"So, between those two things, it was mostly about us sort of going, ‘OK, then. And he knows what he needs when he gets into the editing room," says Russom. "He’s an actor, so he empathetically knows what you’re up to. "This man is past concern for anyone other - I mean he’s just so lost."įor Russom, getting into the mental state of someone who has lost all hope and sees suicide as his only option was difficult, but Krasinski was a major help. " kept making sure that I made it about me, about what was happening to me, and that I do nothing at all in response to the two of them," explains Russom, referring to the characters played by Krasinski and 13-year-old Jupe. Russom shares how he worked alongside A Quiet Place director and star John Krasinski to make the Man in the Woods' moment feel so powerful, even in such a brief scene. He can’t bear the loss of his wife and the horror that’s going on around him." He’s just completely destroyed by guilt and grief. "This man is in such a state that he can’t really deal with anybody else’s feelings. "It was always about a man who’s staring at blackness, at a horror that he can’t contain and the only way he can react to it is to kill himself, so he has to force himself to scream," explains Leon Russom, the actor behind the holler, when we chat over the phone.
#A QUIET PLACE MONSTER MOVIE#
Yet while little is said in the movie itself about the screaming man in A Quiet Place, the story behind his scene is actually quite poignant.
When a character known as "Man in the Woods" releases a catatonic scream in one scene, it's a game-changer for John Krasinski and Noah Jupe's terrified characters. It's also one of the year's most meme-able flicks for the hushed hypnosis it creates in theaters, but one of A Quiet Place's most memorable moments is actually one of its loudest. The movie, set in a dystopian future where aliens attack humans who don't stay silent, is one of the top 10 grossing films of 2018 and has a 95 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. A film that made each step, breath and twitch sound like a potential deadly explosion, A Quiet Place has become nothing less than a phenomenon.
