For once, this is a high-concept movie that truly delivers on its premise. Led by terrific performances by John Krasinski (who also directs with excellent, taut precision) and Emily Blunt, the tension is maintained from the start with at least three almost unbearable superbly-executed sequences. The film does not hold back on the horror aspects - both physical and psychological - with a very well-constructed screenplay and remarkable sound design. To say more would give away some of the central conceits at play, but suffice to say A Quiet Place is undoubtedly one of the most challenging, accomplished and uniquely entertaining films of this year.
