Definitely intentional, clearly a continuation of the theme touched upon in the LP artwork but I personally would have liked to have seen a bit more of it here.
It still works as a decent design though, I like the bravery of featuring just the environment and I get he's building ambience and suspense by having a lot of open space in the dark. The concept of the red light as a glow in the dark layer is interesting too. But I don't understand why the composition leaves so much space above when I think it would be way more suspenseful adopting a view closer to the ground where everything is much more obscured.

All I can think about is this:

it was better than Hereditary.

Agreed. We’re pretty much in the era of “if a horror movie doesn’t completely suck, then it’s amazing!” The bar is set very very low. I’m looking at you Get Out, Hereditary, Quiet Pace, Babadook etc etc.

Hereditary is fine. It just isn't the best horror movie of the year. Toni collette is a gd boss tho.

If it gets a wide theatrical release, it is probably doo doo. There have been very few exceptions to this rule the last 10 - 15 years.

PS Babadook drymounting rules. Movie hits drymounting hard if you're a parent. Not to say that it is ineffective to anyone who isn't but I know seeing that movie pre parenthood and then again post parenthood were 2 totally different experiences.

Hereditary is actually good though.

oh. 100% agree on that. for sure.

[RambosRemodeler]

Hereditary is actually good though.

As what? A familial drama? Absolutely.

As a horror movie? Absolutely not. Throwing a ton of fudge in a flick for shock value doesn't work for me. The ending is also complete dogshit. I can see why people liked it but it didn't work for me.


(Collette on the attic door works tho and the sons response)

As a parent, Babadook just annoyed the hell out of me. That gd kid... ugh.

[35mmpaul]

rambo gets it. loved the scene at the dinner table. but all the horror elements are clunkier than stepping on a pile of legos in the dark.

[SPAC04]

not really

^

In the beginning of "A Quiet place" there is a news paper on the ground that says "It's Sound!"...premise didn't fell apart for me.I think i have an in ordinate amount of disdain because it got a lot of comparisons to "Get Out", but taste in films like any art, is subjective (especially for horror films) so i'll leave it alone. I dig the MRT tho.

All that matters... Signs > A Quiet Place

[jlabbate]

is it wrong that I liked Hereditary and A Quiet Place but was bored to death by The Babadook?

Nope, I feel the same way.

Maybe it's because I don't have kids but I thought The Babadook was extremely overrated.
