Damn this is a though one to call. Both movies are focused around silence at all costs. No idea which one I like more tbh.

This is close. Both were enjoyable and had a solid premise to work off of, but neither really gripped me as much as they could have. I liked the passion project sensibilities of A Quiet Place, with Krasinski and Blunt both putting their all into a husband-and-wife project that has clearly been on the cards for a while, and the performances, particularly from Blunt and Simmonds were thoroughly commendable, but there were points where the story took the premise to such extremes that it felt more incredulous than scary, and the final shot had me laughing at how tonally wrongheaded it looked; more cheesy than "bad-ass". Don't Breathe doesn't quite strain its credibility as much, but I would argue that made it more safe and predictable, gross-out twist aside. As I said, a close one, but I think the performances in A Quiet Place give it the edge here.
