Sometimes I feel like I’m experiencing a different reality from everyone else, and maybe I’m being… trolled.
Like when people say Hamish and Andy aren’t funny.
Or they don’t find babies that cute.
Or they just aren’t ‘dog people’.

But most recently, I walked out of the cinema after watching A Quiet Place, feeling I had been completely and utterly lied to.
This is a film that has a score of 95 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. Just for reference, the movie Bad Neighbours 2, which is funny and entertaining AND has a Zac Efron only has a score of 62 per cent.
It's had glowing reviews in almost every major news publication in the country, including this one, and had one of the biggest debut weekends at the box office ever for a horror movie. Better than The Conjuring. And Paranormal Activity.
It's likely to be the second highest grossing film of the year in the US, behind Black Panther, and I feel like I'm missing something.
A Quiet Place is set in 2020, after most of the human population has been killed by alien creatures who attack any person or animal who makes a noise. The Abbott family live in silence, able to communicate using sign language, because their daughter Regan is deaf. They exist in terror, however, that a single sound will see their lives taken in an instant by one of the huge, violent creatures.

Has the point been made about how a way to kill them was found in Part 1? Through sound they can vanquish them yes? Has this just been glossed over or forgotten? Perhaps I am missing something, am I?
These Aliens are completely blind and would never be able to build spaceships required to come to Earth let alone fly the darn things not to mention they don't like sound thus attack it and would never have been able to build a ship in complete silence. This is why they chose not to explain how the Aliens arrived because there is no plausible way they could of gotten here unless mankind landed on there planet without making noise, kidnapped them and brought them home in sound proof cages to study them only for them to have escaped.I'll humor you and pretend that all happened but the film still sucks regardless simply cause it was boring. I could of stayed home, put on an episode of Stranger Things, Hit mute, slap on some sleep aid sounds like waterfalls and dolphins and been as equally entertained. I swear people watch these Artsy Horror films, assume that everything must make sense otherwise it would not have gone to theaters, feel stupid for not getting it so they lie and say it was excellent to avoid anyone from questioning there intelligence. In many cases convince themselves it made sense to avoid questioning there own intelligence for not getting it. I hear people say "but it was so emotional and you gotta put yourself in one of the characters shoes" well If I put myself in the mothers shoes I don't get myself knocked up in a world where silence equal survival cause I'm pretty sure a condom wrapper makes a hell of a lot less noise then a newborn baby. If I put myself in the father's shoes I would have started tossing rocks in a different direction to distract and lure the Alien away from my kids rather then stand still and scream aka commit suicide. These aliens may have had armor and appear to be indestructible but they are attracted to noise so you lure them into a trap with noise and lock them up. The conclusion here work to as far as how they figured out how to kill them but I mean in the meantime no one has bothered to trap them? I didn't hate any of the characters nor did I love any of them. I simply didn't care if any of them survived.
