In reply to Flinticus:
I wanted The VVitch to remain really ambiguous
A Quiet Place was odd because aside from having a baby and being on screen for the majority of the film, and being the headline star, Emily Blunt’s character could virtually have been removed from the film without changing much.
i just thought there were some inconsistencies , themselves inconsistent with what seemed to be a well thought out film
I was sure there was a shot, when they first turn on their lights, showing other residences around the valley doing likewise. Clearly I misinterpreted a visual and that is my fault not the film’s, but it gave me an expectation of interaction and drama which never came. Plus the film never gave me a reason to like this family . You need to root for your protagonists a BIT! They seemed nice enough I guess, but I wasn’t too bothered about what would happen to them as they didn’t seem to have much of a goal or at least they didn’t discuss it (I know, I know)
