Joseph Quinn as Eric in A Quiet Place: Day One
The Big Picture A Quiet Place: Day One would have been a completely different movie had they not deleted a crucial moment between Eric and Samira in which he reveals that he is gay and was contemplating suicide before the creatures arrived. A Quiet Place: Day One is more than a prequel; it’s a character-driven alien invasion horror movie that is about appreciating life and fighting for survival, and the deleted scene would have provided more depth to the themes of the story.
1 Quinn’s impressive performance in those 120ish seconds not only brings the audience closer to his character but also proves that he has the chops to shine alongside the immensely talented, Oscar-winning Lupita Nyong’o, who is a powerhouse in any role she takes on. Keeping the scene could have provided a more dynamic and interesting duality between the two characters, with Eric having the ability to pick death over life and Samira having no choice due to her terminal illness.
The concept of "otherness" has always been at the core of horror, representing the subconscious fears of mainstream society and the ruling class, which is why queer characters are typically violently punished through death and villains are often queer-coded. Aliens, monsters, zombies, and humanoids are all products of the fear of the unknown or of any deviation from what is considered normal or acceptable in mainstream society.
