A Quiet Place: Day One could have just been another lame ass, half-baked prequel. However Day One is actually a damn fine little film.
Maybe my expectations for a good film are so low this year, that he third instalment in the A Quiet Place film series actually kept me on the edge of my seat for this survival/horror/end of days film.
Starring Lupita Nyong'o, Joseph Quinn, and Alex Wolff, with Djimon Hounsou reprising his role from the second film.
Lupita Nyong'o plays a terminally ill woman during the beginning stages of an invasion in New York City by blind extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing. The film received positive reviews from critics, with N’Yongo’s performance garnering widespread acclaim.
Honestly the sweet cat, Frodo made a lot of the film for me. So sweet! However, apparently Nyong'o's had asked the director, if they could change the animal due to a fear of cats, which she ultimately overcame with cat therapy.
I couldn't imagine this film without Frodo.
Honestly I am not surprised Emily Blunt revealed that director, Michael Krasinski has plans for a third and final A Quiet Place film. Acknowledging that he had wanted to see how the second instalment was received before moving forward on the next film, she stated it is intended to be a trilogy.
In July, Blunt confirmed that Krasinski is working on a third and final instalment, separate from the spin-off movie, with intentions to once again serve as director.
In February 2022, A Quiet Place Part III was officially announced with a scheduled release date in 2025.
So we will see the fourth and final film next year. Yet another sequel here we come in the new year.
That said, this has been a surprise little film series to go far. The day one story was interesting, if not a little predictable, but still good.
I might be grading this a little high, however it was good to get back to the cinema, see you for Twisters in a week and a bit!
3.5 Stars.
