A Quiet Place (2018)
As with all recent over hyped modern horrors (The Babadook, It Follows, Lights Out, Don't Breathe) A Quiet Place is a one trick pony that quickly becomes tiresome.
Having said that it's also by far the best of the one trick pony films by a long distance. Performances are great and questions i immediately came up with were answered as the film went along, although i still can't believe the couple were irresponsible enough to bring a baby into a world where it had to be silent.
Innovative yet a bit dull too and certainly gimmicky in a William Castle sense, although in Castle's day you'd have been given something when you entered the screening such as ear amplifiers or some such like to enable you to still get what was going on without the annoyance of tearing your eyes from your smart phone.
