... I am going to write a screenplay for a post-apocalyptic movie where people who have a strong smell get killed by monsters. Your armpits stink, you get killed. You fart, you get killed. You eat garlic, you get killed. Everyone has to shower all the time (using neutral soap only), brush their teeth frequently, and avoid any food that might give you gas.
What do you think? Do I have a hit in my hands?

I'd watch it...blindfolded, not making a sound...or smell.  |

Smell is one of the tougher things to portray in film as a sight and sound medium and the audience is always going to be disconnected. They can't feel it in the same way as blindness or deafness where you can black the screen or mute the audio to hammer it in. An actor can visibly recoil from a stench or say something smells good but we're not really experiencing it so if that's the conceit, you're going to have to portray it visually somehow or have repetitious dialogue pointing out how things smell. Gimmicks aside, you can't smell a film, so unless you take it to a campy extreme where some sweaty fat guy is rubbing himself with garlic in a sewer, most people aren't going to be able to get what's going on. |

Aren't the conceits of those two films actually different though. I haven't seen either but I'm gathering in A Quiet Place the characters can't make a sound or they'll attract the attention of the creatures and be killed. The equivelant using vision would be they can't be seen or they'll attract the attention of the creatures and be killed not they can't see because they'll see something so "scary" that the creatures have created they'll die/kill themselves.
Your idea would make a good parody though.
