Lots of Positive First Reactions Surface For A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE

The first reactions have surfaced for Paramount Pictures’ upcoming horror film A Quiet Place: Day One, which takes place prior to the events of the first two films in the franchise.

As you’ll see from the reviews, critics are loving the film! The movie is described as “terrifying and beautiful,” “emotionally taxing,” “heart-pounding,” “big heart,” and it is filled with “scary monster carnage.”

The movie takes audiences back to the very beginning when the aliens first invaded planet Earth. Creator John Krasinski previously said of the film, “We follow Lupita Nyong’o’s character as she navigates the horrific first moments of the alien invasion in the loudest city of the world, New York City.”

The movie has a solid cast that includes Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, and Djimon Hounsou. The movie was written and directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig).

A Quiet Place: Day One will be released in theaters on June 28th, 2024.

A Quiet Place: Day One is excellent.

It didn’t have as much apocalypse-falling carnage as I’d hoped for but the human story told here is both terrifying and beautiful.

Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn are great. Nice new bits of lore, too. Plus, the cat is a star. pic.twitter.com/X7JGLHU06A

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE is a bleak & extremely tense summer blockbuster. Emotionally taxing, this third entry in the horror franchise is at its best when it highlights those small but vital glimmers of humanity & hope in despairing times. Lupita Nyong’o & Joseph Quinn do their… pic.twitter.com/90b8PBNvur

A Quiet Place: Day One is easily my favorite in this franchise. It's human & raw & is a story about the desperation that exists when all hope is lost & how that turns into a deep connection with each other. Joseph Quinn, you movie star! Lupita Nyong'o has an Oscar for a REASON. pic.twitter.com/Mm4XffHHLs

Loved #AQuietPlace. Left me with some questions but it was this movie takes the heart pounding tense moments on a grander scale compared to the first two films.

Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn were fantastic and yes that damn cat will have you screaming at the screen. pic.twitter.com/eFPzyF62lO

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE might be my favorite of the series. The city setting brings new thrills and nail-biting suspense.

But what truly sets this apart is Lupita Nyong'o and director Michael Sarnoski telling a poignant story about finding inner peace, even during the apocalypse. pic.twitter.com/ja8PBehO7G

A Quiet Place: Day One is a little less scary but with a bigger heart. The scares are predictable. The cat is a scene stealer as you'll hold your breath every time he appears, which is either a good or a bad thing. Joseph Quinn and Lupito Nyong'o performances were fine. But, all… pic.twitter.com/8CvXOASuuz

@AQuietPlace is extraordinarily raw exploring the resilience and underestimation of simple human interaction. My favorite of the franchise thus far and a star showcase for Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn. #AQuietPlace #DayOne pic.twitter.com/snyqQAQ6TE

Probably no surprise here, but Lupita Nyong’o is a stellar anchor for the film. Her energy and fight are hugely captivating, and she’s a total ace digging into character complexities. And the same is true of Joseph Quinn, too. His arc and relationship with Lupita’s character…

Loved #AQuietPlaceDayOne. It ups the tension from the first two by adding a slew of aliens to the mix. But at its heart, this an emotional story of two lost people finding themselves again. Schnitzel the 🐈 totally steals the show. The ending is outstanding. #aquietplace #nyc pic.twitter.com/t8NMWGKkdI

Loved A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE.

Thematically, if PART I and II are more akin to ALIEN — small, quiet moments of terror — DAY ONE is closer to ALIENS.

Big, loud and scary monster carnage.

Nyong’o gives a heartbreaking weight to her role — and the final shot will leave you BROKEN. pic.twitter.com/8P5A1XGpxJ
