However, A Quiet Place, for all its willingness to break tradition with a lot of other horror movies, is vastly more reliant than it should be on one of the most familiar tropes in the genre: the jump scare. Outside of one tender scene between the parental units of this family, there’s not a single scene in the film where the spoken dialogue rises to the volume of a normal conversation.
A QUIET PLACE NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS MOVIE
(Whatever details we get about these creatures is visual, primarily through newspaper clippings that the father has collected as he’s tried to gain knowledge about whatever weaknesses they might have.) Unlike other big genre films that start minimalistic before getting more expansive, such as the 2007 sci-fi movie I Am Legend, A Quiet Place rarely wavers from having its protagonists speak only through American Sign Language, in part because the daughter is deaf. The premise of A Quiet Place is novel, as is the pic’s willingness to eschew spoken exposition about the inexplicable, terrifying monsters. The majority of the action takes place over two days when the four family members (almost five, as Blunt’s character is very pregnant with an upcoming due date) go on separate journeys around the house, only to face off against the monsters. After a year of the monsters devouring anyone and anything in earshot, this stoic family survives through caution: Though they walk around their house and visit the local pharmacy, they’ve paved a specific path with sand to minimize the sound of their feet on the ground they play board games like Monopoly, but do so with makeshift pieces of fabric, instead of clunky metallic game pieces and so on. When the film opens, they’ve got three kids, but after a vicious attack by one of the monsters in a pre-title sequence, they have only their eldest daughter (Millicent Simmonds) and a son (Noah Jupe) with them in a farmhouse in the woods. Real-life married couple Krasinski and Blunt play husband and wife in A Quiet Place.
