A quiet place : helixsleep mattress

Video starts at 2:22

Till this day, I still feel A Quiet Place 2 Day 1 opening scene is one of the best sequences in a horror movie ever.

*SPOILERS* Having just gotten out of the movie, I’m going to disagree with your point on Joseph Quinn’s character. His parents being overseas is only a small part of it. During the scene in Sam’s apartment, he also mentions going to NYC for law school and says something along the lines of “It’s the one thing I was meant to do,” which implies that either he dedicated his whole life to it, or he comes from a family of lawyers. When it’s ripped away from him in seconds, he feels like he has nothing left to live for until stumbling upon Frodo by pure happenstance. I found his journey of finding reasons to keep going, even during the end of the world, really resonant.

This movie is a symbolism of kindness and a desire to live. A nostalgic feeling for what you missed when life was pure and beautiful. A fear of death mixed with already knowing your fate. The movie was a masterpiece in human emotions.

Frodo is the main protagonist in movie. He dealt with situation like a real pro.

Eddie Munson really can't catch a break. He's attacked by Demogorgons, then by creatures triggered by sound.

Frodo the cat deserves an Oscar

Djimon Hounsou Doesn’t get enough love. He’s fantastic in everything he’s in from Constantine to gladiator to this. I want to see him as the focus of a movie

Not before we get pizza!

Not aliens but Dead Set is a UK production where the contestants in a season of Big Brother are completely oblivious to the fact that there is a zombie apocalypse going on. It is very good.

5:36 slight spin on this that already exists if you haven't seen it, there's a mini series from 2008 called 'Dead Set' where a zombie outbreak happens during a season of Big Brother. Sort of like what you wanted, a group of people who are cut off from the world because of the show trying to figure out what's happening

The fact the cat never made a noise KILLED me!

This is the only movie I’ve ever seen in theaters that made me legitimately mad I wasted my time and money on it.

Lupita’s character is amazing, but they should have kept the nurse who was introduced before the invasion instead of switching him for a random guy that just *appears* in a jump scare

Two minutes of a bloody mattress sponsor

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm surprised that Stuckmann, the number one fan of Alien, wants to know more about the purpose of these invading aliens. What did the alien want in the Alien movies? We assumed it was like a shark: It moves, it eats, and it reproduces. What is the motivation of a regular ant? I'm sure they have one, but we don't need to know it to understand the problem of them infesting your house. Threats in nature don't need a purpose. The drama comes from how this problem affects the characters beyond the primal instinct to stay alive.

I maintain they should have waited to make this until after A Quiet Place Part III because of Part II's cliffhanger ending, but I'm still excited to see this. Lupita especially is a modern acting legend and I can't wait to see her in another horror movie after she blew me away with Us.

We have to sit through 2 minute long mattress ads now? Come on man

2:22 minutes of mattress talk, 5:10 minutes of breaking down a film. I miss when this channel had more passion, and would be delighted to share film insider industry views. Not to mention give actual thoughts about performance and storytelling while grading movies. Seems having millions of subscribers and a desire to be liked in the industry has drained his inner child that loved to talk film. In his old videos his eyes would light up as if eager to share his joy of cinema. I miss those days.

I watched it opening night. I like the first two better. This movie I didn't care for the characters stories very much and the plot was weak. It was just watching people survive without much of a goal for their actions.

Having seen A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place 2, I have a really unique connection growing up with these films

Two minutes for an ad in a 7 and a half minute video is crazy

Here’s what happened on day - they learnt to be quiet in about 15 minutes

One of the most emotional endings I’ve seen in a long time 😭

Question for all: Did anyone else feel frustrated with the inconsistency of how sensitive the monsters were to sound? For example when the nurse manages to successfully turn of the generator with no monsters showing up, but then his shirt rips and it’s slashing time? Or in the final chase scene when Frodo is being carried down the pier by his butler, the creatures hear a can rattling over the sound of car alarms and glass and metal getting smashed and all of them turn and bolt towards them? I also noticed immediately that creatures seemingly don’t react at all to sounds caused by their own kind, which would be fine if it was explained but it is never addressed

2 minute ad in a 7 minute video really man

My mom always said if you don't have anything good to say... "DON'T SAY NOTHING AT ALL"...😂😂😂

2:28 actual review.

the guy that plays Eric looks so much like a young Robert Downey, Jr.

1/4 of the video is an ad 😢

Nothing wrong with wanting to know more about the creatures but the unknown is what makes it scary and unnerving. Knowing to much about them takes away the mystery of them. Look at the Aliens franchise, it was horrible when they gave us the backstory of Xenos. To me i like the “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality. This movie is a solid prequel that’s falls just a tad below the other ones. They played it safe and kept what works. I think it should be one more to where it’s still has the same tone but have it more action packed. In other words we get the last movie to be what Aliens was to Aliens. We get to see the military learn their weakness and fightback while still maintaining the horror elements…..like Aliens.

Chris grew up in a quiet place

@5:25 Yes Chris there is method of keeping yourself away from all noise. It's called Meditation or Vipashyana where you don't speak a word for a week or so and do your daily chores and do yoga exercises like breathing techniques and yes it tremendously helps you energies whole new level

2:21 Review starts.

Great review. I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I left the theater with an opinion of the film that is very similar to the one you just explained. (Totally unrelated but love the shirt. I have the same one.)

I’ve commented this same thing in a number of your videos but I’m gonna say it again, you are the best reviewer of film I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading or listening to

Chris sleeps on helix mattress and is now well rested ... +10% XP earned for a limited time

Great review

Chris I love the premise for your Quiet Place pitch, let me give you a name for it: “From A Quiet Place”.

Just the video I was looking for, was thinking about seeing it this weekend.

My personal theory is that the Death Angels are a vanguard for an alien invasion. Animals you just release to shatter your opponent’s defense then swoop in for an easy win.

Damn you sponsor got more time than the review. WTH

Good lord, thank god for Sponsorblock.

The ads are getting pretty annoying

Bro really put a two minute ad in a 7 minute video lmao

Chris, love you shirt, I have the same one!!!

Bruh, the ad was roughly 1/3 of this video’s length, WTF

I love the Super Mario Bros. shirt you're wearing in this review

I think A Quiet Place would be an amazing show. Having each episode deal with a different story. It could take place anywhere, at anytime, and with anyone. Different writers/directors per episode.

Officially tje longest ad I've seen in a KZfaq video lmao

When is Shelby Oaks coming out?

Half of the video for sponsor

Good review. One thing I know about the creatures is that they don't eat humans. But knowing their motivation would be very interesting.

All the actors/actresses did amazing conveying these events through their eyes. Lupita is amazing as usual. And Can I get a best supporting actor for the frodo the cat cuz not one goddamn purr for the entire movie is impressive

I kept jumping and almost screamed 😱 during the suspense scenes 😅. Great plot.

It's crazy that almost a third of the video is an ad

The whole movie is filled with contradictions. Like manic and violent librarians the aliens try to make people be quiet, but they can do nothing about wind, waves, storms, rain, waterfalls, birds, dogs, cows, sheep, etc. Earth is very noisy, but it’s just people they resent? And how about their entry to Earth, roaring and smashing and crashing into the atmosphere. It’s a wonder they don’t all wear earmuffs.

I like the Quiet place franchise so have to watch it

The best in the franchise so far. I love the symbolisms.

Hi, I want to know more about the mattress 😊

Any news of the release date of Shelby Oaks

Some time, replay the scene in Quite Place Part Two where the Abbot family enters the foundry. In the smokestack of said foundry is an alien chopping into pieces, and burning. This is a standard technique for driving off intelligent wild animals like baboons and monkeys. So, Cillian's character knows how to kill them, but only one at a time.

5:05 yes, the idea behind it is so good that in the right hands this could potentially become a never-ending franchise. imagine: you could make a TV series with episodes (or seasons) completely disconnected from each other but connected only by the alien invasion, in which each episode (or again, season) tells the story of different characters who face that situation. i'm thinking to a Black Mirror or American Horror Story kind of thing.

Thank you for the review on this. I haven’t heard of this movie before, but you’ve definitely made me interested in checking it out.

Dear God on 2:22 advertising after I just watched advertising to get here...cmon man

How long until this director is on the podcast?

I loved the cat and Eric. I would totally be like him.

Nope! Didn't work! Not gonna make me cry..😢 I am a 40 yr old man and held strong at the end. This was the best of the series.

I would love to see the next part in the series A Quiet Place. I'd love to see the survivors including Emily Blunt's character fighting, kind of like edge of tomorrow but less military like and more like average citizens stepping up to take matters into their own hand. Like they developed some make shift weapons that do sound waves like the weapons against the hulk in that one movie.

This needs to be a series, each day being one episode. I'm saying this because it felt way to short.

Stuckmanns idea of what to see in this film verse reminded me of Jared Leto being on one of his retreats and coming back having no idea what Covid was or that it was everywhere

what about a meteorite landing on one of those big cruise ships

I was watching the cat more than I was paying attention to the actors, lol. Enjoyable experience, even the people in the theatre avoided rustling their bags of sweets and snacks, haha!

There's no cat in real life that would be like that 💯

Stuckmann liked the film. How refreshing.

Chris I been watching u since 2015, maybe I missed a episode where you talked about this but pls where do u get these dope ass T shirts from?????

They do enough characterisation with Eric (Joseph Quinn). From a couple of comments made by him you get he's put all his eggs in one basket, coming overseas to study to become a lawyer (because that's all he knows) and it clearly hasn't gone well for him, his family would probably be disappointed and when you think back to first seeing him, he was ready to give up...until he saw Frodo the cat. That's enough.

My only issue was that this movie didn't have anything specifically to do with A Quiet Place franchise. You could replace the creatures with any other kind of an aggressor and the story wouldn't change. You could put the characters in the setting of the Army of the dead and the movie stays the same.

My theory is that the noise just drives them insane.

6:30 Great review as always Chris. However, I'd argue that even tho the family dynamic is universally relatable, Joseph Quinn's character is super relatable too from the perspective of someone living alone, away from home, seeking opportunity in the US only to have it all stripped away.

I enjoyed A Quiet Place: Day One. I really hope there’s another spinoff of Henri and Eric.

a 2 minute ad in a 7 min long video is wild

Gotta see it Saturday at IMAX In my city Cluj-Napoca we don't have IMAX only in Bucharest and Timișoara and I'm going to a biker festival next weekend in Timișoara

What action figures are behind him

This movie was hot garbage. It wasn't "day 1" as advertised, it was a bunch of scared people trying to be quiet for 2 hrs. Where's the explosive chaos of an alien invasion?? It was over in ten minutes. Idk if you guys have low standards or if you're doing mental gymnastics to try to convince yourself it was ok. Huge disappointment.

Skip to 2.22.

But does the cat survive!?

That’s a chunky ad

Am I the only one who connects the quest in this movie to Zombieland; character traveling a dangerous landscape for a nostalgic food that reminds them of a late family member

Kittyo deserves an award

Just watched it, as one of the few viewers who didn’t care much for the first two, I actually really enjoyed this one

I love both A Quiet Place films since this prequel gets a different director I'm going to an optimistic mind on watching it

Michael Sarnoski nailed it imo

I have “Quite place 1 & 2 dvd” it has a bonus section where it goes into the aliens, their weakness and the location of their landing which is NewYork amongst other places

I had no idea this was the same director who directed Pig (2021). You got me, I adore that film, so definitely going to see this in IMAX or Dolby Cinema. Impatiently waiting for your review of Yargos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness (2024). Saw an early screening and oh my goodness, gotta be the most cringe, hilarious, wild and violent “WTF did I just watch?” film of 2024. Gave me Beau is Afraid (2023) and The Curse (Showtime/Paramount+) vibes. Thoroughly enjoy it.

Someone commented about want to see a A Quiet Place III . I agree especially since the franchise has done such an excellent and worked so hard at establishing and making us care about the original characters. I actually cried in the first movie when the father was signing to his daughter that he did in fact love her moments before he sacrificed his life for his children. That first film took me by total surprise. I have felt so much for characters in a horror film possibly ever and I'm a fan of the genre. Most of the time the children are through away characters. The writers, actors, director drew such fully-developed characters, especially in the daughter, it add that much more dimension to the film. The filmmakers can't just drop that family's story without resolution. Chris, I agree. I would also like to know more the creatures. I'm excited to see what we learn about them in this film, but it's similar to the aliens in the Alien franchise. The first two films were excellent. The first perhaps a groundbreaking masterpiece. By the 2nd film I wanted to know where the aliens were from and what their ultimate goal was. They, as the monsters in this franchise, are clearly intelligent and not just mindless killing machines. They came to earth for a reason. I love your reviews Chris!

Why was the Sleep bed ad longer then the review,dang

Lupita in another her horror film, her third I think, I love. I want her in all the horror films
