A Quiet Place: Day One, the big screen release from June this year, is dropped on OTT. Prime Video now rents the apocalyptic horror film for Rs. 389. Based on a plot he devised with John Krasinski, Michael Sarnoski wrote and directed A Quiet Place: Day One. It is the third film in the A Quiet Place franchise, serving as a prequel and spin-off. Lupita Nyong'o plays the role of a dying woman in this sci-fi film set in New York City, just as aliens with acute hearing and no sight are beginning to invade the city. Joining Joseph Quinn and Alex Wolff in the supporting cast is Djimon Hounsou, who returns from A Quiet Place Part II.
Plot and setting of A Quiet Place: Day One
In this eerie prequel to the events of A Quiet Place, relive the day when everything became silent. An ordinary journey for Samira (Lupita Nyong'o) to New York City takes a terrifying turn as unknown, sound-hunting monsters launch an assault. Samira must face a treacherous quest through a city that has suddenly fallen silent, with the help of her cat Frodo and an unlikely ally played by Joseph Quinn. The only rule now is to remain silent in order to survive.
Interestingly, Nyong'o's character has a cat named "Frodo" in the film. Because she was terrified of cats, the actor asked Sarnoski if they could change the animal. After overcoming her anxiety through cat therapy, she eventually got a cat in real life.
Sarnoski conceived Sam as an attempt to challenge genre norms by focusing on a character who had a different relationship to death and survival.
