As I wrote in my initial review of the film, A Quiet Place is first and foremost a family drama, and it's almost solely for that reason that it stands above its genre contemporaries. The horror elements themselves, while occasionally armrest-clenchers, are relatively formulaic, though certainly not "bad." But the film's strength and emotional resonance lie in how the script and the cast handle the Abbott family. You truly feel for them, both when they're hiding from the audiophobic/philic(?) monsters and when they're struggling to communicate with and support each other.
