The first reactions have emerged for Paramount Pictures’ next horror film A quiet place: first daywhich takes place before the events of the first two films in the series.
As you’ll see from the reviews, critics love the movie! The film is described as “terrifying and beautiful”, “emotionally taxing”, “heart-pounding”, “big hearted” and is full of “frightening monster carnage”.
The film takes audiences back to the beginning, when aliens first invaded planet Earth. Creator John Krasinski previously said of the film: “We follow Lupita Nyong’o’s character as she goes through the first horrific moments of the alien invasion in the loudest city in the world, New York City.”
The film has a solid cast including Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Alex WolffAND Djimon Hounsou. The film was written and directed by Michele Sarnoski (Pig).
A quiet place: first day will be released in theaters on June 28, 2024.
A quiet place: the first day is excellent.
There wasn’t the apocalyptic carnage I’d hoped for, but the human story told here is both terrifying and beautiful.
Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn are amazing. There are also some great new pieces of lore. Furthermore, the cat is a star. pic.twitter.com/X7JGLHU06A

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

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

Beloved #A quiet place. It left me with some questions, but it was this film that captured moments of tension and heart-pounding on a larger scale than the first two films.
Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn were amazing and yes, that damn cat will make you scream at the screen. pic.twitter.com/eFPzyF62lO

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE might be my favorite of the series. The city setting brings new emotions and breathtaking suspense.
But what really sets it apart is that Lupita Nyong’o and director Michael Sarnoski tell a touching 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 will hold your breath every time he appears which is a good or bad thing. Joseph Quinn and Lupito Nyong’o’s performances were fine. But everything… pic.twitter.com/8CvXOASuuz

@AQuietPlace is extraordinarily raw exploring the resilience and undervaluation of simple human interaction. My favorite of the series so far and a stellar showcase for Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn. #A quiet place #Day one pic.twitter.com/snyqQAQ6TE

Probably no surprise here, but Lupita Nyong’o is a stellar anchor for the film. Her energy and struggle are extremely captivating, and she’s an ace at delving into the complexities of characters. And the same goes for Joseph Quinn too. His narrative arc and his relationship with Lupita’s character…

Beloved #AQuietPlaceDayOne. Increase the tension of the first two by adding a slew of aliens to the mix. But ultimately, this is the emotional story of two lost people finding themselves. Schnitzel the 🐈 totally steals the show. The ending is exceptional. #a quiet place #nyc pic.twitter.com/t8NMWGKkdI

I really liked A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE.
Thematically, if PART I and II are more like ALIEN – small, quiet moments of terror – DAY ONE is closer to ALIENS.
A big, loud and scary monster carnage.
Nyong’o brings heartbreaking weight to her role – and the final shot will leave you BREAKING. pic.twitter.com/8P5A1XGpxJ
