A Quiet Place

[Atlas2342]

Has anyone else seen A Quiet Place? I’ve only just seen it today and I thought it was pretty good.

Not bad, but they should just live  on/near the river or the waterfall.

Also I would suggest a pit with stakes. Above the pit - windchimes with a spiked club hanged inside. Such traps everywhere.
The creature hears the windchimes, attacks, gets a spiked club with the forehead and falls down on stakes.
The next creature hears its screams, runs to the sound, gets a spiked club with the forehead and falls down on stakes... 
Repeat until creature count <= 0.

If not meat, then at least glue and claws.
Maybe even aspic. Looks like not very much meat on them, but a lot of cartilages, so why not.
River fish in aspic. 

Think positive!

Upd.
Just got an idea.
Some creatures in the pit would be wounded but not to death.
So, get it out and heal.
(Don't forget to remove its limbs and cut the spinal cord. For safety and because smaller body needs less food.)
Put a stick between its jaws and fix them with rope.
Congratulations!
Now you have a biosonar which can precisely aim at any sound it can hear with its sharp ears.
You can place it near your home and look where it hears at the moment.
Feed it with fish junk and other food remains.
Having two bioradars you get a stereo pair. Now you can always know accurate direction and distance of any sound source around.

Also you can use it in a barn to search the mice.

Seems pretty tense given they can absolutely crank the music at any given moment.

I wonder how the monsters can filter out the sounds they've made when they move or learn when a specific sound is from the environment and not from their prey. One would think at least some of them die during a thunderstorm or when they encounter cliffs and stuff. Also they don't seem to be intelligent, as from what I've seen they don't have a brain, or at least one that is capable of higher thought and learning.

Yep. I was scared a few times during scene changes from really quiet to really loud because of the music or from the scene environment. Also I really like the way the soundtrack matches the scene perfectly and they only have music during certain times but absolute silence during others. The fact that there is very little vocal dialogue is really cool as it amplifies the little sounds in the environment and the eerie silence; you also don't find movies with that little dialogue.

Clearly I haven't watched any horrors for too long...

Might take quite a nerve to stay up XD

Though given the sign language, do they have subtitles, or is it just obvious gestures ?

They have subtitles. When I watched the movie, I was scared to eat popcorn lol. Be warned, I had my heart racing during the first few minutes of the movie (maybe it's just me being really easy to scare, I had low expectations when it started.)

They cannot scream. That alone makes for an interesting movie

I was watching a version with English subtitles when they were speaking ASL.

P.S.
After watching the trailer, I was waiting/hoping this is about some virtual invisible creatures living everywhere in their place and materializing from shadows on loud sounds.

So, I was a little bit disappointed that they were just quick predators with ears instead of brains (that's also about their intellect).

A Quiet Place is one of my favourite films. From the beginning I tried to predict the end of this film, but I made a mistake.

I`m looking now for some similar films like this. I found some recommendations here: bestsimilar.com/movies/60165-a-quiet-place

But! What can you recommend from these films like A Quiet Place?

Yeah, I like that it brought something new to the genre, standing out from the mush that are horror movies today.

The movie Hush, has basically the same concept of having a deaf person as a protag. Replace the monsters with a serial killer and you have that. Its pretty good albeit not as much as A Quiet Place IMO.
