A Quiet Place: You won’t believe what’s terrifying audiences the MOST about new horror

Several moviegoers have joked that eating their food in the cinema is proving particularly scary, given the near-silent nature of the movie.

A Quiet Place is set in 2020, when humans are being picked off by scary creatures with incredible hearing, who hunt their prey based on sounds alone.

This means that the central family – led by John Krasinski and Emily Blunt – have to go about their day-to-day lives in complete silence, or risk being killed.

The nature of the movie has left people scared to eat their popcorn, it seems.

“anytime I tried biting into my reese’s pieces while watching A Quiet Place I felt like I was risking the safety of the theater,” one person joked over the weekend.

“A heads up – if you go and see ‘A quiet place’ at the cinema, don’t buy any snacks. I managed about 3 kernels of popcorn throughout,” said another.

A third quipped: “Mood while watching The Quiet Place: 95% Fear, 5% Waiting for music or sound to come on so that I could eat popcorn.”

“Trying to eat popcorn during A Quiet Place was exhausting,” read yet another post.

Others meanwhile were left miffed by people who were seemingly completely oblivious.

“Just saw The Quiet Place with a theater full of people who would not survive The Quiet Place,” joked one Twitter user.

A Quiet Place has had impeccable reviews from critics and has been dubbed the best horror of the year so far. A sequel is now thought to be in the works.

A Quiet Place is out now.
