A Quiet Place is a franchise created by John Krasinski that, since its premiere, has captivated horror fans with unique and tense proposals. Now, after the first two original parts, A Quiet Place: Part II has just arrived, a prequel that tells how Earth reached this moment of collapse due to the extraterrestrial invasion narrated in the previous films.
Although not many were expecting this sequel, the first reviews have just come out and surprisingly, they are excellent. Below, we present the comments from some of the top critics in the United States who have already seen it.
First reviews of A Quiet Place: Day 1
“A Quiet Place: Day 1 happily maintains the human scale of the previous films. However, it is clearly inspired by movies like Signs, War of the Worlds, The Thing, and the early films of Alien. Interestingly, the movie that it reminded me the most of was The Pianist, by Roman Polanski” – Graeme Tuckett, Stuff
“Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, and the scene-stealing cat raise the bar of this apocalyptic horror film with a blend of subtly moving character-driven drama” – Casey Chong, Casey Movie Mania
“A Quiet Place: Day 1 is an exciting prequel that balances emotional depth with thrilling suspense. Lupita Nyong’o’s standout performance and the fresh twist given to the franchise make it a must-see movie… despite some predictable points in the main plot” – Marco Vito Oddo, We Got This Covered
“Although the relationship formed between these characters is one of the most effective elements of the film, nothing surpasses how the script puts the protagonist’s cat in danger over and over again” – Juanma Fernández París, El Nuevo Día
