Oscar voters rarely embrace horror films but the genre had a banner year at last year’s Academy Awards thanks to “Get Out” with four major nominations. After capturing the zeitgeist, Jordan Peele won the Original Screenplay category, and his film came within striking distance of winning Best Picture. This year, there are three horror entries looking to put academy members under a spell.
“A Quiet Place”is the ninth highest grossing film of 2018, having made almost $200 million since it was released in April. The film stars Emily Blunt and John Krasinski (who also directed) as a couple trying to protect their children in a post-apocalyptic world where creatures hunt humans by sound. The theme of familial bonds and the terrifying absence of dialogue for most of the runtime turned “A Quiet Place” into a hit with audiences and critics.
The film’s best Oscar chances lie in below the line categories.
