The corn thing is actually real, kills dozens of farmers per year. It's like quicksand.

They are still alive in part because their daughter is deaf. The family already knew sign language before the aliens arrived.

The idea of having a deaf character was so smart. Because imagine it. It's like her perfect world and her worst nightmare all in one. Nobody can make a sound so she doesn't have to feel left out about not being able to hear things or being hearing. But not hearing things she also can't hear if she makes a sound which can be extremely dangerous.

surprised you country boys haven't heard about people drowning in grain silos

I love all the hidden background details in the movie. Like in the supermarket at the beginning, all the potato chips are left unopened on shelves, due to them being too loud to eat.

John said that the bathtub birth scene took Emily one take and after he said "Cut" she turned to the crew and asked what was for lunch. Damn she is good.

Can't agree with Eric more! This movie shines when you stop worrying about "How did this happen" or "Why couldn't the army handle them?" and just enjoy it. The suspense is fucking insane and when I saw it in theaters there was just absolute silence, it was perfect.

19:06 When they were filming this scene, Millicent Simmonds - who played Regan - suggested they change the script from I LOVE YOU to I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU. Her suggestion made John Krasinski cry.

Emily Blunt after reading the script asked to be in the movie. John didnt want to ask her because he was afraid she would say no or that she would say yes just for him.

They pour sand over the Paths they take to make their steps silent. That’s pretty smart, I don’t think I would have thought of that.

I get rick with his disbelief of the world that is built, HOWEVER!!!!!!, we are watching and unveiling this world from the family’s perspective so we know as much as they do so we can’t be told answers that rick is asking that the family doesn’t even know cos they are our eyes and ears of this whole experience

Around 17:55, they talk about how sinking in corn isn’t realistic. It actually is and I’m not quite sure what the number is, BUT it does kill a lot of people per year.

When my brother and I saw this in the theater, some guy showed up 15 minutes late and kept "whispering" to his date asking her questions about what he had missed. 10 minutes of that and my brother finally looked at him and said, "Dude. Literally *everyone* in this theater can hear you right now!" To his credit, the guy stopped.

Ironically, the urge to nitpick the scenario (I feel it too) is because the movie is so good. Almost all genre films have huge holes -- at least as large as the very real holes in this. Handguns have 1000 bullets and are as accurate as sniper rifles. Tires are indestructible. People are barely slowed down by crazy injuries. The physics of jumping and explosions and such. OMG. Sound in space. Fire in space. Everyone knows many of their favorite films are outright ridiculous. But Quiet Place feels so real and honest in some ways that we feel it as a real world and thus expect real world logic and consistency.

21:53 , it’s not the movies job to give us all the information. It’s the movies job to get us talking about it long after the viewing so it builds a higher reputation in theatre. Interpretation is what leads conversations to theory’s and then this makes the film more popular for them to make a sequel. Makes the film more intriguing as it’s sets up a sequel and will leave it open for the writers and the director. A MOVIES JOB IS... ...THE PUSH OF IMAGINATION

Sinking in grain/corn is very much a real thing. Because they were standing up straight, their weight allowed them to sink. If you look at the steel door, it wasn't sinking because it was flat and its weight was being distributed over a bigger area.

Rick must love Cinemasins

When we in the theatre nobody ate their food once the movie started. Everyone zipped their lips to maintain the quiet. It was glorious

People drown in grain all the time. Look it up.

Where they are walking and running is on the sand paths they put down and refill when needed

Oh goodie, I almost forgot how much of a joy rick was. I'm glad to be reminded I would have forgotten otherwise.

They don’t hear everything all the time. It’s just like how we hear multiple things at a time. The loudest thing may hide quieter sounds. They have a sand down to deaden the sound. But it still makes sound. Also these thing a roaming in their territory. They may not be in range. And we don’t know their range. The only part of the movie that was silly was the snapping but she could have just gotten lucky. And the family had an advantage that they had a deaf daughter that they knew how to communicate. Also it was day 89 at that start of the movie guys. That’s not a lot of time. Like when you guys say what about a city. When they first got here they probably just slaughtered anything that moved. They could have cleared a city really quickly how they move.

27:30 - What a lot of people don't get about this movie - It's not about being 100% silent all the time, it's about minimizing risk. Sometimes you have to take a risk, sometimes you don't. They don't talk in whispers because there isn't a good a reason to risk it. Sure it might be convenient, but is it worth risking death? Their footsteps when running would make some sound but they run only in situation where they feel like they have to take that risk. They also spread sand all over common paths to reduce sound and you can actually learn to run/walk with less noise if you practice it enough.

Sorry Calvin that’s not quite right about how the casting went down. A friend of theirs was going to play Emily’s character, but then she read the script and said to JK that she absolutely has to play that part. It was her idea not his.

Here comes Rick, inventing the dumbest reasons ever to be a contrarian and hate something. "I just wish it took place in space and not on Earth."

“I would have written this in space.” .....🤐

“This is a quiet baby. They’ve evolved.” 😂😂🤣💀💀

This was one of my all-time favourite movie theatre experiences. It was a large, packed theatre and you could sense how everyone was trying so hard to be quiet. It was this real collective effort to make the experience work. I loved that.

It’s amazing how any fun in the reaction immediately evaporates whenever Rick finds shit to complain about. We don’t need to know all of this background info, because if we did we’d get a movie like Bird Box where the more that’s explained, the more plot holes open up. A Quiet Place generally works because we don’t know what happened, only what is.

6:50 Yeah, I agree. Everyone was quiet in the theatre. Which - REALLY annoys me in retrospect. So you all CAN shut up during a movie, you just normally choose not to.

I was excited to see this pop up in my recommended, but reading the comments made me hesitate to watch it for now. I'm having Black Mirror reaction flashbacks where Eric & the others spent most of the time explaining to Rick that he need not sweat every little detail to enjoy a show / movie (I mean, he can suspend his disbelief when watching anime & some other shows so he's ok in those), & it just wasn't a fun experience for me. Maybe some other time.

One thing I like about the film is that we as an audience know just about the creatures as the characters in the film. That piece of storytelling, and the sound really make you feel immersed in it.

the "why did the army not stop these things?" question can be answered the same way the book World War Z did about the Battle of Yonkers, the army are trained to kill living humans, weapons are designed to kill living humans. in world war z the army fall apart cos shooting a zombie center mass does nothing, grenades and tanks and shrappnel do nothing and the zombies just kept coming(the chapter of the audio book is on YT somewhere voiced by mark hammil, well worth a listen) and it could have been the same case here, the army were not prepared to fight these things.

One of the key things, is that feedback sound we hear as an audience, is for us to understand whats going on. When you go back to the corn silo scene, and they show the boy, there is no sound of "feedback", only when they show the girl, or the alien. That frequency of sound would not have been weaponized as we silly humans wouldn't "hear" any sound being made.

id agree with Rick on the Military thing if this movie was about the Aliens taking over the world or something. But this wasn't about that is was about the small family in the middle of nowhere we don't know the history or what else is going on in the world...

I don't know if you guys saw Edge of tomorrow, I think it's one of Tom Cruise's most underrated movies. Awesome action and very good concept.

I feel like I'd hate watching movies with Rick...

Drowning in silo is one of the worst thing there is. Imagine being suffocated by grains.

So did Rick wake up on the wrong side of the reacting bed and decide he's going to be an extra smug know it all in this one, or what?

This was the best movie theater experience for me personally. You could hear someone nervously chew popcorn trying to be quiet. Everyone really tried hard to make no noise it almost felt like you were in the world of the movie. I would basically try and scarf down what I could whenever a loud scene would occur. A very unique theater experience.

I saw this movie in theaters and it was so quiet. I'm the kind of person who starts eating the popcorn as soon as I sit down and am done with it about a third of the way into the movie. This movie, I ate so slowly because I was conscious of every single sound I was making.

I'm glad this movie doesn't just dump exposition.

They were running on sand...

There's still part two coming out. So maybe there might be more info about these creatures and the characters' world. But I sure hope part two lives up to the greatness of part one. If not, better.

They were making fun of the corn part, but I thought it was one of the scariest things in the movie😂

Just a quick fact. In fact there are a high number of people who actually die drowned in silo's.In Brazil, for example, they had to create specific occupational safety laws to try to reduce the number of accidents.

This was an amazing movie to see in theaters, probably one of my favorite movie going experiences

Listening to Rick is super frustrating. I think he's used to films feeding him all the answers and doesn't like having to figure stuff out onn his own or use his imagination.

A QUIET PLACE > Bird Box

I get Rick's issue with the world building and plot but when it comes to storytelling they are almost always secondary to character and theme.

I like how when they showed from the daughters' point of view, the silence was different. It was more complete. Everyone's else POV included sounds of nature.

How would the military have worked it out? Look at the rate at which they can kill. They would have been completely helpless. It would be difficult to have stopped them even if guns did work.

In my head A Quiet Place and 10 Cloverfield Lane are in the same universe

I absolutely LOVED this movie when it came out. I was lucky enough to see it in a QUIET theater. Then I was unlucky enough to see it with some friends - later - and the friend right next to me was eating popcorn through the whole first half. Drove me absolutely nuts.

I think Rick didn’t like the movie cuz of the monopoly scene.

If you equalize the weight across a larger area by laying down or sitting on a bigger flatter area, you won’t sink in the corn. It’s like trying to cut a piece of paper by dropping a flat metal sheet on it, but if you drop an exacto blade facing down, it will go through it like butter.

After recently giving birth myself, Emily blunts character is the strongest person ever I would’ve gotten my whole family killed from screaming

*girl sinks in corn* "I don't buy that for a second" Me: "Well it happens so"

6:45 Me and my friend saw this in theater. So surprised at how silent everyone was while watching this, definitely the quiestest ive ever seen. I think everyone read into the movie & knew what type of movie it was gonna be. Also the fact that this movie is tense as all hell made us even quieter, like the monsters would get us if we made a sound.

I honestly think Rick is just trolling everyone all the time. That or he’s apparently the smartest person in the world and everything everyone else does is stupid.

Considering their are 3 of these things in the middle of no where, there could be millions in urban areas that were so overwhelming to the military.

The experience of this movie in theaters was AMAZING people was so into it that when she stepped on the nail nobody screamed, everyone shrieked and covered their mouths

I remember when me and my friend saw this in theaters. It was so quiet, you could literally hear movies from the other theaters. Definitely one of my favorite theater experiences.

Me and my brother went to see this in Theaters and we chose a theater that had full services (Food,Alcohol,the works) We had He had ordered some nachos and quesadilla , I had order a taco trio that had fried fish,shrimp,and chick inside along with some chips and dip. We did not think it through. We though that there would be some form of dialogue at some point. Every time we took a bite some of the other people would laugh. When they go to the waterfall scene we scarfed everything.

Welcome, everyone, to another episode of Rick Ruins Everything.

"if they would of have figure that out, they would of published it" PRINTING PAPPERS, DROPPING THEM TO PPLS HOUSES, THAT FAR GONE INTO THE PRESENT, RICK, ARE U KIDDING ME.

As a teacher, I walk next to the middle of my class in transition time. I can monitor front and back and keep the students together. I can always fall back quickly if needed. I totally agree the youngest should not have been alone in the back.

The military wouldn't/shouldn't be able to survive an apocalyptic event. The military consist of humans who would be just as vulnerable to a pandemic, alien invasion, nuclear war, etc... I wouldn't count on the military as a whole, holding it together. There might be pockets of soldier trying...but they could easily become a part of the problem, instead of the solution. I have two sons who served, so don't think I hate the military, because I don't. It's just that I can't seeing it surviving an apocalypse of mass destruction.

It’s genuinely one of the biggest killers of farmers to die in grain silos 😂

A Quiet Place 2 is done filming and goes into theaters early next year

Ok I’ve worked on a ranch with those corn drums and that can actually happen it’s like quick sand. Ok so can we suspend our disbelief and stfu before these aliens kill us goddamnit? Edit: Rick: it’s the movie job to tell us everything Cinemasins: we approve Rick

The best stories DON'T feed you every answer. More than anything, this movie is a MOOD.

5:06 Calvin is like, "Damn, this movie is NOT going to pull any punches."

Rick makes me sad. Find more joy buddy lol

In my opinion, this was the best film of 2018.

Watching this movie on theatre was an amazing experience!!!!!!

Drowning in corn is called: Grain entrapment - Wikipedia Engulfment has a very high fatality rate. While the death rate from workplace accidents on American farms has declined in the first decade of the 21st century, grain-entrapment deaths have not, reaching an all-time annual high of 26 in 2010. Many of those victims have been minors.

Grain entrapment is a legit thing, and it's probably exactly as terrifying as the movie makes it out to be.

Saw this in theatres and it's mindblowing how incredibly tense you feel watching it every scene is full to the brim of tension Krasinski really impressed me with his directing very nice shots that take their time and let the tension build as long as it can

I watched the movie pretty recently, so the theatre was basically empty besides for like 4 other people and yup could here every time someone jumped in their chair. I was literally holding my breath the whole movie. Absolutely stunning.

It's not even that guns can't do anything, it's that they're too loud. You'll just attract more (and at this point we don't know how many are around) so that's why it's safer to live in silence.

You can definitely sink in corn. A family friend of ours died last year from it

AS far as the military thing, we don't know exactly how many of these things there are or how they reproduce. They landed on an asteroid. Two these thing's armor are ridiculously tough considering they did not implode in the vacuum of space, much less survive the landing of the asteroid they were on. Third, even if armor piercing rounds worked, it's unlikely everyone had access to them. Fourth, it was likely chaos initially, with screaming and gun fire everywhere and if there were hundreds or thousands of them it would have been worse. The military liked would have needed weeks to figure out that these things operated on sound, considering it would have been tough to kill them. Fifth, these things were relentless, so they likely killed people in their sleep as well. So military likely died due to exhaustion. It wasn't until the population dwindled down that they started coming up with effective survival tactics.

Ricks critiques were really off for this movie which is weird as we usually share opinions on a lot of things. It almost seems like it went over Ricks head. He was looking at it like this is going to be a standalone film that never gets a sequel. It's actually an extremely poop decision for directors/producers/writers to build the world over the course of one movie/book/comic. We learn just enough about the world to be invested so they can build on it later. It's also in the perspective of one family in the entire world. It wouldn't make sense to tell you everything from this one story and would hurt chances to add further depth with successive entries into the series.

They actually finished filming part 2 last month and is set to come out in March so I’m pretty excited

I was forced to watch this for my media course and the sound jumpscares freaking got me every time.

Me: Oh! Movie reaction! *sees Rick* See ya next time.

I haven't seen this movie yet but they actually just recently wrapped up filming the sequel to this movie in my hometown. Well, about 15 minutes from my hometown in Buffalo and Grand Island, NY. They talked about it a lot on our local news channels all summer.

great movie - love that final shot so much

You guys have gotta react to the thing (1982), I don’t know if you’ve all seen it, but I’d love to see you guys talk about that movie.

Love the movie reactions

I love these movie reactions

As for footsteps, they laid out a path of sand everywhere they would be walking. Footsteps don’t have the kind of frequency other things did.

I'm pretty glad I didn't see the movie in a well lit room surrounded by people talking. Watching it in the theater was awesome cuz it was dead silent. no one wanted to even eat popcorn to make noise. Totally make the experience 100 times better.

I love this movie! I love when the kid walks up to them with the rocket ship. It’s like he just walked up to them holding a dangerous animal.

I really enjoyed this movie thanks for doing a reaction

I love how the pill bottles at the beginning are all untouched because they would all make noise

After watching this, I can't wait for Rick's view of The Last Jedi.

I loved this movie, can’t wait for part 2 :D

See, I got that it was about frequency and not decibels. It doesn't hear some the footsteps for example because it might be too low frequency. Same for running for the most part. Something like corn I'd imagine would be a higher frequency and something that could be in their range.
