About A Quiet Place: Day One

A quiet place: Day one is the origin story of how the world was besieged by aliens who targeted their victims with sound. With minimal dialogue, the suspenseful thriller sets up an emotional story of two humans and a cat who manage to survive despite all odds.

A quiet place, day one: Storyline

The terminally ill Sam ( Lupita Nyong’o ) leaves her hospice for a day out in New York City, which for many turns out to be the last normal day. After a sudden meteorite shocks the city, citizens are plagued by blind aliens who prey on the slightest sound. Those who survive the initial attack must find a way to survive. Sam and her service cat Frodo defy the odds and make an unlikely friend.

A Quiet Place, Day One: Writing and Directing

Sarnoski and Krasinski’s story is simple but effective. Sarnoski uses sound and silence to create an atmosphere of fear. Even with few characters, the feature quickly grabs us and makes us worry about the two human and one feline protagonists. Sarnoski treats the film more as a human drama than a science fiction horror, which raises the stakes. More than the sudden UFO attacks, it is the quiet moments between characters that stay with you. Joseph Quinn‘s character arrives almost halfway through, but still manages to impact the viewers.

A quiet place, day one: performances

Oscar winner Nyong’o is fantastic as the bitter but courageous Sam. She leads the film with quiet grace, playing a cancer patient who has one last wish for a perfect moment in New York. Quinn brings a vulnerability to his character Eric, a British expat who finds his person in Sam. Alex Wolff is also notable as Sam’s hospice nurse Reuben, and the ever-reliable Djimon Hounsou is a familiar face from the previous film. The scene stealer of the film is a pair of cats named Schnitzel and Nico, who play the fearless and surprisingly well-behaved Frodo. I had a fair amount of anxiety, wondering what would happen to him next.

A quiet place, day one: critical

While A Quiet Place: Day One is a good addition to the previous films, it can be watched without seeing them. The technical aspects are also ace. The VFX of the bloodthirsty aliens in a devastated New York are impressive. But the highlight of the film is the glorious sound design that keeps viewers grounded in the story. The use of songs and music is also sparing; certain tracks add extra emotional impact. With sensitive, layered performances from the leading actors, A quiet place: day one is a heartwarming horror thriller.
