7. A Quiet Place (2018): Silence is Golden, But Terrifying
Directed by and starring John Krasinski alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt, A Quiet Place redefined creature features and the use of sound in horror. In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by blind extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing, the Abbott family must live in absolute silence – every whisper, every footstep, could mean instant death. The film masterfully uses sound, and its absence, to build unbearable tension, prompting audiences to gasp and even hold their breath. The inclusion of a deaf daughter, played by the talented Millicent Simmonds (who is deaf in real life), adds a unique layer of authenticity and emotional depth, making the film a powerful allegory for the Deaf experience.
