.

[@charlesjames5059]

Six minutes in, you mention you hope they're not walking to a cabin in the woods. "Cabin in the Woods" with Chris Hemsworth. That would be a FANTASTIC addition to "Natmares."

[@nickmilo932]

I looooove this set up and background.

[@calbedard]

When I saw this in theaters, there was this guy and his tinder date beside me and through the entire film, he kept boasting about how he could defeat the monster. He talked through the entire film and she looked miserable. Safe to say he probably didn't get a second date.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

When I saw it in the theater, I think people were so quiet that I never heard a single word spoken. I think also that people were very self conscious about the noise that they made even eating popcorn ! I was ! !

[@MegaGeNeRaLEE]

Can’t wait for you to see A Quiet Place Part II. It may have only came out 6 months ago but it’s already in my all time Top 10

[@zeus982]

The most surreal experience I’ve ever had in a packed theatre. NOONE was making any noise. No moving in their chairs, no eating, it was utterly bizarre.

[@lilyelva1705]

the sequel is so great! and gives a lot more background on how the creatures got there and how it all began

[@KdeeBUBBLES444]

Train to Busan is another suspenseful sad horror film and one of my favourites, but i know how much Nat hates zombies😂

[@Otokichi786]

Natalie hasn't seen "Train to Busan" yet, but I suspect that she will get a real emotional roller coaster ride out of this modern classic from South Korean. A naive Canadian reactor, "Popcorn in Bed" was tricked by her Patreons who assured her that "Alien" was no scarier than "Ghostbusters." (Sadists!) They repeated the trick with "Aliens," though she'd stopped eating popcorn, or there would have been "a mess in bed.";)

[@PinkyPowers]

Yes, this one really blew me away. It was so much better than I hoped. So much better than it perhaps had any right to be. Just golden, from start to finish.

[@ek9509]

3:51: Shh. Be quiet. Those terrible creatures are everywhere. (6:26) Oh no. What was that? It's too late. They're coming, but we won't let them get you. It might have been fun to watch the creatures of A Quiet Place (2018) from the comfort of your home. But what are you going to do now that they've set their ears on you? Don't worry. We've got just the tips to help you survive this alien invasion. Welcome to A Quiet Place (2018 - 2021*). I hope you're listening to this through your headphones, my friend. They're out there. Terrible alien creatures have invaded Earth, and their only goal seems to be to extinguish humanity. The invaders are faster than any vehicle. They're strong enough to break through any building and have impenetrable armour. They're blind, but these aliens have incredible hearing. They can hear the slightest noise from miles away, and they will hunt you viciously. That's why, throughout this reaction of a reaction, I'll tour you the best ways to avoid them, escape from them and even fight them. And surprisingly, you may need an electric guitar to blow them away. 4:00: You managed to survive the initial attack and learned that these things hunt you by sound. But you need shelter, a source of food and water. Stay away from cities. Even empty of people, cities are full of noisy things that you can't control, like car alarms and falling things. Seek shelter outdoors, where you can find water sources and the wind can dissipate some of your noises. But don't walk on forest trails. The rustle of leaves is loud enough for them to hear you and hunt you down. You can mark your routes with sand, so it absorbs the noise of your footprints, and protect your feet, because you know, you can't wear shoes. 8:27: Avoid any packaged, crunchy foods. Opening a box or can could be enough to get you killed. Look for a quiet, natural food source such as fish. I know, fish are noisy. But the sound of running water will mask a lot of the noises you make and provide you with a freshwater source. Fortunately, a cooking fire doesn't seem to get the aliens' attention. So you can cook your fish. But don't use oil or dishes, as they are very noisy. And unfortunately, greens are not an option. Think of all the noise you make growing a crop, storing them in the fridge, and even chewing them. So, it's fish tonight, my friend. Again. 4:25: The most important thing is your ability to communicate effectively with other survivors without speaking. Sign language is your best option. But this type of communication varies from country to country. Fortunately, there is an international sign language, and it is very similar to ASL (American Sign Language). But if you need to communicate with people at a distance, you can use a flashlight or a fire to share messages in Morse Code. It's a good idea to at least know how to say SOS. It's three quick flashes, three long flashes, and three short flashes again. Wait a few seconds, and repeat the signal until you get a response. (a few seconds later) Oh yes. This is great. There are other survivors in the area. 18:30: It doesn't matter how stealthy you have become. Eventually, you will make some noise, and the creatures will come after them. So prepare some loud and distant sound sources to distract them. You can use some fireworks that you can set off from your shelter. But you can also put out some sound devices that you can control remotely, like Bluetooth speakers. That's assuming that electricity is still available. But if it isn't, you can use some portable solar panels to keep those devices running. 27:02: You can't spend your whole life hiding, my friend. At some point, you will have to fight. Fortunately, their strength is also their greatest weakness. Those deep ears are so sensitive that audio feedback seems to put them in deep pain. Audio feedback occurs when you close the loop between an input, such as a microphone, and an output such as an amplifier. So, get an amp and a microphone. Or you can use a more fun option, like an electric guitar. Those little pickups are basically microphones that translate the notes you play on the strings into an electrical signal and transport them to the amp. So if you put those pickups in front of the amp, you'll blow those critters' heads off. If you share this secret, maybe all the surviving musicians will turn up the volume on their amps and wipe out these creepy aliens. That was terrifying. Anyway, you can finally listen to some music and relax. I hope that the tour guide was helpful, and be sure to survive these sons of b**ches. *There's a part two. P.S. Regan Abbott (the deaf girl, Millicent Simmonds) had to play the feedback to not only knock the alien out, but expose the armour, and as it got back up, Evelyn (Emily Blunt) could put it out of its misery with a Browning BPS shotgun.

[@jeffreynolin9339]

When I was in high school, I started to work for my new neighbor, cleaning out his cow and calf barns. He had been pulled into a piece farm machinery, a couple years before, which had taken his leg to the knee, ripped open his chest, and taken an eye and part of his jaw, nose & skull. Farming and farmers are no joke. He still milked his 60 cows and worked in the fields every day.

[@Rforriot27]

I saw this in theaters and I couldn’t finish my popcorn because I was so insecure about how loud I was crunching because it was so quiet 😅😅😅😅😂😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@adrasteia7092]

I love the quiet place movies, I usually don't like horror but these films were just the right amount of suspense and drama to balance out the horror. It would be great to see you react to a series called Killing Eve, it's kind of a dark comedy and it's got a wonderful cast.

[@cieljek]

Anyone else get a full belly laugh when Nat said she was gonna try to stay quiet 😂

[@michaelbriefs9764]

You definitely want to see A Quiet Place II! It's SO, so good!

[@thomashiggins9320]

I think it's less "aliens," for you, than it is great writing and fine acting, with solid characters in a compelling story. Those are great ingredients in any genre, including horror and suspense.

[@Owlsandoatmeal]

Isn't it so well done? I'm not one for scary movies usually either, but I've watched both "A Quiet Place" and it's sequel multiple times so far. I love how they focus a lot on the actual family, it's intense but not overly gory, the music and cinematography are beautiful, and the sound design is so strong, plus while it's so sad, I like how it wraps up on a hopeful note, showing that they have a way to fight back now. And I love how they balance the more intense moments with some really sweet moments, too, like the waterfall moment and the dancing scene. Plus there's so many thoughtful worldbuilding elements, like the sand paths to make their steps quieter, and the Monopoly board using softer pieces so they're not as loud, either. The second one is really well done, too! I'm excited to see your reaction to it, if you decide to make a reaction video to it! :)

[@Jean-Boner]

Appreciation post for Nat's pearly whites. I'd be smiling all day long. I be jealous.

[@iceboxx887]

John’s push for a deaf female and making people learn to sign with her is EPIC!!! Such a great actor/director for this movie

[@JS-ct3kr]

This was such a unique theater experience. So damn quiet.

[@Jungkith]

Patiently waiting for her reation to Day One😌 she’s gonna BAWLLL

[@andreraymond6860]

It's her fourth pregnancy, so a quick delivery makes sense. Often the first baby takes longer than all the subsequent ones to be born. By the fourth one the mother is just cranking them out. I wonder if that was part of Krazinski's and Blunt's discussions on set.

[@rokoplayzandmore7812]

The whole farm being a whole horror is accurate. Over the years on living on a farm: -The farm help got crushed by bales (luckily unharmed) -The farm help got trampled by TWO cows (got out with broken arm and ribs) -A cow or bull (can't remember which) took out one of the tractor door windows almost tipping it in the process. -My stepdad fell in the slurry pit (it luckily wasn't full) -My stepdads leg got broken by a pole while mixing the slurry pit. This is only the stuff I can remember, I know there's more.

[@txmothy]

I’m not a big horror movie fan, so I didn’t think there would be a reaction I’d be looking forward to this month… I was wrong. I love this movie. Can’t wait for you to see the sequel as well.

[@kdindore1990]

A Quiet Place is such a great, heart wrenching film. I loved it so much. John Krazinski performed SO well in this movie. So did the rest of the cast.

[@savagemonkey2343]

You should watch the original Blair Witch Project

[@kbdemonbain4568]

this movie at least in my opinion shows great acting in its purest form. to give that type of emotions with no words/sound was masterful

[@johncee853]

Part 2 is also great! "Babies cry for years until they realize that they can stop...crying." Nat, you are beyond perfect.

[@julieornelas3787]

Is it too morbid for me to say that I’d use that baby as bait to lure out the monsters? 🫣

[@phousefilms]

Lol, I'm such a quiet person, I know I would survive this scenario. You, not so much, XD. Millicent Simmonds(Regan, the daughter)is actually ASL and her mother taught her family how to do sign language so her family could communicate with her. Simmonds taught the rest of the family cast, if I remember correctly, and each has a different way of signing. Nope, not spiders. They're some kind of horrible alien/demogorgon whose head is just a gigantic ear drum and impenetrable armour. Thats just freaky. Better than acting. Krasinski and Blunt are actually married, so great that their love comes out on screen! :)
