A Quiet Place: Day One

The third installment of the Quiet Place franchise, A Quiet Place: Day One, is now streaming on Paramount+.  Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski and starring Lupita Nyong'o, this film takes us to the first day of the alien invasion.  

Day One is able to stand up on its own as a very good prequel to the events of A Quiet Place 1 & 2. We get to learn a lot more about the monsters and see a totally new storyline. Similar to the first 2 films, it is shot and written in such a masterfully way that you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat just praying that the main characters will pull through. Sarnoski did a brilliant job of showing the absolute chaos that ensued during the invasion and really bringing to light the terror that the characters are feeling. Nyong'o' s performance is harrowing and with this film she has cemented herself as a scream queen. 

A Quiet Place: Day One is a fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional movie that is worthy of the first 2 films of the Quiet Place franchise. I am not sure if there are any plans for more, but I certainly hope there are. 

Thanks for reading!
