Factual error: Grain engulfment is not depicted in a scientific manner. It is not possible for engulfment to happen without a valve being opened at the base - which has not been shown in the movie when the boy falls in the grain storage. It is very unlikely that two engulfments will happen so close by in the same storage - if so, they will converge quickly. But, the movie shows both victims help each other one by one. They succeed in 5-10 seconds. Engulfment become entrapment in less than 20 seconds and require more than thrice the body weight to pull some one out (unlike one kid being able to pull other one out while both are on the grain). Finally, they both sit on the door and avoid entrapment.

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

Suggested correction: It's possible for grain to look sturdy but not be underneath so the engulfment could have possible. But you're right about them not being able to pull each other out.
Well observed. It's a factual error.
I jumped into grain hundreds of times. It is not possible without the grain moving underneath.
Marcus Abbott: You still love her, right?
Lee Abbott: Of course I do.
Marcus Abbott: You should tell her.
Question: The father seems to be a very scientific guy. But why hasn't he built some "sound-grenades" which they always carry around and throwing them away to distract the dangerous aliens when they are near? (for example loud toys, egg timers, etc.).
Answer: Possibly because it would be too dangerous. Most times an object like that could not be thrown far enough away to allow the family to escape, particularly in a panicked situation. A creature might be momentarily distracted, but would quickly zero in on them as very frightened children would probably be yelling, screaming, and crying.
