![]() Both films dropped on Netflix within months of each other-and within shouting distance of when A Quiet Place stormed through theaters. The Silence, like A Quiet Place, is about creatures who hunt by sound. Bird Box and The Silenceīird Box is a supernatural thriller about an unseen entity that forces people who make eye contact with its essence to die by suicide. “There was a power to that,” Krasinski told Smithsonian Magazine about the lack of dialogue, “a confidence that I wanted to put in our movie.” There Will Be Blood is streaming now on Netflix No Country for Old Men is available for rent via a number of digital providers. Both films rely heavily on silence, particularly in the opening section of There Will Be Blood, where the audience follows Daniel Plainview ( Daniel Day-Lewis) in his quest to find oil. When Krasinski first developed A Quiet Place, he aimed high for inspiration: the 2008 best picture winner No Country for Old Men and 2008 best picture nominee There Will Be Blood. There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men So in lieu of seeing A Quiet Place Part II (or streaming the original film, available via numerous digital providers), here are eight like-minded movies to consider watching right now. Fortunately, fans of A Quiet Place who had hoped to watch its sequel have some options. Social distancing has forced people inside for the foreseeable future and left potential audiences scrambling for something to watch other than their apocalyptic Twitter feeds. Businesses around the country, including movie theaters, have shuttered and many major cities, including New York and Los Angeles, have issued variations on shelter-in-place orders for residents. But as everyone knows, there is nothing normal about this Friday, or anything else during the coronavirus pandemic. ![]() ![]() Heard of the "little death"? That there'll be the big one.Ībout thirty minutes into this horror of a story, I wanted to scream, but I knew there weren't really any aliens like the ones in this movie lurking about, so there was no chance in hades that one would hear me and come wipe my out of my misery.If this were a normal Friday, moviegoers would have flocked to theaters for A Quiet Place Part II, while box-office watchers would have been waiting to see how the sequel performed in comparison to John Krasinski's breakout 2017 thriller. It goes without saying, of course, that if you do have sex, contraceptives or not, you darn well better not enjoy it to the point where you moan or, heaven forbid, cry out at the height of passion. ![]() Why? Because it isn't irresponsible of you first, to bring a child into a world like this, and second, it's a sure sign of love if you have to stuff the baby in an airtight box with a little oxygen mask so that if it cries the aliens won't hear it and smear it. Oh, and while I'm making a list of don'ts and checking it twice, don't ever use a condom when you have sex. Allergy sufferers will be some of the first to get off-ed. No knuckle-cracking or gum-snapping, or stomach growling, or sobbing, or projectile vomiting, or stubbing of toes, or. No chili for you!Īlso no screaming if you drive a nail through your foot or give birth, either. Fart in this world, and you are one dead flatulator. I hate it when someone cuts one loose without warning and you have to hold your breath forever - just as if these sound-seeking alien killers were nearby and you didn't want them to hear you breathing. You know, thinking about it, no farting anymore would be a good thing. Woe be unto those who suffer from sleep apnea in this place, for unless you're an electrical whiz and know how to get some juice flowing - quietly, no generators allowed - to power a very quiet CPAP machine, your snoring will surely be the literal death of you in this soundless post-apocalyptic hell-hole of a world we now inhabit. It's a world where you can't cough, can't hiccup, can't even fart for fear you'll be splattered all over the landscape. We're in a wery, wery quiet pwace wight now.
