Editors' Picks: Not-So-Scary Movies For Scaredy Cats5 of 17
A Quiet Place | Available for rent on VOD
Plot: In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing.
Our Take: Okay, so this John Krasinski sci-fi thriller is not NOT scary, but it doesn’t rely on the loud jump-scares that modern horror movies can overuse. Instead, it uses silence to keep you suspended in an edge-of-your-seat state that feels way more fun than fear-inducing. You won't be able to resist a double-feature with the second installment, A Quiet Place Part II. — Hannah
