Never sleeping again after...*A QUIET PLACE* | First Time Watching | (reaction/commentary/review) 

Watching this in cinema was really an experience because it literally turned into a Quiet Place for the whole movie.

The young actress in the role of their daughter is actually deaf in real life and John Krasinski (since this is his movie) had the whole cast (even crew I think) learn sign language to be able to communicate with her and make the movie as authentic as possible 🥰

So the drowning in corn in silos is a real thing, and it kills on average 1-2 people per year. It’s the corn shifting, filling in empty space because more force is being applied to it.

The end scene of Emily blunt cocking that shotgun gives me goosebumps what an actor she can portray any and all emotions known to mankind while being perfectly silent! True artist and John was also beyond phenomenal in this role. One of my all time favorite book adaptations.

Love the scene in the cornfield, one's blind, one's deaf, neither ever knew the other was right there

Gotta say watching this in the movie theater was a life time experience. I WAS AFRAID OF EATING POPCORN TOO LOUDLY

You really nailed the family walk thing. Should ALWAYS be a parent in front and parent in back.

Im glad you knew drowning in corn is a real thing. I've seen lots of reactors who think that is silly. Grain entrapment is definitely real and very dangerous. 'Workers in the grain can become entrapped in three different ways: an apparently stable surface may in fact be a "grain bridge" over an area beneath which the grain has already settled; a vertical mass of grain settled against a wall may suddenly give way while being cleared; moving grain will not support the weight of an average person. Once entrapment begins, it happens very quickly due to the suction-like action of the grain.' Once you are knee-deep or so it becomes basically impossible to get out on your own. The weight of the grain won't crush you, but you will slowly suffocate unless you find an air pocket and people are actively trying to help you.

the dad sacrifing hilself for his children always made me tear

21:36 - I genuinely believe that ONLY these two could’ve played these roles. You can feel their actual love, and I truly forgot for a moment that these weren’t their actual children. Brava Emily, Brava.

Tfw you realize this highly intense movie is made by freakin Jim from The Office

Dry drowning is so scary! At the state fair here in Indiana there's usually a lil exhibition around that has you try to pull a rope from corn and it's basically impossible

11:38 "I wonder if living in naturally noisy areas is safer" I've pondered this myself, and seen a lot of people discuss why they wouldn't just live near the waterfall, but there would be significant drawbacks. They'd have to build shelter and storage, which might be louder than the river, and would definitely be very labor intensive. Living close enough to the water to take advantage of the sound, but not so close as to have moisture issues in any dwelling you build is probably not possible. Finally, a constant sound loud enough to cover average living sounds would more than likely cause hearing damage to the hearing family members in the long term, and would cover up the sounds of nearby monster attacks in the short term. They are super lucky to have access to enough land to grow food for an entire family and the supplies and skills to preserve food.

What I find the most compelling about this movie is that the message of it is interconnected to and an inversion of the whole plot and conflict. Beyond the surface problem of "super-hearing aliens will kill you if you make noise", the message and plot underneath the bigger plot is the dangers of not communicating and staying quiet / keeping things to yourself that are better said, especially since you never know when that chance will be lost forever. The daughter not talking to her father about her guilt, the father not talking to the daughter about his love and not blaming her, and the husband / wife not talking to each other about losing their son. Several problems and dangers in the movie are a direct or indirect result of the family not communicating with each other when they should.

There are probably a dozen ways Reagan (the daughter) or the parents could've prevented the boy's death, but if you want a devastating opening scene like that, something has to go wrong. I attribute their errors in judgement/awareness to being in such a stressful scenario for such a long time. After almost 3 months of worrying about *every possible source sound*, their brains have probably become very fatigued. I play a lot of video games. So when I saw that scene, I thought, "Surely batteries are very useful for flashlights and such, and will soon be hard to come by, if they aren't already. I'm surprised the dad didn't pocket them." Could've saved the kid's life. Or, being a very young child, he could've sneezed, coughed, or cried at the wrong moment and died anyway.

About the situation of John not letting her go with them, I feel it is less about him not trusting her or even her deafness. She is incredibly brave and capable which is why he couldn’t let her go. The brother was crippled by his fear and in a world like this, that alone would get him killed. He needed to overcome it and to know how to take care of himself without being overcome by his fear. And as far as guilt goes, it think every single person (maybe excluding the son to an extent) was so consumed by their own guilt for what happened to the littlest that they didn’t realize the others were hurting as well, especially the father/daughter. He was trying to put on a brave face for his family and she took that and anger/blame towards her. I don’t think he understood her anger or how to help her, so he showed his love in other ways, like trying to fix her implants. It’s a very tough situation within an already tough existence. Also, as a woman who has given birth twice, the fact that she was silent for the majority of her labor is INSANE!!!!

Worth noting that the first 35-37 minutes of the film is without ANY dialogue due to the creatures that hunt by noise hence why the family only relied on Sign Language to communicate and the first lines of dialogue happened when Lee and his son Marcus were talking at a waterfall area. However there were only five minutes of spoken dialogue in the entire film. Finally, here’s one thing that makes me curious how does sand trail literally stop the sound and noise from attracting those creatures and secondly how in the heck does the family avoid not sneezing, because sneezing often happens suddenly and without warning due to allergies so either they have a strong immune response from allergies or something.

John's sacrifice at the end always gets me. As well as Emily talking about how her arms were empty when their son died.😢 You should definitely check out part 2

The way I know I wouldn't last a week in this scenario

_Definitely_ watch number 2: it's a _great_ continuation of the story, and it deepens the lore and understanding of what's going on. Just as magnificent as the first one.

2:22 exactly like the youngest son and the deaf daughter should definitely be in the front and adults behind watching them

Fun fact: The reason the monster ran away from the girl with the Hearing aids It's because the Monster is sensitive to noises That's why it Kills whatever makes noise Because it's trying to adapt to it's environment🙂

I saw an interview with John Krasinski and he said that this movie was a love letter to their children ❤❤❤

Yes!! Bird Box with Sandra Bullock you can’t see. If you haven’t seen it, highly recommend it.

I squealed so loudly seeing this. You reacting to a horror movie, love a quiet place even the second one. I love horror movies ,stories, games ,shows ,story apps. Like I have been watching horror movies since i was four years old yes i did have nightmares and fear of dark but i still loved watching horror stuff and because of it i got over my fears of dark and no nightmares really so yeah. Thx for reacting , love you and your videos your reactions and commentary love your channel. Your videos always makes my day better.

Everytime I see you post/upload, it makes the day so much better. Loved getting to see this movie in theaters, the whole audience was quiet. That first 5 minutes reaction was priceless. Could only imagine how intense the sound is in your headphones haha. To answer the Clicking sounds, they made it using a Stun Gun, but inspired by Bats and utilization of echolocation as well as other inspirations found in Nature. But the Grain Entrapment is a dangerous occurrence that happens in most grain silos, had done research about it some months ago. But there's actually 3 types of entrapments, but either way, the pressure of crushing and suffocation happens within just a matter of minutes. So it's incredibly dangerous.

24:46 so basically, all that grain is like quicksand. As the person moves, they displace the grain, causing them to sink deeper. The metal panel is large and flat enough that it does not displace the grain as quickly.

36:25 she actually is deaf in real life.

It was amazing that Emily and John did this project together. She asked to read the script when he finished and she just sat there and said “I need to be apart of this.” It really shows in this movie together. The sound often is a key aspect in a film and it helps make it memorable. This film did an amazing job of choosing certain sounds and eliminating the main sounds we hear everyday. One of the best films by far.

I hope you'll incorporate more horror and thrillers in your channel! They're so so fun! But, also continue reacting to wait you already do because I love it! lol

I need you to see Wonka. I loved it so much. For me, it felt like a classic Disney movie, the music, the tone, the old timey, charming feel, and the fact that its' main character is an orphan. Walt Disney was an orphan, hence why so many of the main characters in Diseny movies were are. Granted, it was never said in the Roald Dahl books that Wonka was an orphan, but I think it's fine for a director to do his own take on an adaptation. It's a story that's running on pure emotion and therefore magic. The moment we question the magic, we spoil it. This is childhood magic, it's not supposed to be questioned, it's just meant to happen.

I hate horror movies, but I love this movie. It doesn’t feel like a disturbing, gross horror movie like most scary movies are, with unnecessary gore and plots that revolve around just inventing the creepiest most disturbing things you can think of. This story is about family, protecting those you love, and having faith, at its core. THAT’S a great, inspiring, timeless, worthy story to tell.

I love your reactions! You seem like a genuinely nice dude and always seem to catch things that other reactors miss. Keep em coming my guy! 🌻

16:06 you saying id probably start crying at this point like yup 😂. Some of these jump scares still get me. I watched this movie for the first at night time with my older sister

I'm pretty sure the clicking sounds the creatures make is how they "see" making noises similar to bats and whales in a form of echolocation to traverse their environment.

You should really continue reacting to the 100 it’s such a great show

I’ve gotta say I haven’t stopped watching your videos since I found your channel!!! You have such insightful thoughts and perspectives with everything you watch, and I just love your content, and am so comforted by your personality

The ticking sound is inspired by animals that use echolocation. Bats and balugas will make clicking noises, which allows their echolocation to work. The sound bounces off of the environment around them and travels back to them.

that ticking sound they make is supposed to be them using echo location and how it was achieved was they actually tasered a thick slab of meat. Their armor opening up to expose their ear was made by twisting wet celery.

1:34 Exactly 💯 that kid just shouldn't be there . No parent would just walk away/ in front of their young child especially in an apocalypse

28:08 i love that neither shuts down after a loss and now two like most dramas and shows and movies

I assume the ticking sound the monsters make is them echo locating. Sorry if someone else already commented that!

I snore. I would be one of the first ones to go.

Thank you, Oscar! 🤫 I love this one... the sequel is good, too. Kudos to writer/director John Krasinski.

you should watch Hush if you haven’t already!! it’s about a deaf woman who lives by herself and gets tormented by a killer. it’s relatively basic but still really good

That's the same thing I said about the line! Love this movie, so creative. Thanks for reacting!

"Love & Monsters" is a really good dystopian film i think you'd enjoy.

Oscar, you should make a Letterboxd, we can follow you there too and see your ratings, it would be so cool!

When I saw you'd reacted to this, I knew immediately I'd love this video, and I did! This movie is incredible, but I find reactions to it to be hard to watch because people often don't understand the daughter and judge her behavior harshly, not realizing that she's A) still grieving for her brother, B) still feels responsible for his death, and C) is a teenager on top of that in a very stressful scenario. Her behavior is understandable. I knew you'd see that with the empathy I've come to expect from you, and I was not disappointed :) Also, just FYI, the actor who portrays the daughter is actually deaf IRL, and as a disabled person myself, I respect the HELL out of John Krasinski for the decision to include a disabled actor in a disabled role. It can be difficult to watch an abled actor play a disabled person because for one they often get it wrong, and for another, it takes the opportunity away from a disabled actor who has many fewer opportunities than an abled actor does. And this young actor did a phenomenal job in her role, and it means a lot for people like us to see one of our kindred be given the opportunity to shine. :)

Omg ive never clicked a video faster than this before.... yea im in for the ride=P

Yessss!! So excited to watch your reaction to this quiet masterpiece 😅 Can't wait for you to continue their story in part II...so good❣️

0:58 it’s called a cochlear implant. Basically a surgically implanted hearing device with an exterior attachment.

Loved this!! Please do part two !!!

My kid kept yelling to turn my tv down when I watched this. I just found it ironic 😂

I have been waiting for this reaction for so long! So glad it’s here!!

Emily Blunt is an amazing actress and in this she blew me away. You should watch the behind the scenes footage. Even John said she amazed him especially the bath scene when she gives birth. He said they were filming that and when they said cut she just stood up and asked what's for lunch. I absolutely love her i everything she does

If you wanna see how it started you have to watch Part 2

One of the BEST endings EVER! ❤

Man, this is such an intense movie. It's so good and I'm glad you're finally reacting to it 😊

I watch your Friends reactions (fun) because of prior joint collab - but you got my sub because of your empathy in this film.

Oscar my post notifs paid dividends, awesome reaction so far ❤

My favorite movie reactor !! May the force be with you cocoa couch 🛋️

This is a great movie. Hope new one comming out lives up

Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles,the acting was amazing

20:58 - That "....ooh!" made me laugh more than it should 😂

I loved the quiet place! By far my favorite horror movie, and I think one part of why I like this movie is because of the girl who is deaf and not being able to hear without the hearing aids or whatever there called. I find her relatable since I became entirely deaf in one ear after my ear drum explode from being sent outside without a cold in the dead of winter. It was honestly a nice movie to watch without having to have the volume super high just to be able to hear what was going on. And the other half is that I'm an absolute sucker for the monsters, they are so interesting and the concept of having to be quiet in order to not attract any noise. The monsters are so cool looking, and it is genuinely amazing that this was even thought of.

Agreed at the beginning- when I first saw this with my husband I was like no way! I would never do that… I would have had 1 parent in the front and 1 in the back- it’s our protective nature like… especially since some time had gone by like it wasn’t like they didn’t know about the sound thing… it was a plot hole in my opinion and then not realizing the weakness sooner. I feel like a couple things could have been done but I did enjoy the movie, phenomenal acting!

See when the trailers for this came out thought it would ge something else entirely also saw a video on this aliens vs Calvin from the move life which was interesting also if I was in that world I would 100% track the angels of death just to keep track of them and try to figure out how to kill them

1:20 little did he know…

I saw this in a nearly-empty cinema the same day I saw Infinity War. This at lunch time, IW at night. I barely gave IW a second thought (though I DID really enjoy it) but this stayed with me for weeks afterwards. I cry pretty readily at movies, and TV shows, hut this is one of the very few movies that makes me audibly weep every time. That moment where Lee sacrifices himself for the kids, but only after reassuring his daughter that he loves her and has ALWAYS loved her, shatters me every damn time. It really is just one of the most original, most unique, most powerful movies I've seen in a very long time, and I'm glad the one sequel we've had so far hasn't diluted what this movie did so well. The way it used silence, wielded it like a weapon, and forced the actors to do most of their acting without relying on their voices...and I agree, the sound team would have have a field day making this, all the little sounds had so much significance, so much power to move the story along. This movie is proof, if ever it was needed, that taking risks on New is good, and that although sticking with established IP can be a safe bet and isn't always a bad thing, it doesn't have to be the rule.

27:24 that scene made me cry the first time I watched this film, and it also did now 😢 really one of my favorite scenes❤

I waited for you to watch this movie for so long, one of my favs, I’m so exited

Great choice !! It feels like a change i like it , and great reaction as always

This was the first post-apocalyptic movie I was ever interested in just because of the sign language so ofc I saw it in the cinema it was something I'll never forget

The intro really set the tone for this whole movie! Also, I wonder why the dad just sacrificed himself at the end instead of at least trying to fight the monster. Granted he was already injured, but I feel like they could have sitched it up later. I wouldn't want to leave my wife to deal alone with two young kids and a baby, so I feel like at least an attempt at a swing of the axe would have been better. But I guess movie-wise it's not as impactful.

I liked this one before I even watched it! So excited to see you react to this!

Made my day when I saw you posted this. LOVE this movie. Now you need to watch the second one!

*Rushes in and hugs Oscar*

I love these movies.

Yeah it's a great movie

I'll forever question why the little boy was last in line. I know it's one of the drivers for the whole movie but you'd think they'd know better. You'd think the kids would be in view of mom and dad under normal circumstances, let alone during a freaking alien apocalypse!!

Such a great film. Some of the shots at the beginning were filmed near where I live.

I am beyond stoked about you finally watching a horror movie! My favorite movie reaction channel is Kat Watches Horror Movies. This is one of my all-time favorites because the suspense in that theater was palpable. I could definitely recommend more if you want!

The sequel is amazing as well. I hope you'll watch it. This was an awesome reaction... you always have great insights/commentary.

Ahhh I love this movie

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Brave of you to watch a movie like this with how you're always dying from jumpscares! But I guess that's exactly why I had to see your reaction to it!!! The parents acting is phenomenal. I don't even like the movie that much, but it's still a must watch for those who like the genre. Death by corn gotta be one of the worst ways to go.

Amazing movie. Great acting. If you like Emily she stars in a western series called The English you might enjoy. I did. It streams either on Prime or Netflix. Great reaction... 💯

The ticking thing they do is a form of echo location, I think.

you should watch the lion king 2 at some point as well :) i like it better than the first one

If you like post-apocalyptic movies, you're gonna love this one😁

After seeing this movie a couple times, I have reached a conclusion. The real enemy was never the aliens, it was the freaking nail!

Fun fact; this was created with a student my teacher had and she told us about it

Can't wait for the new coming movie. Different type of movie, but Promising Young Women is a very interesting watch, would love to see your reaction.

First time I watched this I about held my breath the whole film 😮😂

Fun fact: The sound the creatures make is the sound a taser makes, slowed down

I recently got into your channel! Started by you reacting to Spirit my all time favourite movie from my childhood. I would love to see your reaction to other movies like Chicken Run..or scary movies..my very first one was Ghost Ship. Also maybe into the cgi stuff like Lake Placid. Or The Mist

You have to watch part two

you should totally react to all quiet on the western front

One of the best movies out there.
