I've never been a big horror fan, so I kind of glazed over this one and hadn't watched any of the trailers, which have been out for weeks now. But the movie itself premiered at SXSW a couple days ago to absolutely rave reviews, to the point where reactions have been so unanimously consistent that I finally gave the trailers a spin... and holy crap this looks amazing. That, and I mistakenly assumed it was strictly horror when it looks to be something so much more. Not only does John Krasinski star, he directs as well, and based solely on the concept/visuals alone, I kind of can't believe this is only his second time directing a feature film. There's so much buzz that people are saying Krasinski could be the next big breakout director, ala Jordan Peele and Get Out. Between this and his Jack Ryan series on Amazon this summer, Krasinski looks poised to have a hell of a year.

A Quiet Place hits theaters on April 6...

Also, how weird is it that Krasinski and Blunt are not only married, but Krasinski was runner up for Captain America, and Blunt was actually cast as Black Widow, but had to bow out due to scheduling - two characters that ended up being somewhat paired together across a couple movies. Now the actors who almost played each are married, we may had never got this movie otherwise, and Blunt was actually pregnant with their second child in this, which looks to play a part in the plot.

Even though I really enjoyed, "It Comes At Night"... I think this is going to be the version of that movie that people wanted and actually liked.

I hope this blows up for Krasinski. There doesn't seem to be a more likeable guy in Hollywood.

Man, you just nailed what I've been thinking since I watched this trailer. I didn't hate It Comes At Night, just felt let down by it. So I'm hoping this movie actually delivers and isn't more of the same.

I want him to be the Green Lantern

That would be a great choice. I still think it will be Chris Pine somehow though.

If he doesn't get that, he can be Moon Knight in Phase 12 of the MCU

Krasinski and Blunt would make a perfect Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic when they reboot the Fantastic Four in the MCU

And a prosthetics/CG Rainn Wilson would be a perfect Thing.

Chris Pratt is also in the running for most likeable. The dude runs a farm now for crying out loud.

Krasinski appears to be a genuinely good person though. Loved his turn in 13 Hours.

Will be seeing this movie even though I do not like horror at all.

I don't normally like horror but I'm super pumped for this one.

Love the look. And only the look.

I loved horror growing up, but rarely does a horror movie look good enough to actually hit the theater these days, I'll be at this one. The most recent horror movie I saw at the theater was Don't Breathe, which was great, and I highly recommend if you like horror or suspense.

Pratt does seem like one of the coolest guys to go out and drink with.

Pratt definitely seems like he's in the "not a *ick" category.

Hate to see his divorce but he still seems so genuinely excited to be where he is today.

Read his (somewhat?) recent GQ feature, he's crazy likeable.

And I'm excited for for this, not into horror but I do enjoy a good thriller and this looks to be more in that genre.

So I'm never going to get him as Harry Dresden, am I?

This, except I didn't like It Comes At Night

Guessing this will fall under the same 'The Village' and 'It Comes At Night' category of "Interesting and worth watching but not scary in the least", but we will see.

Reviews, at least, are saying it's scary as sh*t.

I known we sling RT scores around here with some heavy grains of salt but it's curretly at 100% with 23 reviews in...

Also, it's hard to picture Jim doing a horror flick. Seems like much more of a Gabe thing to do.

It took me a while to see him not as Jim playing soldier in 13 hours.

It was especially weird that Roy was also in the movie and seemed to get along with Jim.

The second trailer is way better than the first one.

Fantastic 4 should not be in any format other than cartoon.

This movie is suspense, not horror at all. There are a couple spots that will make you jump a bit, but this is hardly a horror movie to me. Maybe if you are 8.

I thought it was fantastic. It pretty much has you on the edge of your seat from the first minute until the credits.
