A Quite Place: Day One (out Jun 27) is a prequel to the movies released in 2018 and 2021. It features more great production values (love the use of sound as always) but the script isn't as strong. Falls into the trap of having characters do unrealistic things (rescuing a cat) to create tension. Needed more drama. Grade: B.
