A Quiet Place is one of the 2018’s first unexpected hits. If you haven’t seen it, Rotten Tomatoes sums the film up thusly: “A family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. If they hear you, they hunt you.”
The film took people by surprise, both because of its innovative use of sound, (and the lack of it), to ratchet up the tension, as well as the fact that its director, John Krasinski, is mostly known for playing mostly likable characters in comedies. By combining those elements, the film manages to scare the pants off you.
And as with anything that becomes popular nowadays, fans have been posting about it incessantly on social media.
