A Quiet Place: Part III

"The setting alone makes the taut and consistently terrifying A Quiet Place: Day One an intense experience that deftly extends a durable franchise. (...) The third chapter of A Quiet Place shows that this smart, reliably frightening series is by no means tapped out. 

"[It] introduces new characters in a new setting that successfully elevates both the tension and the emotional impact of John Krasinski’s nearly dialogue-free horror films. The result is the series’ best movie to date." 

"Call me macabre, but I expected to see a lot more carnage than Sarnoski’s dismayingly sappy spinoff provides" 

"Michael Sarnoski proves deft at the kind of melancholic, subtle character beats usually lacking in these blockbusters. But he lacks the skill set for action (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"As with the others in the series, this is not an upbeat picture, but it is effective and unsettling without being too gory. (...) A Quiet Place: Day One finds touching moments between the silent scares" 

"Michael Sarnoski is a better filmmaker than John Krasinski (...) Against all odds, this is the best movie in the series. How wonderful it is to be surprised." 

"Day One feels more like an ambitious indie than a summer studio movie, and its downbeat tone leaves an unexpectedly glum comedown."
