Quiet

Summary
3 years after a traumatic incident, Julia White searches for a therapist to help with her experiences. However, the therapist may find the incident linked to a series of terrifying events, and it unwraps your true fears...

Creation
Quiet began filming in 2017 in Seattle, Washington. The film was then edited and was given final touches all the way through 2018, and the rest of the year was being given a rating by the MPAA.

Announcement
Quiet was announced on August 19, 2019 and originally had a release date scheduled for Halloween of 2019. However, the release date was pushed forward due to a technical issue, and was moved to Halloween of 2022.

Rating Problem
As Quiet was being rated by the MPAA, it was stuck in between a PG-13 and R rating. If it had a PG-13 rating, it would be like: "PG-13 - Disturbing images, some language, and terror" but the R rating would be "R - Disturbing imagery, language, terror" The rating was hard to decide for a while, but it was decided to give it a R rating and release the PG-13 version in select theaters.

Digital Release
Quiet was officially released on digital and Blu-Ray on October 31st, 2022, along with the PG-13 cut.

Controversy
When the film released, it gained controversy for containing a specific scene that led some audience members to violent behavior influenced by the scene. The scene showed someone with a chainsaw, blood smeared on their face, and them murdering several people off-screen. However, the scene was cut out from all copies of the movie and will be included in the Unrated cut of Quiet, releasing digitally on November 27th.

Rotten Tomatoes
The film recieved a 96 by critics and a 67 by audience members. "Quiet is a perfect mix of bloody and intense sequences and terrifying imagery that won't escape your mind."

Metacritic
The film recieved a 82 on Metacritic.

Common Sense
The film recieved a 5 star rating on Common Sense. And it was recommended for 15+ by both parents and kids. "Quiet is a memorable film that will not escape your mind even after several months. The film contains very violent and intense scenes. Such as a shooting scene in a mall, and an intense and bloody chase opening. There is surprisingly not very strong language for a R film. The B word and the F bomb are both used five times throughout the film. There is one kissing scene, no other scenes."

Rating
Quiet is Rated R (Restricted) for Disturbing imagery, language, and terror. The PG-13 cut is for Language, fear, and disturbing images. The Unrated cut (originally marked NC-17) was originally for Non-stop use of extremely gory violence and mild uses of extreme language.

Sequel Announcement
The sequel "The Mankeeper" was announced the same day the Unrated cut of Quiet was released digitally. (November 27, 2020) and will release somewhere in 2023 or 2025.

Leaked Content
A Reddit user (who is now deleted) leaked content from The Mankeeper. Such as the poster, the NC-17 cut, several photos from the film, and drawings of future monsters. The post was soon deleted. However, a few days later, another Reddit user (who is anonymous still) leaked the page for The Mankeeper's soundtrack on Spotify, which was a major spoiler warning since the track names link to several events in the film. The page was soon taken down from Spotify until further notice.

Release Date
On January of 2021, another trailer for The Mankeeper dropped on YouTube, including the release date, in February of 2023 until further notice.
