I heard it was 90 minutes of silence and then this eerie scene before fading to black

This movie was the kitchen scene in Jurassic Park extended to 90 minutes.

And I mean that as a compliment.

Just got home from seeing it. Maybe my expectations were too high with all the hype going on.. thought it was solid and suspenseful and felt like a much stronger premise of the M. Night "Signs" movie, but I just wasn't 100% in on it.

It definitely had shades of "Signs"

Krasinski was great.

Just one question so I go in with proper expectations..... is this movie nothing but mild tension the whole way through without any real payoff, like It Comes At Night?
Or does this have some legit grab your armrest momemts? I don't mean obvious, cheap jump out at you scares or Saw type gore. Just actual real terror rather than a constant promise of something that never comes.

It comes in the first five minutes and doesn't stop coming.

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

Absolutely. I barely know anything about but he just seems to be a boss. Next Chris Pratt.

There are definitely similarities to Pratt, both were very lovable low-key characters on NBC sit-coms. Both took on movie roles that made me do a double take. Never knew that Andy Dwyer could become Star Lord, never knew Jim Halpert could pull off the role as a military contractor in 13 Hours. I always thought 13 Hours would be terrible, from the story I knew already, to the fact that it was directed by Michael Bay, to having guys like Krasinski in the cast. I was happily wrong and I really enjoyed 13 Hours once I got around to seeing it.

Though I do hope Krasinski and Blunt stay married, Pratt and Farris didn't work out in the end.

I was sold on Pratt after his and Joel Edgerton's edgy SEAL duo in Zero Dark Thirty.

Projections have it opening to $47M after tracking to do $20M.

It's currently beating out Get Out, Split, and even Ready Player One.

That's what she said.

(couldn't help it. Had to make a reference to "The Office"

I've never regretted buying a box of m&m's more in my entire life

So damn good.

A liiittle hokey here and there, and a couple on-the-nose elements, but man, it's such a tight script and a hell of a job by Krasinski. Felt like he graduated from the J.J. Abrams School of Directing, but in all the best ways.

The edit from Emily Blunt screaming in the tub to the firework exploding in the sky has to be one of my favorites of the past five years or so. Such an awesome, visceral moment. And that ending beat/shot... just phenomenal.

The woman seated next to us, every five minutes throughout the entire runtime, just kept whispering, "Sh*t!... Sh*t!... F*ck!... Duuude!.... G*d damn it!.... Sh*t!" It was hilarious. The audience absolutely loved it and erupted when it cut to black at the end. Before that, I've never been in a theater that quiet in my life. What an experience.

I endorse Chris Pratt's genuinely giddy endorsement of this movie...
