Eldest daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds) – who is deaf, a nice touch – blames herself for her brother's death, and thinks her dad does, too. Not that the family doesn't go through hell, because they do they are grieving the death of a son, which fractures their unit beyond surface-level grief.

But it's also what keeps the film safe – arguably to a fault. It's funny that it works so well considering Krasinski's admission that he's was "never was a big horror guy, because I was just too scared." It was the family stuff that drew him in, and their dynamic is what truly anchors A Quiet Place. Veteran horror composter Marco Beltrami is a real asset here, adding flavor to the film without overloading on it. It lives and breathes horror tropes, trickling out details that pay off later – like an unfortunately placed jagged nail, or stringed lights that glisten red in danger – and ramping up the tension and scares in the third act.

It's an accessible window into the horror genre for non-fans, but it's full of heart instead of fire.īut make no mistake: A Quiet Place is firmly a horror movie. But it's also an aggressively clean piece of genre filmmaking clean in every sense of the word, as blood is sparse, the darker things left unseen, and the things that should be truly frightening – like silently giving birth – are relatively anemic.

Even dyed-in-the-wool horror fans seem to agree its a fun ride. The film made $50 million in its opening weekend – the second-highest domestic release of the year so far, after Black Panther – and has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's certainly a popular horror movie.
