10 Horror Movies That Only Work In The Cinema

Modern life is noisy.

With increased traffic on the roads, the constant whirring of electrical items, and those damn annoying birds, it's almost impossible to get true silence these days.

Unless you're in a cinema.

Part of a cinema screen's immersion is its lack of outside noise. Customers are publicly shamed for talking during movies, phones are silenced on fear of death, and even the faintest crunch of popcorn is enough to get someone excommunicated from any respectable establishment.

This militant focus on silence plays perfectly into the world of A Quiet Place; a world where the smallest sound could be your last.

Directed by and starring John Krasinski, A Quiet Place follows the Abbott family as they struggle to survive a world populated by aliens. Not just any aliens though, aliens with an acute sense of hearing that will kill a human if they so much as step on a semi-crunchy leaf.

With barely any dialogue, the film forces its viewers to sit in silence and wait for something to go wrong. This is a guaranteed tension-creator and one that was tailor made for the deathly quiet landscape of a movie theatre.
