    The man had a great premise in A Quiet Place -- that everyone needs to be quiet -- and then (because he, rightly apparently, has no confidence in the audience at all, and needed to provide "scary" cues") immediately abandoned this for the most obnoxious non-diagetic sound effects imaginable, ruining the entire aesthetic/thematic conceit of the film, and people still went WILD for it.
