Mjeteconer Just perfect...

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

adampsb This was without doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen. There is no explanation about what the aliens are, what they want, where they came from, what they are doing, what they look like.. in fact apart from a couple of shots of their ships you would be hard pressed to realise there were any aliens at all.It has the feel and the ambiance of a good independent movie but just lacks the little things that would have made it a success. The hint that the initial person that enters the house is lying and then repeated by the gang member just isn't elaborated upon enough especially when she says they disagreed on what to do to survive, there is the hit of cannibalism that isn't detailed enough in terms of examining whether he had done so and who he really was with the knowledge of the gang members.The scene where they almost kill themselves by drinking bleach is touching but as all they would have needed to do would be walk up the road it doesn't really have the desired resonanceThe plot is simple enough and the acting reasonable but the characters simply do not develop and in essence the film doesn't really go anywhere which leaves you wishing you hadn't bothered.

Bud Dhuu Visually, this low budget drama is nicely done with atmospheric location and lighting.The performances aren't bad. The main problem is that the actors really had very little to work with, and I feel for them.There is no real plot beyond a very shallow rehash of the besieged-by-nutters theme. The SF/alien aspect is completely superfluous and is in no way required by the travesty that masquerades as a storyline. The dialogue is dreadful, with thin chunks of cliché exposition and old-hat speculations about aliens who the budget will not allow us to see.As is so often the case, the first reviews of this movie are implausibly glowing... and similar. Draw your own conclusions.

Stu Harrison This is a clever sci-fi movie set in the obligatory post-apocalyptic world -- where humans must fight to survive in the midst of an alien invasion. However, it's a surprisingly original and thoughtful first feature by director Stephanie Joalland.Plot summary: teenager Sarah and her brother Tom, who is blind, must defend their lonely farm house against marauding strangers while staying hidden from alien invaders.The Quiet Hour's tiny budget was allocated well. There's a minimal cast and basic sets, yet this little film matches bigger productions with its well paced storyline and polished editing. Definitely recommended.

alanjdenman If you like post-apocalyptic films, the The Quiet Hour is a must-see. In a near future where an alien race has taken over Earth, a sister and her blind teenage brother must survive in a remote farmhouse on their own, with their mother and father both dead. But it's not just the aliens you have to watch out for. In this story the more immediate hostiles are other humans. Claustrophobic, tense, well-acted - Dakota Blue Richards (the Golden Compass) plays the lead as the older sister and is well supported by Karl Davies as her blind younger brother and Jack McCullen as the fugitive who takes refuge in their farmhouse. The sets are highly atmospheric and well-designed to capture the sense of a devastated world and the sound-track adds an emotional depth to the story. The Quiet Hour offers film goers an experience of isolation, courage and hope that is missing from most other films.
