A
Quiet Place has turned
out to not only be what John Krasinski's career needed to get
out of its post-Office slump, but also what the American moviegoing public needed to get their butts off the couch and into the
theater during an unseasonably cold spring weekend.
Rounding
out the Top 5 in Fandango's horror category
of most anticipated is The Purge: The Island in third place, Insidious: The Last Key (now in
theaters) in fourth, and A
Quiet Place (written and directed by John Krasinski and starring Emily Blunt) in fifth.
There is very little dialogue in the film, with long stretches playing
out in the relative
quiet of sound effects and sparse music that made every cough and seat shift in the
theater a part
of the building tension.
The first few shocks that pierce the
quiet are jarring and explosive, as they should be, and the
theater practically quaked
out of their seats with the impact, but there are indulgent moments as the film's runtime wears on that feel cheaper and derivative.
