A Quiet Place: Day One

A love story between a New Yorker and a slice of pizza.

There’s something surreal about walking out onto the streets of New York after having just witnessed the city succumb to a brutal alien invasion.

New Yorkers quietly shuffling out began ‘shushing’ the popcorn maker. The sidewalk was filled with the jumpiest of pedestrians, darting eyes over their shoulders at the slightest noise. The third film in the “A Quiet Place” series is easily one of the best. It’s hard to beat a prequel that tells a story that’s been teased for 6 years. It gives a whole new meaning to “Silent Film”.

Before the movie begins, we’re greeted with a slow zoom-in to Manhattan with the titles overlaid: “New York gives off an average of 90 decibels, which is the sound of a constant scream.”
