A Quiet Place (2018)

The small noise of an ordinary object can announce danger before the creature is in view. Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn make rustles, footfalls and changing auditory perspectives central to a family's effort to survive predators that hunt by sound. Pay attention to what drops out as well as what becomes louder. This is the most immediate survival-horror route into the list, with substantial jump scares and a sound field that makes empty-looking space feel occupied.
