A Quiet Place
There’s a kernel of a good story here, and good performances by everyone. But the plot is full of holes and other annoyances.
The plot holes aren’t the worst thing though. Oh, no. There’s something more terrifying than the audio jump scares, more horrifying than getting torn limb from limb by CGI things that wished they looked as good as the alien from Alien: the Whiteboard of Exposition. Every time it’s on screen it takes me out of the film. It’s just such jarringly bad, heavy handed, nonsensical exposition with a massive dollop of clumsy foreshadowing it makes me want to scream. Even if screaming would get me killed. Maybe especially if screaming would get me killed. ARGH.
