A Quiet Place, but a big buzz

Today was the last day "A Quiet Place" is playing at my theater, so I gave it a go. I tried once before, to no avail, as I had to leave because the audience wouldn't shut the fuck up, but no worries. Not like I'm paying for this shit anyway...

So I went to see what the big deal was, and what do you know... overhyped! Now, it ain't a bad movie. For Hollywood/PG-13 standards, it's pretty decent, but I still don't get why it lasted so long in theaters. Bitch lasted a month and a half, which is good for horror movies.

I don't know... it's okay. Some characters were making dumb decisions, and it tried to be a deep and emotional movie. It kinda works, but it kinda seems like it's trying too hard.

The creature design was nice. I liked how his head and sensors were. Kinda reminded me of the Shriekers from Tremors, but on a larger, more humanoid body. The grainery scene was decent, and it made me think of Dark Night of the Scarecrow. Rural/farm settings are underutilized in horror these days, but we get plenty of it in this movie.

Maybe I'm being biased because I don't want to jump on the Hollywood PG-13 bandwagon, but I still think the movie was a little overhyped. They've already got a sequel lined up, and everybody's raving about John Krazinski's directing, so will we have a franchise?
