Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
    • Excerpt: Keeping within the traditions of a horror and science-fiction film, A Quiet Place draws from the past to create something original: a logical film that brings its frights less through gore than through genuine tension.
  • Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish]
  • Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
    • Excerpt:  As in all the best horror films, the tropes address primal fears in ways that are simple to process, but no less unsettling because of it.
  • Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
    • Excerpt: For a film of this type, and a director who hasn’t done anything like this before, for it to be as experimental as it is, as crowd pleasing as it is, as artfully crafted and polished as it is, and all of that being packed in a lean, mean package, is one hell of an accomplishment.
  • Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered
    • Excerpt: John Krasinski orchestrates a loud and ferocious symphony of sonic scares that will assert A Quiet Place as one of the year’s most terrorizing films.
  • M. Enois Duarte @ High-DefDigest.com
    • Excerpt: An artfully-crafted and cleverly designed horror film driven by intense white-knuckle suspense from the talents of John Krasinski, A Quiet Place is actually a drama about overcoming a family tragedy told in the guise of a horror movie.
  • James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
  • [New] | Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
    • Excerpt: Part of what made horror once so effective was its ability to frighten without a word, or with the aid of only a haunting musical cue. “A Quiet Place” upends horror convention with its almost dialogue-free refreshment of the genre.
  • Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
    • Excerpt: Parenting is hard. Especially when even the slightest noise attracts the unwanted attention of toothy, altogether terrifying creatures that will rip then entrails from both you and your spawn.
  • Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
  • Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
    • Excerpt: While it works on the level of surviving an onslaught of otherworldly beings, its true merit comes in how that onslaught exposes their humanity—through both heroism and failure. The highest praise I can give is to say the Abbotts feel like a real family.
  • Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
  • João Pinto @ Portal CInema [Portuguese]
    • Excerpt: Creative and Tense! A Quiet Place deserves a Spot on the Top 3 Best Horror Films of 2018!
  • Kristy Puchko @ Pajiba.com
    • Excerpt: A Quiet Place feels fiercely original, risky, and undeniably frightening and fun.
  • Júlio Cézar Rodrigues @ Megalomania Cultural [Portuguese]
  • Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
    • Excerpt: John Krasinski’s almost-silent horror movie is an instant classic!
