'A Quiet Place: Day One' is a riveting return to the day Earth went silent (review)

A man with a flashlight crouches with a woman holding a cat.

Sometimes when you have a hankering for a hot slice of pizza, nothing else will do, even in the face of a sudden infestation of ferocious extraterrestrial visitors hitching rides on an unholy hail of Earth-bound asteroids to wreak havoc on this world for seemingly no good reason at all.

And such is the case in director Michael Sarnoski's ("Pig") impressive third entry in "The Quiet Place" sci-fi horror universe, where we witness a medical patient named Sam (Lupita Nyong'o) and her therapy cat named Frodo on a bus trip to Brooklyn when a growing crescendo of sirens, helicopters, airbursts and explosions herald the arrival of flaming space rocks showering down on Manhattan. Thus begins the silencing of human society on a grand global scale.
