A Quiet Place

2018

A family is forced to live in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound.

Ages 15+Source checked

Why this age? Intense horror, repeated peril involving children, a sudden child death, creature attacks, injury, childbirth danger, grief, and sustained psychological tension make this unsuitable for most younger viewers. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
