"Never has “waiting around” been so glorious. Postwar ennui meticulously staged and photographed, a fin de siècle troupe of the idle rich, such empty lives and their inconstant echoes. But Antonioni really had the last laugh, for this “adventure” film is more a solemn nod to Godot than any real outing or frolic."

Just finished watching on shudder and I liked the movie very much the references to other horror movies the biggest nod the film gives to the Friday the 13th movies obviously the ditector and the writers are fans of 80s slasher movies and it shows plenty of gore on hand both the lead characters are likeable all and all thumbs up

Shhh-it! Let me tell you, as quietly as possible, that A Quiet Place was one of the most intense movies I've ever watched. I stayed on the edge of my seat the entire movie, and I was in a big recliner mind you. You may experience increase in blood pressure and heart rate. If nothing else, A Quiet Place deserves a huge nod for sound editing.

Not a bad end to the trilogy. I did like that they explain the origin of the Shadyside curse and show the truth about the witch. When it gets back to the present it has some good things, but this one isn't as strong as the first two. The entire trilogy together is good however and a great nod to the 80s horror movies.

Enjoyable film, but too long

Leo and Brad, once again, did a great job. I felt like the nod to old westerns was not so much a nod as am almost full western within the film (I exaggerate of course, but it was quite lengthy).
I thought Margot Robbie did a lovely job as Sharon Tate, and the scene where she was watching her own movie was kind of adorable. although she barely spoke and I wish she had more input in the movie.
When the Manson family members got wrecked I laughed so hard. The part with the flamethrower was masterful, absolutely hilarious. Even though the screaming was so over-acted, it just made the scene so much more Tarantino and funny. Also, the dog survived so that's a win in my book.
I felt like a few scenes dragged a bit and a few didn't add anything to the movie.
