‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Puts a Refreshing Spin on Man Versus Monster Movies
Balanced between two genres, this third installment is neither unbridled horror nor a terrifying disaster flick, instead telling an introspective character journey against the backdrop of a cataclysmic event. The movie has been praised both critically and publicly, going some way towards the film’s sustained showing at the global box office. To add a third installment to a franchise and remove almost all of its recognizable features is a brave move, although introducing a multi-talented lead likeLupita Nyong’odoes take away from some of the risk, such is her deserved pulling power.
In herreview of the movie for Collider,Emma Kielysaid:
“A Quiet Place: Day Onehas way more to say about humanity than the trailer would have you think. As we’ve seen humans fight to survive any situation possible,Day Onemanages to stand out in both its subgenre and its franchise by taking a different approach to man vs. monster. While it may not be the best horror movie or even action flick, its brilliant characterization, simple but effective script, and outstanding performances make it a strong contender in the action/alien/survival subgenres.”
