This bold prequel finds new things to say in a Quiet Place franchise where characters can’t talk at all.
“A Quiet Place: Day One,” the startlingly effective prequel to the 2018 blockbuster about noise-sensitive aliens that devour anyone who’s ever annoyed a librarian, hits Manhattan with a bang, a nasty body count and a fair amount of audience suspicion. What else is there to say in a franchise whose characters can’t say anything at all?with a bold idea. His lead, Sam , is a terminal cancer patient already steeled for death.
This quixotic trek is more about autonomy than gastronomy, and it turns out to be a satisfying way to squish a global catastrophe into a human-size story. Joining Sam on the adventure are a British law student named Eric , who pads after her because he’s too stunned and scared to think for himself, and her cat, Frodo, a creature so well-behaved that he’s more fantastical than any of the man-chomping nasties.
Sarnoski has only one other feature on his résumé: the intelligent indie chiller “Pig” , starring Nicolas Cage as a vengeful chef. The rising talent seizes this opportunity to poke around why we’re drawn to disaster movies where millions of people die. There are the obvious thrill-seeking reasons, of course, and the movie hurtles us into the horror and chaos of the aliens’ arrival.
