A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

The #15 biggest box office hit of 2024 so far, A Quiet Place: Day One stars Kenyan Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o (Us, Black Panther) as Sam, a terminally ill cancer patient who finds herself trapped in New York City during the early stages of an invasion by alien creatures with ultra-sensitive hearing.

The prequel is the third instalment in the A Quiet Place film series, and has already racked up a Fangoria Chainsaw Award nomination for Best Lead Performance for Nyong'o.

A Quiet Place: Day One has an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Guardian’s 4/5-star review says Day One is “a bleak, bruising but also curiously life-affirming account of the start of the end of the world.”  

MTV TV Award winner Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things’ Eddie Munson) co-stars alongside MTV Movie Award nominee Alex Wolff (Hereditary). Also look out for Benin’s Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou, Zimbabwean child actor Takunda Khumalo, and award-winning Rwandan actress Eliane Umuhire.
