Could You Survive A QUIET PLACE?

Guest Star


Shhhhh… Years after an alien invasion, Jake (me) quietly ekes out a meager existence while avoiding the sound-sensitive alien race that’s hunting him. Although every sound *could* spell disaster, it provides the perfect opportunity to explore what is sound, what it means to hear, and if we can actually weaponize sound to explode some heads?

Also to address a lot of comments about how in the films the sound makes the aliens expose their soft meaty parts which makes them vulnerable....you are correct. That is how it is in the movie. An interesting hurdle with this show is we generally need to get by on fair use. Certain elements we riff off need to be changed to make sure we won't be sued. I literally have to send the scripts and the final videos to a lawyer to make sure that they fall within fair use. The magic of movies!

I watched this film when it came out in a quiet cinema room, there's no other movie that's given me this kind of tense atmosphere, just incredible.

Jake: "Have you ever experienced true quiet?"

Tinnitus says "lol".

[TalkabtNature]

Jake: So you see, we CAN’T make a sound!
Also Jake: *screams every word he speaks

"Can you survive A QUIET PLACE?"
Introverts: Yes

[johnnyzen]

If the alien's hearing is so acute you literally couldn't hide from them, in the second one it took 3 feet of solid concrete to hide their whispering....if they got within 15 feet of you in the open they'd literally hear your heartbeat and the blood circulating through your veins, let alone your breathing.

I would put a sound system on a long pole over a cliff. You pump out music.
The creature charges the device in a violent rage and plummets to it's death.
Intelligence is the way humans win all wars.

Your videos are so well done! I mean you can sense their quality, all the work behind them! They're AMAZING.
I just found your channel and I'm already subscribed! Good job you guys!

9:10 LMAO, I am PRETTY SURE this is a genuine "what did he say?" reaction from me to that "I'll be right back" because I don't remember filming that part AT ALL and obviously the interpreter wasn't going to be close enough to interpret this part for me. 😂

I've been following 12 tone for years so this is fantastic finally seeing what the dude looks like. I have learnt a great deal from him :)

[Gakulon]

Welp, I just figured out I can't hear an 18 kilohertz soundwave... what a time to figure out I have premature hearing damage

[DoFliesCallUsWalks]

Jake: What is the quietest place?
Ryan Trahan: I've got some experience with that.

[lautimartinez]

I thought that the sound didn't make their head explode, it only made them up their armored shell allowing people to shoot them in the head thusly exploding their heads lol

[Nebula]

child: exists
a couple minutes later: dies
more minutes later: becomes saboteur

[garrotmon]

Dude really just stepped on a nail and immediately ran through the forest. Sounds like a good way to get an infection

[Cheffrey_Dahmers]

Imagine being a guitar center employee and have already converted to solar energy. I bet youd have the best of headstarts

[theonebman]

Not being able to hear that high frequency somehow made me sad and depressed asf
Like... I feel I'm running out of time somehow, and I'm only 22-

[BTboxing]

Guys do not worry if you cannot hear the higher frequencies, the way that YouTube processes videos makes it so you can’t have high frequencies, if you want to test it, get an app

[Alteori]

Watching this as I have 98% of a q-tip all the way down my ear hole

[jeromeb]

Me: **finally finds a truly quiet place**
My ears five seconds later: **demonic screeching**
