A Quiet Place starts with racking up the tension which doesn't let up in a nerve-shredding for the entire runtime of the film. The premise is simple, we get no backstory as to why the family have to stay silent, but within 5 minutes of an unexpected moment, we can see what the consequence of making noise is.

From then on your focus is firmly set on this one family as they strive to stay safe in what seems like a helpless situation. I enjoyed this film immensely. I found it to be nerve wrecking at times and so tense to watch i had to try catch my breath a few occasions as i had been holding it so long.

It is the silence for a majority of the film that makes this work and i was grateful for a silent cinema hall (this i will go back to) I found myself caring for the characters (rare in horror) and hoping for a positive outcome.

It also doesn't suffer from an overlong runtime and in my opinion is not for the most part predictable.Those who like a decent movie monster i feel will be pleasantly surprised i believe as well.
