Suprak the Stud - C-

What you dont have is horror. This is the film on this list that I feel like couldve been dropped for a variety of reasons, but the biggest of which is Im not sure it fits in the genre.

Content-wise, it's definitely horror. They just botched the tone.

And then I kinda hate all the characters besides Sandra Bullock. They are all these horrendous one dimensional archetypes and I couldnt have cared less when they all died. Part of it is because of the strange set up to the story, and you literally start the movie with Sandra Bullock alone with her kids and no one else, and it doesnt take an intense examination of the story to figure out everyone is dying.

Nailed it. The non-linear narrative was a poor choice for this type of movie.

Johnbobb - this movie's big emotional revelation is the main protagonist's realization that maybe her kids deserve to have a name and this is for some reason the person we were supposed to be rooting for fuck you sandra bullock this movie is shit

There is some good stuff here, the scene where they are driving to the supermarket in a car with all the windows and windscreen entirely covered is great - you dont know exactly what theyre hearing or feeling outside.

This scene I actually enjoyed a lot, with them using the GPS to navigate the roads to the supermarket. It was like playing Mario Kart DS while only looking at the bottom screen.

One issue with the film is that it seems to bend its own rules for the purpose of the plot.

Little off-topic, but this is what ruined A Quite Place Part 2 for me. After adhering so strongly to the rules in AQP1, the writers of 2 seemed to excuse noise whenever it was convenient.
