A Quiet Place could have been your typical horror flick: gorier, less gratifying and bleak.
One would not expect the male lead to die, the disabled daughter to find the monster’s weakness or the nurturing mother of three to shoot and kill it, but that’s what happens in A Quiet Place.
But John Krasinski and his filmmaking team decided to tell a unique story, with a shocking ending.
In addition to the star power of the Hollywood couple’s first collaboration on screen, its terrifying premise of the fear of silence as a main device and its critical success each raised up the film to become one of the unexpected movie successes of 2018.
