By now you’ve probably heard the chorus of people singing the praises about director/co-writer/starJohn Krasinski’sA Quiet Place. So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when I tell you it’s as awesome as the buzz says. Krasinski has crafted one of the best horror films I’ve seen in a long time.
Unlike some movies that have a great creature with a bad story, or characters that you care about in a senseless situation, Krasinski has set up a world where you believe what the film is selling and you really care about the characters on screen. It also helps that ILM designed a kick-ass, original monster that will have you on the edge of your seat whenever it creeps out from the shadows.
Look, I could go on and on telling you how great this movie is, but all you need to know is if you want to have a great time at the movies and see something awesome, check outA Quiet Placethis weekend. You’ll be happy you did. For more on the filmwatch the trailer here.A Quiet Placealso starsEmily Blunt,Noah JupeandMillicent Simmonds.
Last week I got to sit down with John Krasinski for an exclusive video interview. He talked about whyA Quiet Placewas such a personal film and a love letter to his kids, why he changed the look of the creature deep in post-production, why this was the tightest post-production schedule he’s ever worked on, if it was a challenge working with his wife, why he wanted the movie to feel like a western, and a lot more. In addition, sinceLicense to Wed, I’ve always talked Dunkin Donuts with Krasinski because we’re both from New England. Of course I had to bring it up in this interview…
