After A QUIET PLACE, Try...

This sound-focused horror movie has been the top and talk of the box office. If you liked the quiet, tense atmosphere of A QUIET PLACE, place a hold on some of these movies:




  • 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.  
You might also like these books: 

  • Bird Box by Josh Malerman: In this post-apocalyptic thriller, the mere sight of a mysterious phenomenon is enough to drive you insane...and so the main characters constantly wear blindfolds as they attempt to navigate to a new safe haven. Replaces A Quiet Place's sound for sight but keeps the tension just as high.  
  • The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker: After the world ends, estranged father Edgar attempts to run across the country in order to be reunited with his family. Perfect for fans of A Quiet Place's focus on family. 
  • Metro 2033 by DmitriÄ­ GlukhovskiÄ­: This cult novel, translate from Russian, tells the story of a nearly-extinct humanity taking refuge in the subway tunnels of Moscow from radiated, unearthly monsters. 
  • I Am Legend by Richard Matheson: A classic of post-apocalyptic fiction, Matheson's story has been adapted for the big screen several times. A man copes with the knowledge that he is the last human left on Earth...because everyone else has become a vampire.
