Actors: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent
Simmonds, Noah Jup
Rating: 9 out of 10, A very
interesting and tension filled (in a good way) experience. Real life husband
and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt portray a couple with three small
children trying to survive by staying absolutely quiet because incredibly
vicious, indestructible monsters hunt by sound alone and have already killed off
most of the human population, not to mention racoons. The movie opens in drug
store in a deserted town as the family is scavenging needed drugs before tip
toeing home on carefully laid out sand paths. They should have stopped by the
birth control aisle because the movie jumps forward in time as Blunt is
preparing to give birth under these silent conditions. We all know the one
thing never associated with that process and the aftermath is silence. It was
weird sitting through a movie in almost complete quiet and this draws the
viewer into the world this family is confronting. A great horror movie with
unrelenting tension and a very satisfying conclusion, well worth a watch.
MVP: Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott at
the top of her game during the birth scenes
