Sssshhhhh...

We were both fed up after another day of rain so we thought we’d go and lock ourselves in a cinema and pretend it was still mid-Summer. When you’re surrounded by darkness you can convince yourself that anything might be happening outside. That’s why my short-term goal in life now is to spend every rainy day with my eyes closed.

Anyway – back to the film. I didn’t fancy the latest Avengers CGI-wankfest so we ended up giving “A Quiet Place” a go. I didn’t know anything about it and I’m glad I didn’t, because I’m not a fan of horror films and reading the blurb may have put me off. What an ASTONISHING film!!!! It grabbed me by the balls with one hand, and with the heart by the other, and it didn’t let go for 90 minutes. I LOVED it.

I’m not going to try and sound like a clever reviewer, and I’m not going to give anything away, but I would say that whatever your gender, whatever your background, and whatever your age, you’ll find it a thrill. It’s part ‘Aliens’, part ‘Signs’, part ‘Cast Away’, part ‘War of the Worlds’, part ‘Children of the Corn’ and part lots of other stuff, but also its own unique creation.

I just hope they leave it alone and don’t ruin the effect by dragging it out as a five-part sequel-fest.

(and now I’ve managed to sound like I’m trying to sound like a clever reviewer… and I’ve also ended on a negative note while writing about one of the best cinema experiences I’ve ever had!)

What a douche.

What a cynic.

But WHAT a film!!!!
