A Quiet Place: Day One

"Really good prequel to the first two in the series. No new ground necessarily and by now you know what you’re going to get. But it’s still chilling and exciting. Lupita Nyong’o continues to prove that’s she’s an absolutely fantastic actress in everything she does. "

"The two main actors were phenomenal, but it’s not my favorite of the Quiet Place franchise. Still very good though."

"Just as suspenseful as the others in the series, this movie will make you hold your breath and not want to move. I loved the performances, and some scenes in particular were really fascinating. I had to go into this with the right expectations- you won't get explanations for the aliens, you won't get much more information, but you will get more of what you loved from the first movies (with somewhat less dialogue). The dialogue in this is extremely visual, and you need to analyze if you want to know why someone did something."

"Even though I don’t like jump scare movies that much, I enjoy the story they made to go with it so it wasn’t as bad. Like another person mentioned, I did wish they put more story into why the creatures ended up landing on earth. Other than that, I enjoyed Lupita Nyongo’s character and her sassy attitude despite the fact she was already dying from a disease. They don’t specify either which disease she was dying from but I guess they didn’t feel the need to say what it was. And how the hell did the cat stay quiet basically the whole time??? I figured it would have meowed or hissed at the aliens whenever those aliens would come nearby. Either way, I enjoyed the casting choices they made and love those actors. I’d say it’s worth the watch if you’re not a huge fan of horror films. "

"It was a more personal take on “day one” than I expected but I enjoyed it all the same. "

"Acting was great but the story is not what I expected. I was expecting maybe a little more insight into why or where they came from. Was left wanting, and therefore looked out of necessity to find out more lol"

"SOOOO GOOOD! After I left the theater I was still thinking about how good it was. The characters were so interesting and had a good chemistry together. It really felt like they went from strangers to friends. The letter at the end ofc had me crying 😭 "

"im getting my pizza no matter what"

"Best iteration of the “A Quiet Place” concept by far. Great acting. Amazing cat. The jump scares are great for movie-goers. The balance of on-the-edge-of your-seat moments and tear-jerker moments is excellent. "

"I rather enjoyed this film. The acting was great, the cinematography was amazingly done. The cat was cute. The storyline was good, but I felt they could have been more creative and done more with it. It would have opened the door to more potential possibilities for the writers and directors to explore within the universe. A lot was left up to imagination. I don’t know if I would rewatch it honestly. It was able to keep my attention but I don’t think there’s much potential for replay value. 8/10."
