"John Krasinski's sci-fi horror masterpiece, A Quiet Place, made me snap to attention after its shocking first death, and I remained 100 percent engrossed from that point on. Knowing that no character is off limits from the deadly, sound-hunting aliens (not even the small children) raises the stakes in such a significant way that it's impossible not to sit rapt as you watch Krasinski and real-life wife Emily Blunt try to protect their offspring from the dystopian horrors lurking just outside. One of the many refreshing aspects of the film is it doesn't spend precious minutes explaining how the aliens came to earth, how many other survivors are out there, or even what's up with the government — it drops us straight into the action and ratchets up the tension with each scene until you find yourself gasping for air. Everything about the film is excellent, but Blunt in particular gives a jaw-dropping performance." — QK
