One family of survivors is living in a farmhouse in New England: a father ( John Krasinski), a mother ( Emily Blunt), two young sons ( Noah Jupe and Cade Woodward), and a daughter ( Millicent Simmonds), who is deaf.
We pick up 89 days into an event that seems to have wiped out most of Earth’s population. The story - from a screenplay co-written by Bryan Woods, Scott Beck, and John Krasinski, who also directs and stars - is post-apocalyptic, set in the very near future, around 2020. It does this in a few ways: in the story, in the characters themselves, and in the filmmaking. The best thing A Quiet Place does is foreground our sense of hearing. A Quiet Place uses our sense of hearing to immerse us in a frightening, visceral story Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe in A Quiet Place. The result is frightening, and it feels wholly original.
(Which actually may not sound too out-there to some new parents.)īut people are people, even when they’re being hunted by giant ear monsters - and A Quiet Place taps into that dread, terror, and love. In this case, it’s a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind, apparently extraterrestrial creatures that are triggered into a murderous rage by any sound. In A Quiet Place, that common human experience is parenthood - wanting to protect your children, fearing losing them, and trying to raise them in a hostile world.
