“A Quiet Place: Day One,” featuring Joseph Quinn from the “Fantastic Four” and Lupita Nyong’o, is experiencing great success on streaming platforms even months following its initial theater release. The movie has been steadily rising in Prime Video’s top 10 listings, showing no signs of slowing down. Released during summer 2024, this film is now receiving the recognition it deserves from Prime Video subscribers after a strong box office run made it one of the standout horror films of the year.
Featuring Quinn and Nyong’o as Eric and Sam, this movie serves as a prequel spin-off to the sci-fi horror film “A Quiet Place,” directed by John Krasinski. In this story, an alien invasion has left the earth hearing-dangerous, and the Abbott family is struggling to survive amidst these sound-sensitive invaders. The plot summary of “A Quiet Place: Day One” goes as follows:
*In the early days of the alien invasion, a single mother named Evelyn and her children, Regan and Marcus, are forced to adapt to their new world where any noise could be lethal. As they navigate this terrifying reality, they must also confront the horrors that lurk within their own home.*
In the initial phase of an extraterrestrial attack on New York City, a young lady called Sam discovers herself caught, due to her exceptional hearing, among beings from another world.
In the story, Eric, a fellow survivor, teams up with Sam and her feline companion, Frodo, as they navigate through Manhattan following an initial assault by aliens who possess extraordinary hearing abilities. As time passes, they come to understand that their best chance at survival lies in remaining silent while making their way towards safety. Interestingly, the narrative bears a striking resemblance to previous films, yet this installment introduces two compelling protagonists as they grapple with an enigma beyond their understanding. A Quiet Place and its sequel, A Quiet Place Part II, present a continuation of the alien invasion saga, where humans appear to have developed tactics for staying silent and have sought refuge in isolated locations.
On a streaming platform’s chart of most-viewed films, “A Quiet Place: Day One” ranks third, with titles like “Red One”, a holiday movie, and “The Fall Guy” starring Ryan Gosling, taking the top spots. Other movies on this list include “The Creator”, a tough sci-fi thriller, Denzel Washington’s “The Equalizer 2”, and “The Beekeeper”, an action film featuring Jason Statham.
A Quiet Place: Day One” is helmed by Michael Sarnoski, who gained recognition following the poignant character study “Pig” starring Nicolas Cage. Krasinski selected Sarnoski based on his previous work. This movie grossed over $261 million worldwide with a production budget of just $67 million, and received rave reviews from critics.

The trilogy of “A Quiet Place” films stands out as must-see examples of contemporary science fiction horror cinema, thanks to director John Krasinski’s innovative approach.

Thankfully, A Quiet Place: Day One didn’t resemble a tired duplicate of its predecessors. The exceptional performances from two leading actors effectively distinguished this installment from earlier stages of the alien invasion. Moreover, director Sarnoski bravely chose expansive landscapes as a backdrop, where the sound design was pushed to its limits.
