A Quiet Place

Movie · 2018

A post-apocalyptic horror thriller about a family surviving in total silence to hide from creatures that hunt by sound. It is a genuinely well-crafted film, but its sustained dread, jump scares, child peril, and on-screen blood make it heavy going even for many adults.

Teens 13 and up who enjoy suspenseful horror; not recommended for children or sensitive viewers of any age.
