    Bit surprised to see such little attention thrown on this around here. It looks slick as hell to me. And getting some effusive reviews. I can't wait to see it. Love me some creature features that are smart and scary.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I was equally surprised to find he is married to Blunt for reals.

    The fact that he did this with Blunt is the main reason I watched the trailer at all. Now I really want to see it.

    I remember wishing this was part of last season's fantasy draft, but it came out just a few days after the deadline. It had little to no knowledge, and seeing Krasinski as the director was sure to push away people who hadn't seen any images.

    The first trailer absolutely sold me. Avoiding everything now.

    Feels like I have to choose theaters for watching this film carefully though lol. As Doug Dillaman put it jokingly on letterboxd: "100% someone gets stabbed in a US theatrical screening opening weekend in a dispute over noisy cinemagoing."
    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    Also, some article offered the suggestion that this was a secret Cloverfield movie. Heh.

    Seeing it tomorrow!

    And I too love this kinda thing, but have been trying to keep away from too much footage or plot details as possible (to explain my own silence towards it).

    Horror trailers are probably the worst culprit of spoiling character fates, scares, twists, and even entire climactic scenes. And even if not, at the very least they can give you enough visual details to deduce who might be killed and in what order. Truth or Dare's trailer is a prime example of this. It all reminds me of this story about the fight over Get Out's trailer, which would've been insane if it had happened, and endless kudos to Peele for putting his foot down:


    (At 1:05, and spoilers for the movie, if you're somehow still holding out)

    55 reviews and counting...still 100%. That's impressive.

    Apparently there's another Quite Place-like movie on Netflix called the Silence. Anyone see it?
