16 Similar Scary Movies To Stream After Watching 'A Quiet Place'

The experimental nature of "A Quiet Place" sets it apart from most horror films, but the film's use of silence to rile up audiences is only part of what makes it special. At its heart, "A Quiet Place" and its sequel, "A Quiet Place II," are stories about parental love and family. Yes, there are aliens lurking on the outskirts and all sorts of apocalyptic drama to navigate, but nothing is more important to parents Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and Lee (John Krasinski) than ensuring the stability of their children.

And they are not alone. The horror genre is full of moms and dads who would do anything to keep their kids safe. As we wait for "A Quiet Place 3" (and it's going to be a long time - the movie doesn't arrive until 2025!), these 16 movies like the original exemplify parental devotion.
