The Sandra Bullock's new horror movie evokes memories of "A Quiet Place"; or the other way around (based on a 2014's book of the same name).

Super excited for this. The talented Sandra Bullock in a cool high concept horror film, sign me up.

I just finished this film and would recommend it. This story was actually a novel written before 'A Quiet Place' so not really fair to say it copies that story. Sandra Bullock delivers a fine performance along with a strong cast. It doesn't spend much time setting up the premise before it launches into the quick pace of high tension.

On a side note, the screenplay is from Eric Heisserer who wrote 'Arrival' 2016. I actually corresponded with Eric a few years back who assisted me with one of my enhanced script presentations for my website, sending me corrections, omissions, additions, fixes, etc. He was contracted to write the often lambasted 'The Thing' 2011 script. But studio execs being studio execs, brought in a "script doctor" to "hollywood-ize" it. My presentation on my site is actually Eric's original 2009 script. Once finished, he announced it on his Twitter feed.

Just watched it and enjoyed it a lot. A lot of it we have seen before with walking dead but it was creepy.

I've heard a lot of comparisons to A Quiet Place so I'll have to check that out.

It was ok.  Reminded me of a better version of The Happening.

Very much this. And better, but still forgettable imo.

Quiet Place is very good. Very similar to this but it's better made. This felt like one of stephen kings half baked stories.

Well said. If you liked "Birdbox" you will enjoy, even more, "A Quiet Place".

Yeah, I watched A Quiet Place. It was good, the creatures were awesome and it kept me on the edge of my seat towards the end. I just thought the movie was too quiet with no talking. I don't really want to be reading subtitles. I get it had to be like that.

I found "A Quiet Place" entertaining, but overrated. Not bad, but not great (imo).
