It was an excellent movie. But......


It was an excellent movie and flawlessly executed from start to finish. The only thing is that, like a lot of movies, there are large elements of other movies in A Quiet Place.

The setting is sort of like Signs crossed over with Jeepers Creepers. I say that because the monster is somewhat similar to that in Jeepers Creepers while the outback is similar to Signs.

Next up, we have the post-apocalyptic eeriness which gives it an "I Am Legend" type feeling. It also takes a leaf out of the book so-to-speak from the "Revolution" TV Series.

There are probably countless other cliches from other works I can think of. Then again, most movies and TV shows these days re-use plot points and story structures from others. So, complete and total originality is very rare.

Nevertheless, I was on the edge of my seat from the get go and the scarcity of dialogue is a large factor in this. I would say well worth a watch for thrill seekers.

I wonder if the Creeper could beat these things in a fight? I bet he could. I love thinking about shit like that.

That would be amazing to watch, and 10 x more original than alien vs predator.

I watched It comes at night just before halloween and the first 20-30 minutes gave me a deja vu from that one.
