'A Quiet Place' (2018)
Who are we?We can’t protect them.
For me, Upgradedeserves the title “Best SF of the Year". And unhesitatingly, I call A Quiet Place the best horror of 2018, even though it’s more science-fiction than horror per se. I’ve been watching horror movies all my life and have already finished a whole list. Frankly, I was terrified of creeps like Dracula and Frankenstein until I was about 14 years old. If I even had seen a small fragment, I would go to bed shaking like a leaf and I’dd crawl behind a giant teddy bear. In my youthful fantasy, this bear was my protection against the creatures of the night. And when I saw Evil Dead for the first time and, to my astonishment, watched it without too many problems (as if I was numb), I knew my fear of horrors had disappeared from the face of the earth. Since then, I watch a horror with a certain kind of indifference. Last week I saw the articles about the trailer for The Nun and the fact they’ve removed it from YouTube after jump-scare complaints and people saying it’s too scary. At the end of the trailer, I wondered when it would start to be frightening. Well, never. But A Quiet Place… that’s a different story.
