A Quiet Place

I am indeed left without wig.

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt certainly have outdone themselves with this, a film which will never let you relax. It is honestly amazing and I loved it even if I was stressed to the max throughout all of it. A Quiet Place takes place in an apocalypse where any sound you make means you get killed and eaten by massive alien-like monsters.
It is a very sad film as well, which I really did not expect but does separate it from other Horror films. Whereas you may think it similar to 10 Cloverfield Lane and the like, it holds its own place in dystopian Horror with this idea that the hardest practice of all is to stay silent when necessary.
But hey, John and Emily were like you know what our silent life really needs? A screaming baby!

So John and Emily are finding it hard to keep their kids from fucking up in day to day life and from the beginning it really is just one thing after another for the couple, they really can't catch a break. The baby decides to arrive early, they keep losing each other, the kids KEEP making noise and these monsters just keep on letting themselves into people's houses. Krasinski directed this as well and he has done a very good job, him and Blunt do a great job overall and I'm living for it.
As the case for scaring goes, it isn't too scary in the same way as greats such as Insidious and Dark Skies are, but watching A Quiet Place is needed to be viewed in a cinema or just very very loudly. Because these jump scares are literally too much.

It is a great film and I loved it. The ending was honestly the best because Emily Blunt literally has had ENOUGH and gets ready to take out these creatures one by one.
And literally with all the shit she goes through in this film, it's like YOU DO YOU EMILY!

Jigsaw

What's the scariest setting of all? A really brightly lit barn that's what.

I don't know if many people watched it or even knew about it but there was this MTV reality show long ago about trying to find the next big Scream Queen. Girls would battle it out in Horror themed challenges and there was some hasbeen nobody SAW actress hosting it. Literally couldn't tell you who she was. But basically, when they did a filming challenge in the show, it would look so bad. The camera angles, the filters, the shoddy lighting... all of it just awful. So why does a film made many years later LOOK AS SHIT AS THOSE SNIPPETS OF FILM FOR A REALITY SHOW?

It's not a great film.

It's pretty damn bad really. 

It is a SAW film to a degree, and it has some entertaining qualities, even if it is the basic acting. So there's lots of stupid backstory hanging around characters who have little to do with the game that the 'new' jigsaw has laid out. So there's minimum to do with guts and blood and more to do with this really disgusting creepy head of the police and this weird girl is suspicious as ever and this really basic main guy who like lost everything when his wife died and it's just basically tiring because you know they have a bigger part yet to come.

So who is the new Jigsaw? Is it a copycat? Or has John Kramer come back from the grave?

Well yes Kramer's back from the dead BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE FUCKING CANCER ALL ALONG.

But there's still more twists and it is pretty messy.

LITERALLY DO NOT PAY GOOD MONEY TO SEE THIS

I have to admit though John Kramer has a very calming voice when he's not hiding behind a puppet.

I appreciate what this film was trying to do. It was trying SO hard to be part of the SAW franchise and have it's only little place in reinventing this cult series of films.

But it's just lacking so much.

Plus the name 'Bucket Head' is thrown around a lot and honestly just lowers the whole tone of the film. And who is funding John Kramer to live his quiet little life just making killing machines in the countryside?
