John Krasinski’s high-concept horror film is about monsters drawn to sound — and a family living in constant, muffled dread.

After the premiere of A Quiet Place at SXSW, the film’s director, John Krasinski, explained that he picked up the script after a simple pitch: “What if it’s a family, and they can’t make noise, and you have to figure out why?” This explanation goes a long way toward illustrating A Quiet Place’s goals. The film hits all the necessary beats for a straightforward horror film in an eerie post-apocalyptic setting.

The razor-toothed, spindle-legged interlopers are frightening, but it’s almost creepier to watch Blunt and Krasinski’s characters calmly prepare to muffle the first cries of their newborn child. Being able to perfectly predict the monsters’ behavior also makes failure seem unforgivable. Simmonds’ character, who is deaf, feels particularly responsible for her brother’s death: she gives him the toy and doesn’t realize the danger until it’s too late.
