Critique of the movie "A Quiet Place" by Jamaica Mae Pajal

                                        A Quiet Place



         A Quiet place keeps the silence ,but forgoes the other elements.
The film takes place in a post apocalyptic world where a family struggles to live amidst invasion by blind creatures who want to eat everything they eat.It's rural area,but three local creatures assign names to the family members,the father,the mother,the daugther and the son.A little card read that its day 87.The family gently scolds the youngest child when he nabs a battery-powered spaceship;soon,its becomes clear why.Scattered news papers identify the threat as nationwide.A basement workshop is filled with hearing aids
,which the father thinkers with beside a dry erase board asking what the "weakness" could be.The mother is expecting a baby.Way to go mother and father,you're bringing a child into this bleak world with no discernable quality   of life and an excellent of chance that its crying will get it killed.The film has been eager to advertise its gimmick of containing almost no dialogue.The  family communicates using sign language , which they knew even before the invasion because the dauther is deaf.If the aliens are that good at picking up on sounds,cheat tactics like the family walking everywhere barefoot and distractiin them with substitute sounds.The movie wants us to draw into its tense atmosphere but having to stay quiet to avoid detection.For me,this is a movie about half witted people outwitting dimwitted creatures.But it was still trilling because of the children nerly got eaten by the aliens.Theres still something unsatisfying about the ending it self.Ofcourse we want to know what will happen next when the aliens came to thir house bacause of the gunshot.It deliver the shock trough my spine that made me shiver.Also the background sounds make it more trilling  like you can make jumpscares.This movie has just more of those scenes than usual.Its a vivid world ,idyllic but interwoven with an invisible ,rippling head.The action itself is thoroughly absorbing.
