- Wait Until Dark: A tense home invasion thriller in the home of a blind woman (played by Audrey Hepburn). Where A Quiet Place focuses on sound, Wait Until Dark uses sight to keep you on the edge of your seat.
- Don't Breathe: Similar to Wait Until Dark, a home invasion taking place in the home of a blind man quickly turns into a cat and mouse game...only the homeowner is more dangerous than he seems. If you liked A Quiet Place's creative use of sound but prefer your thrillers more grounded in reality, look no further.
- Signs: A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields. Similar in both setting and tension to A Quiet Place, though with more focus on mystery and drama then scares.
