Genre Research: A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place is a different kind of horror movie than usual. It relies more on sound than anything else, and that's why it's such a good movie. The horrifying sounds, the fact that you can't make noise and it's managed to do an amazing job to potray that. It has a lot of the normal horror movie conventions, like the usual horror, scary monsters, and jumpscares, with the occasional dark lighting and moments. What i really loved about this movie, though, was the sound. The direction the story went in managed to utilize the horror of sounds and noises to bring together something amazing. This is definitely something i'd want to utilize in the future. I also really like the acting, as they did an excellent job potraying the fact that you can't speak or be loud. I also have to admit that the CGI monster in this movie actually looked pretty good! Though i still would abstain from using it in my film if possible. I also didn't really like some inconsistencies in the film in regards to the actual sounds, so i hope to avoid that. I also didn't really enjoy that it wasn't anything new. It's good in the sense that it does stay true to the common horror movie conventions, but i believe that in order to keep things interesting you have to switch things up every once in a while. Otherwise, it stays relatively true to the conventions of horror.
