A Quiet Place — How to Ruin Fear in 7 Seconds

The sequel is going to be named "loud place". It's going to be about peaceful monsters hiding from that woman with a shotgun.

“How to ruin fear” “Film perfection” Visible confusion

I could see them showing that scene in broad daylight being a way of showing that you are never safe. Wherever you are, if you make a sound, you are dead......so a thriller, not a horror....

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." -H.P. Lovecraft

bird box is a perfect example of why you still need to show some of the monster, leaves blowing around gets real old real fast and isn't scary

Horror is fear, thriller is tension. Fear requires the unknown , tension requires the know.

I dunno, it's a common trope for the monsters to only be out at night, and for you to only be vulnerable in the dark. I think it's a scary thought that the monster can get you no matter how bright it is outside, no matter how safe you feel.

The creepiest scenes of the movie were when the girl never knew the monster was there because she was deaf. That movie was masterful in building tension.

I think the bigger problem is the CGI removal of the creatures mustache.

i remember that moment when the boy was killed my girlfriend started laughing hysterically. i think she might be a psychopathic killer

This movie provided me the best cinema experience I have ever had, the fact that an entire audience unanimously decided to not dare make a noise during the silence is why I respect this movie and it's concept so much Good film, 8/10

The one thing I will say in defense of that choice is by sticking with your "It Follows" analogy. The reason that "It Follows" falls apart during the beach scene is because when the monster finally catches up to the protagonist, we see that all it does is punch people and throw chairs. That is not scary.... however Here, in "Quiet Place," the danger that these creatures represents is unmistakably established early on. They don't punch or throw chairs. They don't do something like capture and take people back to some sort of hive or ship, where there would be the possibility of later rescue before that person is killed, or impregnated, or fed to the queen alien, or whatever. With these creatures, if you make noise then it is instant and certain death. While spoiling some of the fear of the unknown, this effectively raises the stakes and makes it clear that this isn't the typical horror movie villain that stalks his prey and only strikes from the shadows when a character is alone. Instead, these things just immediately and violently kill anyone who makes noise, day or night, adult or child, alone or in a group. Also, without pausing the film, the thing flies by so quickly that it didn't entirely spoil the monsters for me because I think that is different than when we get a good, in focus look at them later with their massive jaws and weird faces. Just my two cents anyways

Quiet place: the day the military apparently took a break

The thing is, this movie isn't really about the horror. It's a survival movie, not a horror movie.

Filmento: how the quiet place ruins fear in seven seconds Title: film perfection Me: Confused confusing confusion

I’m not saying he doesn’t know what he’s talking about but the movie wasn’t meant to be solely about the monsters but was more about the love of the family and the scene where Boe dies and the later scenes of the entire family grieving was meant to show how much they loved him tying into the theme familial love. Still I respect his opinions anyways
