A Quiet Place 5/10
I watched the entire movie but I just couldn't get into it because I felt the writing was so piss poor. I mean if the monsters are supposed to be attracted to sounds, how come none of them came when the man and woman were blasting music? Or when him and his daughter were outside talking? Or when it bad when a baby was making baby noises and one of the Munsters was about five or six feet from it? Or the mother giving birth and screaming but making it out alive with her baby? I just honestly can't see how these things go unnoticed considering I don't have a college education in filmmaking but I am able to pick out such flaws in the logic behind the story telling that it just makes it seem like it was half-assed from the start with no intentions of going back and actually making it seem believable. I mean the creatures themselves were a rip-off and appearance of the creature from stranger things and then if that wasn't enough everything down to the noises it made were a ripoff of the creatures from The Descent. I mean before I even saw the movie that's what I thought of but I guess they found it necessary to put the rapid clicking sounds in there that the creatures from The Descent made right? All-in-all I find this movie horribly overrated and very badly written. I gave it a five because the acting was actually great and I don't blame the actors for what they are given to work with when all they want at the end of the day is a paycheck. I mean if it wasn't for the way the creatures were ripping off other creatures or just the terrible logic in the writing I might have given this a much higher score.
