monopoly said in a near future where
noise-sensitive creatures run rampant
this film centers on the Abbott family
who must live in seclusion and remain
quiet at all times the kids keep
themselves occupied by playing Monopoly
which seems like a safe enough activity
their fates are nearly sealed with a
roll of the dice however as Marcus
cool under even the most heated
circumstances Lee quickly puts out the
fire but that doesn’t make it any less
nerve-racking as we wait to see if the
coast is clear although they remain safe
and sound
this scene demonstrates how even playing
a simple board game is a risk in this
dangerous setting number nine bloody
hand as a movie with little dialogue a
quiet place is largely carried by its
haunting visuals and emotive
performances with his wife going into
labor
his kids missing and a monster loose Lee
still manages to remain focused as he
investigates the darkly lit house it
appears all hope is lost as he follows a
trail of bloody footprints upstairs and
uncovers an empty bathtub with more
traces of blood as the grief-stricken
Lee lets his defences down both he and
the audience are caught off guard when a
we’re all able to let out a sigh of
relief as it’s revealed that Evelyn and
her newborn baby are alive number eight
crying baby the birth of Lee and
Evelyn’s son is one of the few joyous
moments in the film this happy occasion
also creates some obvious problems
though as newborns have a tendency to
cry there’s no time to waste
as Lee rushes both his exhausted wife
and baby to a soundproof basement
although they make it underground just
before the prowling creature catches
them the paranoia doesn’t end there Lee
is forced to place the little one in an
insulated coffin with an oxygen mask to
keep him breathing with so much that
could potentially go wrong this scene
will most certainly get under your skin
whether you’re a protective parent or
simply claustrophobic number seven truck
attack after losing one child Lee
refuses to watch any of his other family
members die this builds to a terrifying
not to mention tragic scene in which a
monster tracks down Regan and Marcos
inside a truck influencing Lee to make
the ultimate sacrifice before shifting
the creatures attention away from his
children Lee signs his final heartfelt
words to Regan the audience is left
completely speechless as Lee lets out a
brave scream and the Beast charges after
what makes Lee’s death especially
gut-wrenching is that it could have been
avoided had Regan known at the time that
her cochlear implant was the key to
fending off these creatures number six
screaming old man
as cautious as the Abbott family is
there are some unforeseen circumstances
that can’t be prepared for making their
way through the woods me and Marcus
encounter an old man standing over his
wife’s corpse part of what makes this
moment so jarring is that these
characters come out of nowhere
and we never learn their backstory the
shocked devastated look on the old man’s
face tells us everything we need to know
however unable to keep it together he
lets out a scream while Lea and Marcus
you can tell from the expression on the
old man’s face that he’s accepted his
fate as a creature ambushes him from
behind number five
bow at the bridge Regan attempts to
bring a little fun into her
four-year-old brother’s life by giving
him a toy rocket early on she didn’t
count on beau taking batteries from the
store though our hearts sank and our
spines stiffened as beau obviously
activates the noisy toy on a bridge Lee
races after his son but the creature
lurking in the trees is faster this not
only serves as a brilliant introduction
to the monsters it also establishes
upfront that the film is not afraid to
kill off children Bo’s demise sticks
with the audience for the rest of the
movie constantly reminding us that these
characters could be torn to shreds at
the drop of a pin number four flooded
basement when Evelyn and her newborn
seek refuge in the basement it’s panic
inducing to say the least the filmmakers
only pile on to the stressful situation
when Evelyn wakes up to discover the
basement flooding we feel all of
Evelyn’s dread as a stream of water
overflows around her infant son’s cradle
with a creature scavenging in the
background the red lighting just adds to
the trauma we’re experiencing carefully
retrieving the baby
Evelyn restrains herself from screaming
as the creature emerges out of the water
right in front of her fortunately Evelyn
is able to use the environment to her
advantage as she hides behind the
pouring water blocking out her baby’s
number three drowning in silo
what’s more horrifying than drowning in
water
how about drowning in a grain silo in
this ingeniously shot sequence Markus
plummets down a silos hatch door and
Regan dives in after him grain
entrapment is more common than you may
think
which makes the scene more relatable and
therefore more alarming both children
almost suffocate as they sink into the
sea of corn while the siblings pull
through together their problems are just
the noise attracts one of the monsters
which comes crashing into the silo Regan
inadvertently chases it off by changing
the frequency on our implant but the
monster leaves a giant hole in the silo
[Music]
number two the opening from its opening
scene a quiet place submerges the viewer
into an unrelenting state of anxiety
that’s primarily because it drops us in
the middle of a seemingly abandoned town
where all he’ll apparently broke loose a
wall of missing persons posters informs
us that this place has been riddled with
death and tragedy from there we’re
introduced to the few lucky survivors as
they search for supplies it’s also
established that Regan is deaf as we
shift between her perspective and her
brother’s exemplifying this movie’s
remarkable use of sound and sound
editing although we don’t entirely know
what’s happening yet the foreboding
atmosphere is enough to make us shudder
in our seats
number one the nail this sequence is
simply a perfect storm of terror in
which everything that could possibly go
wrong for these characters slowly
unfolds
Evelyn goes into labor early while alone
at the house which would be distressing
even without any deadly monsters about
it’s impossible not to cringe as Evelyn
steps on an exposed nail causing her to
drop a fragile picture frame she summons
the strength to signal her family but a
creature has already arrived at the
house words cannot describe just how
petrifying it is watching Evelyn give
birth in a bathtub while Marcus sets off
fireworks far away as a distraction
we’ll just let the intense imagery speak
