Movie Review – A Quiet Place Part II

A Quiet Place 2 is like a delicious sauce left to simmer until only the essentials remain; at under 90 minutes runtime, not counting the end credits, it walks the fine line between not one scene feeling rushed, nor one that drags on longer than necessary. It is a masterful work of storytelling. If there’s […]

Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life?

A Quiet Place – Movie Analysis with SPOILERS

I thoroughly enjoyed A Quiet Place, even though I can’t do horror movies. But, you know what?

A Quiet Place 2 Announced

Shhhhhhhh. No, really, don’t make a sound. Not even when we announce that A Quiet Place has a sequel scheduled already! (Confirmed by Paramount.)
