A Quiet Place: Day One

Introduction

I wasn't expecting to write this today, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and so I want to share it with you.

This is a Netflix film, but I am not sure if it is available on other platforms.

I have seen the other films in this franchise and enjoyed them, and expected this one to follow the same sort of path.

It didn't.

I will not include any spoilers, but will say that if you can deal with the aliens, you will be rewarded by watching this.

Day One:

It starts in a hospice, and Lupita Nyong'o's character is suffering from a terminal illness. She has a cat.

The aliens hit.

The aliens track their prey by sound, any sound, so a miaowing cat is not likely to help survival, but the cat plays a big part in the film, or it did for me.

She is then semi-stalked by Joseph Quinn, and the film becomes a two-hander.

Empire describes it as a "surprisingly tender tale".

Despite being a horror, it took an unexpected turn for me and reminded me of the Apple TV film "The Gorge" which I covered here:

Conclusion

I thought this was an excellent film, and would recommend it to anyone who can take the roller coaster of the alien attacks.

Thank you for reading.
