We just watched A Quiet Place which I actually enjoyed. It was about my level of scary, all about the tension and suspense but at a PG-13 kind of way. It felt like a missing chapter of the Cloverfield story, but maybe that was the the creature design. It was a TENSE 90 minutes.

I'm a horror person in general, but I really loved A Quiet Place. I tend to wait on horror movies till they hit dvd, but I'm glad I saw this one in theatres. I felt like a movie that was almost completely silent would a rare theatre experience and it was ( ... )
