18 Movies You’ll Enjoy If You Liked ‘A Quiet Place’

It is no secret that A quiet place is one of the most brilliant horror films ever made. From the mounting tension to the terrifying jump scares to the expert use of sound, John Krasinski’s 2018 film is effective enough to send chills down anyone’s spine. The same can be said of its equally terrifying sequel, A Quiet Place 2which broke several box office records. After years of anticipation and speculation, the prequel, A quiet place: first dayhas finally arrived. This sleight of hand brings things back to the beginning. New York City is under attack by an alien invasion, but there’s a rather twisted catch: these aliens are attracted to the slightest noise, meaning the only possible way to survive is to remain silent at all times.

Director Michael Sarnoski recently told IndieWire that the film is an early look at how creatures’ physiognomy evolves.A quiet place: first day “The movies show us how they feed on human flesh and hide in packs,” Sarnoski told the publication, adding, “I liked that they didn’t show them too much in the early movies. One of the scariest things about these creatures is this ‘if you make a sound, you die’ thing. There’s something simple and fundamental about that that everyone can relate to. I didn’t want to give away too much to the point where they just become scary, clawed creatures, but at the same time, we wanted to achieve that scope and scale of ‘this is a big invasion, and there are herds of these things in this very noisy city.’ A lot of the work was breaking that down and starting with not showing too much and then building up a little bit more in front of you.”
