Its critical reception was near universally positive. It scored a score of 95 per cent at Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus being, “A Quiet Place artfully plays on elemental fears with a ruthlessly intelligent creature feature that’s as original as it is scary — and establishes director John Krasinski as a rising talent.”
