A Quiet Place: Day One - Movie Reviews (2024)

It's refreshing to see an apocalyptic movie where the focus is not on cruelty, but rather on people looking after each other.

Powered by an awards-worthy turn from Lupita Nyong'o, horror sequel 'A Quiet Place: Day One' makes some impressive noise.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2024

Nyong’o and Quinn's performances are powerful and heartfelt. Sarnoski does a fantastic job of raising the tension to an unnerving level and keeping it there throughout the film.

The unbelievability of A Quiet Place’s central conceit hasn’t held the series back the way it could due to focus on characters as much as suspense. Day One takes that even further, pushing its threats to the edge of the screen to better center its humans.

Lovers of cinema will also find solace in seeing a good, old-fashioned creature feature thriller, albeit one with some deeper thoughts buried in the dreck.

This origin chapter plays to its own beat while still connecting to the broader world established by John Krasinski. In other words, this is precisely how a prequel should be done.

This thrilling franchise delivers another immersive big screen experience that rattles your senses and resonates in your heart.[Full Review in Spanish]

The key to these films has always been a need to be quiet as even inconsequential noise attracts the hungry creatures... However, this movie features a surprising amount of talking, which... doesn’t feel like it’s keeping with the spirit of the franchise.

Less a terrifying thrill ride and more of an introspective examination of emotional extremes.

A Quiet Place: Day One is a great theater multi-genre tentpole experience with two great lead performances that remind us of Lupita’s star power.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 29, 2024

It’s not a bad movie, certainly one worth watching, but it’s also not as inventive as it could and should have been, considering the abundant skills of the people involved.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 28, 2024

Its artful dramatic approach may not sit well with some viewers looking for a more traditionally harrowing and exciting monster movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 28, 2024

... follows the template of its predecessors by telling a similar story of resilience and survival with a different set of characters in a different setting. By the next day, it doesn’t have much new to say.

I thought “Day One” might be good; I didn’t expect it to be moving.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10 | Jun 28, 2024

It’s kind of a miracle that A Quiet Place: Day One is as good as it is.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 28, 2024

Fun is fun, but without proper character development, Day One is more fast food than a hardy meal.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 28, 2024

I can’t help but feel they are just retreading the same path, almost as if no one thought beyond the initial success of the first film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 28, 2024

A Quiet Place: Day One fails at expanding the possibilities of the concept beyond presenting it in its most maudlin form.

The new installment expands its scope but feels more intimate.

Overall, the performances were freaking phenomenal.
