Lantern falls on the floor
John looks straight at the camera to give a classic Jim face

[saracrawley]

A Quiet Place is just an alternate universe where Jim never bought Pam a Coke and his jinx was never lifted

“it was non-negotiable for me to cast a deaf actress because the character is deaf” THANK YOU JOHN. genuine representation is so important.

[phoobie]

Me: John Krasinsky has really grown as an artist and people need to stop limiting him to comedy because of The Office.
Also me: hehe funny jim with beard

I love how they take sounds out when we see through the little girl's perspective.
I actually didn't see her hearing aid in the first scene, but realized she is deaf through the lack of sound during her shots.
Great job!

The hardest thing about this movie was eating popcorn without making any noise

[kaiyajones]

I love that he's getting recognition, he deserves all of it

[mandymckk]

Petition for John Krasinski to record an hour long documentary talking about film stuff

[iNineJTB]

I wonder how much Dwight Schrute charged him to film at his barn

[imadefault]

The dad's death was low key the saddest thing

[onlynicks]

It's really amazing to see this side of John, the passion and intelligence he put into every scene of the movie are what make it so great. Can't wait for your next film!

[moonanaii]

Top 3 chilling scenes for me:
1. Emily giving birth
2. Emily in labour standing on the nail
3. John sacrificing himself

[chillychang]

John is probably sick of people only associating him to jim. Give him some credit other than the office

[therealsimbayt]

Fun fact:

This scene was actually filmed at Schrute Farms, monumental for the northern most battle in the civil war

[AbsurdExistentialist]

The villain in this movie was the nail.
o_o

[wrightvcx]

Imagine Michael in this movie holding his laugh for a silly joke.

[Jpizzle]

The sound of the lantern does not do justice oh how friken loud it was in the theater. I jumped. Great great movie. Good job John

[listenup]

I still can't believe he made a horror film not being a horror fan.
