What is A Quiet Place: Day One about?
In a nutshell, it’s a prequel that takes us back to the very beginning — how did the world get so darn quiet? The film explores the initial moments of the alien invasion that forced humanity into hushed whispers and sneaky survival tactics.
Where does A Quiet Place: Day One take place?
While the original films took place in rural America, A Quiet Place: Day One shifts gears and brings the terror to an urban setting. Although the story is set in New York, London’s historic and modern landscapes seamlessly stand in to showcase the chaos of the initial alien attack.

How does A Quiet Place: Day One connect to the original film?
This prequel sets the stage for the events of the first two movies. Think of it as the ultimate backstory, revealing the origins of those terrifyingly silent times.
Should I watch A Quiet Place 1 or 2 first?
It’s a bit like the chicken and the egg. But, for the full spine-chilling experience, start with the first movie, follow up with the sequel, and then dive into Day One for the full backstory. Or go rogue — Day One first, and then watch the others with newfound appreciation!
Does the cat live in A Quiet Place: Day One?
Pets and alien invasions don’t usually mix well, but a cat named Frodo has to be special, right? Fun fact: Frodo is played by two cats in the movie, and cats are said to have nine lives. So, that’s at least 18 lives, give or take! But we’re getting sidetracked. Let’s just say, the movie keeps you on your toes (and on the edge of your seat) about everyone’s fate.
What are the aliens eating in A Quiet Place: Day One?
Well, these extraterrestrial beings aren’t exactly foodies. They’re more into making noise with their dinner bell, if you catch our drift. So, staying quiet is crucial to avoid becoming the next item on their menu.
How scary is A Quiet Place: Day One?
On a scale from 1 to “I-need-new-pants,” this movie definitely leans towards the latter. The tension, the silence, the sudden alien appearances — it’s a horror lover’s dream (or should we say, nightmare?).
Why is John Krasinski not directing it?
John Krasinski, the genius behind the first two films, decided to pass the directorial torch for this prequel to Michael Sarnoski. Krasinski wanted to bring a fresh perspective to the story. But don’t worry, he’s still very much involved, ensuring the film stays true to its terrifying roots.

Is Emily Blunt in A Quiet Place: Day One?
Emily Blunt fans, brace yourselves — she’s not in this one (and neither is John Krasinski). The focus shifts to new characters and their stories of survival during the initial chaos.
Who is in the cast of A Quiet Place: Day One?
This prequel boasts a stellar cast, including the incredibly talented Lupita Nyong’o and the charismatic Joseph Quinn. Their performances are sure to keep you speechless.
