John Krasinski’s 2018 horror film, A Quiet Place, made a big splash in the horror world, and it’s a great representation for fans of the genre. The film takes place in a world where creatures that hunt by sound have taken over, and a family must navigate this new reality in silence to survive.
The film’s success can be attributed to its no-gore, no-scare approach, which focuses on suspense and clever plot instead. The impressive performance from John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, as well as the captivating plot, drew in a large audience, not just horror fans.
For those who enjoyed A Quiet Place, here are some other horror films worth checking out:
Bird Box (2018) – Directed by Susanne Bier, this Netflix original is based on Josh Malerman’s 2014 novel of the same name. The film follows Malorie Hayes, a mother of two, as she tries to get her children to safety after realizing that the demonic entities that are ravaging the world only affect their victims through their eyes.
Alien franchise – The classic science fiction horror franchise follows the crew of a spaceship as they are picked off one by one by a deadly alien creature. The series explores the themes of survival in a desolate environment, much like A Quiet Place.
In Alien, the characters face a new kind of threat, as they are trapped in outer space, making their journey even more perilous. Both A Quiet Place and Alien are notable for their frightening and well-developed extraterrestrial characters, which create a sense of constant danger from the beginning to the end.
