John Krasinski made us all laugh and cry as Jim Halpert on THE OFFICE, but now he’s setting out to just make everyone cry with his terrifying-looking movie, A QUIET PLACE. The movie debuted at South by Southwest this weekend, and word around the campfire is he’s achieved his goal of scaring the living daylights out of everyone. The early reactions have come out in praise of Krasinski’s latest directorial effort (starring himself and wife Emily Blunt), calling it a masterful horror masterpiece that’s far more intense than the already intense trailers make it look. Several critics and journalists have taken to social media to shout their praises, and you can take a look now. Long story short, no one left the theater with dry pants.
As of this writing the movie has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (with 11 reviews, granted), but it seems safe to say everyone is already going head over heels for this exhibition of terror, with much of the praise going to Krasinski for his precise, taut direction. Any fans of horror will probably make a wise decision seeing this in a theater!
A QUIET PLACE hits theaters April 6.
