Factual error: Emily Blunt takes her blood pressure manually, pumping up a cuff but not listening to her pulse with a stethoscope to get the reading. Not possible without a new style automatic BP machine which would have made noise.

A Quiet Place is a horror/thriller about big, fast, violent and practically invincible monsters from who-knows-where that quickly conquer Earth and ransack the remnants of humanity. Emily Blunt and her small family struggle to fight back against the marauding aliens until her daughter, who is deaf and wearing a faulty hearing aid, finds a way to hurt the monsters. Fast paced and relentless, A Quiet Place is definitely not for the noisy or the faint of heart.
I rented this from Red Box.
A thrilling, well written feature. Suspenseful and full of powerful moments. The cast really shine with their ability to act without spoken word.
It is a creature feature, and sure the formula has been done a thousand times before where only a few survive and have to find a specific weakness to defeat the creatures in the end. It's just rare to find a movie of those elements done well any more. And to still bring an element of originality to it.
Mistake Status: Did not search, no future plans.
this movie is a very entertaining movie its also scary a littlebit but its so cool
More mistakes in A Quiet Place
Evelyn: Who are we if we can't protect them? We have to protect them.
Question: If the waterfall prevents the creatures hearing them, why not live there?
Suggested correction: This is simply not true. The style of BP monitor that she uses is the way all BP monitors used to work.
The way you use a manual BP cuff is by listening to your pulse with a stethoscope while you pressurize the cuff. Your top number is the pressure you hear your pulse stop, and the bottom number is the pressure where you hear it pick up again.
Suggested correction: It is possible to read the pressure by such a machine as shown in the movie after some practice. The needle or the indicating hand slightly skips when it reaches the read pressure range.
That's inaccurate. The pressure at which the gauge jumps is often different than the pressure at which the first Korsakoff sound is heard.
Suggested correction: You can watch the needle bounce with the pulse on any sphygmomanometer - not as accurate as with a stethoscope but would work just fine.
