The Vault is a bank heist movie with a supernatural twist. That's all I knew going into it and that's probably the best way too.

The film was fine, it wasn't anything spectacular. It starts by jumping straight into the heist so there is not much in way of world building and it's a pretty linear story too with not much character development. We don't really know or learn too much about anyone involved and it leaves it feeling kind of shallow.

It's pretty cheesy overall, I didn't find the acting to be that amazing, there were no major plot twists I found apart from the minor twist at the end and the scary/tense parts weren't as good as they could have been with a lot of dark shots and flashing lights that took away from the minimal horror going on. It was an alright film, everything that went on was cool and it was neat overall but nothing amazing and not a very memorable film. Watch it and possibly enjoy it when you've got nothing else to do but then forget about it after you move onto the next flick.

I went into A Quiet Place hoping to get out of it what I felt I didn't get from bird box. It did a pretty solid job of doing just that.

Avoiding spoilers the best description is that the film is set in a sort of post apocalyptic world where staying silent is the only way to stay alive.

The movie starts off generating an interesting world and immediately creates tension, a sense of danger and high stakes. Although the lack of dialogue (not totally absent in the film) can feel a bit strange mixed with the reading of subtitles it can begin to get very immersive. What the film does with limited cast and dialogue is quite impressive and I didn't find my attention being taken away. My only possible complaint would be with movie logic like perhaps soundproofing better or creating sound distractions or if natural sound is safe perhaps incorporating that more into your survival tactics, there could be a log of nit picking but I'll avoid that and just enjoy the film because it's overall an intersting and emotional thriller with constant tension and what I felt to be a pretty solid ending.

This started off as such a promising film. The beginning was very captivating and provoked a lot of questions. So many intersting and unexplained things happen at the start of the film but as it goes on it starts to lose it's interest factor. It begins as this cool supernatural sort of suspense film and gets you excited to see what is actually causing all the chaos. I'll save you the trouble though you never get to actually see the movies antagonist in the end which was a big let down because I was hoping for some sort of physical representation. The film actually plays out as a semi-thriler with more focus on the relationship between the kids and malorie which isn't bad but didn't do a great job of getting me to care what happened to them. I had hoped for a much more Intriguing and shocking conclusion but was let down by all the clichés and flat ending. Overall the premise was unique and promising but I found the execution to be lacking and only somewhat enjoyable.
