• A Quiet Place

    It turns out that watching a family look very, very sad while doing fuck
    all - very, very quietly - for 90 minutes DOESN'T make a great movie. And throwing in a jump scare every 15 minutes DOESN'T make a great horror movie either.

    With nothing to occupy you on the screen, you can't help noticing the
    numerous plot holes and general stupidity of it all. Haven't these slack
    cunts ever heard of egg boxes? If the monsters are attracted by loud
    noises, why didn't they set a number of remotely controlled decoys about
    the place or have things such as petrol bombs which they could throw when
    out and about? If the monsters can be killed by a gunshot to the head, the noise of which attracts shitloads more of the things, why didn't the army
    deal with them in 10 fucking minutes? Trump's America for you.

    It forced teenagers to be quiet in theaters. It was a miracle.

    I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought it was shit.

    The most massive of which was the idea that babies don't generate any
    kind of sound.

    I think they were suggesting that high-frequency sound caused their
    normally armoured heads to be exposed.

    I heard many good things about this one. Rented it and didn't like it any
    more than you did. It's a classic example of what Ebert called the "idiot plot"; i.e. if every character wasn't an idiot, the movie would be over in
    five minutes.

    And I'm a bit sick of the pretention that if fuck all happens it somehow
    makes a film a work of genius. I've read a lot of reviews praising the
    use of sound in this - what, fucking JUMP SCARES?

    Sometimes if fuck all happens, it's just because they're trying to make 20 minutes' worth of plot last two hours.

    Am I the only one here who liked it? It is well acted, there's some
    blood and gore, and the tension remained constant throughout the run
    time. Granted, the plot is a bit flimsy but I never found a dull moment
    in the ninety minute run time.

    I was reminded of TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD and THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE
    DARK while watching. Surprisingly, those films had more of a plot.
