So I just got out of #AQuietPlace & boy it was dumb.
Okay good things first. The cinematography, acting, gimmick of very little sound including voices, & concept were all fantastic. There were a few bullshit jump scares, but most of the scenes had good tension.

I probably won't recommend going to see it in theaters, especially if you have Misophonia like I do because you might sit next to a asshat who shovels handfuls of crunchy popcorn into his gaping maw through the entire movie.... but
@quietplacemovie is definitely worth a rental.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
Okay, SPOILERS! Dear god there was just so much wrong with everything. I honestly kept getting pulled out of the story because the flaws were so glaring. 1. These things are the easiest thing to kill EVER. Just strap a radio to someone explosives & blow them up.

No it's possible that their exoskeletons would protect them from that, but if their head thing was open at the time they would 100% be dead if a shotgun could kill them. 2. If they don't attack natural sounds why wouldn't you just get massive speakers & blaring white noise 24/7

3. Speaking of blaring music, WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY GET POWER FROM!? They never show this. Is it solar power? A generator? What? 4. What the fuck was with that old man? What kind of a stupid fucking asshole stands by his dead wife & waits to kill himself until a kid shows up?

5. The nail. The god damn fucking NAIL! Why was that nail even there!? Who puts a nail UP through the middle of a step? Did one of the kids watch Home Alone of their TV that got magical power? Why would you just bend the nail over instead of cutting it off?

Still going on about that nail. If you are carrying something up stairs & it gets caught, why would you keep pulling on it!? Also why the fuck wouldn't you check to see what it was caught on!!!!???? Okay I'm done talking about the nail.

6. I loved all of the touches on how these people sound proofed everything. It was one of my favorite things about the movie. The production & props were very good, but why would you hang ANYTHING on a wall? That shit could fall at any minute & kill everyone.

7. If people knew that these things are basically giant ear crabs wouldn't the very first experiments be to try to make sounds to hurt them? 8. Did I miss them showing speakers in that basement? At the end she uses the radio, but

a. I don't think they showed that if you unplug the headphones the sound would play through speakers & b. Why the fuck would the speakers be playing what they were TRANSMITTING!? Can this thing hear radio waves? Why didn't it hear all the other transmissions he sent out?

Yikes. I honestly didn't realize how many problems I had with this movie. There might even be more, but that's all I can think of now. What a mess...

Replying to @grampaglasses
I don't mean offense either, but I stand by what I said. Sorry, I don't think you resolved any of my problems with the movie.
