DVD Talk review of 'The Quiet'
 

I read Jamie S. Rich's DVD review of The Quiet at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=23543 and...


I have to say, this movie looks like absolute crap. I appreciate your excellent review Jamie, but I am of the opinion that your review is 10x better written than the actual movie.

Not only that, but if the twist isn't then I'll eat my shoe.

But does she and Elisha get naked with each other at some point? ;)

You aren't wrong about the twist, Josh. If I recall, the trailer even kind of makes it obvious. It's not the last twist, though, and the discovery is handled really well. Maybe give it a chance when it's on DVD, because I really think it's worth it.

Thanks for the nice words, too.

Your review gives you more than enough credit with me. I'll add it to Netflix whenever it gets released, then report back (8 months from now).

I just caught a matinee of this... i'm a HUGE fan of "But I'm A Cheerleader" (despite its few flaws) and am now also a fan of "The Quiet." It's an entertaining film and a nice little summer surprise (I hadn't heard of it until today). However, it is different from "But I'm A Cheerleader" in every way possible. There is VERY little nudity in this film (being gay, I'm not interested in that anyways). The only nude scene involves (who does have a surprisingly decent bod.

The "twist" you metioned is there, but isn't really a twist as it is hinted pretty heavilly throughout. [

I would give it 3 out of 5 stars on content. Probably 2.5 stars on replay value- would want to see this again on HD-DVD.

This was only playing at one theater near me for a couple of shows. I thought it was fairly creepy and well-acted. Elisha's lunchroom confession was pretty entertaining :D

Saw this last night and have to say we really enjoyed it. Pretty depressing stuff. Couple of questions:

My friends and I brought up this conversation last night:

Yeah pretty much what Matt said.

OK, I guess I missed some stuff. I actually wanted to see it again, but it's already gone from the theater :lol:

I liked this a whole lot more than I expected. Not really a repeat viewing movie (unless you really like the color blue) but very good nonetheless.
I remember seeing the preview and it was marketed as a cookie cutter thriller. It actually gave me the same feel as The Hunger but with no vampires. Maybe it was the piano motif. In the end I know that wasn’t wasted time and I am totally impressed with all the actors involved (as well as the production staff). A very good, if a little “artsy”, film.
Not at all what I expected.
