Stephen King Loves This New Horror Film, Calling It “both intimate and textured”
Stephen King’s Twitter feed is a veritable cornucopia of film and television recommendations. It seems he is always watching TV and movies. We tend to keep a close eye on what the celebrated author is checking out so we can pass his suggestions on to you. On that note, we have another of King’s picks to share with you today. I’m talking about Michael Sarnoski’s A Quiet Place: Day One.
King checked the film out and has nothing but good things to say. He took to Twitter to praise the flick as simultaneously intimate and textured and gave props to the picture’s cast for a job well done.
Our Sharai Bohannon recently critiqued the film for Dread Central and, like King, had a very positive response. She came away impressed with what Sarnoski is able to do within the confines of a PG-13 horror film. Bohannon awarded the picture four stars and made the following assessment: “A Quiet Place: Day One is big, beautiful, and tense. The film expertly navigates a more interesting avenue found within this world without losing sight of the human condition.”
In case you’re unfamiliar with the setup, it goes like this:
When New York City comes under attack from an alien invasion, a woman and other survivors try to find a way to safety. They soon learn that they must remain absolutely silent as the mysterious creatures are drawn to the slightest sound.
A Quiet Place: Day One stars Joseph Quinn, Lupita Nyong’o, Alex Wolff, and Djimon Hounsou. Sarnoski penned the script in addition to helming the picture.
A Quiet Place: Day One is out now in theaters.
That’s all we have for you at present, dear reader. Stay tuned to the site for more recommendations from cinematic luminaries as we uncover them. Also, be sure to follow @DreadCentral on Twitter so you never miss an update.
