I’m glad DAY ONE is getting some good notices, but it’s still hard for me to work up much enthusiasm for it after getting repeatedly clobbered by its trailer over the past several months.
The Bikeriders was this for me. But I also go to AFI enough that I sometimes memorize trailers for repertory stuff (INLAND EMPIRE and the Three Colors trilogy from 2022, for instance)
A quiet place seems to be horror fiction with noise quickly resulting in quick horrible death, but it is actually based on recent history. Think of the Anne Frank family,for example, unable to safely make any noise in their hideaway without revealing their location resulting in their deaths. Or the 800,000 Rwandans hiding
in their ceilings who were found and mudered by their neighbors.
Nothing about the DAY ONE trailer made me want to sit through it, but I’m suddenly having a change of heart. Of course, I more want to get out to JANET PLANET this weekend.
I actually liked A Quiet Place 2: Get Quieter, but it was one of the first movies I saw in theaters after COVID, so that may have had a lot to do with it. Still, when I first saw the trailer for this, I was initially a little bummed that it wasn't Part 3! But I'm always down to see my home city get overrun with monsters and/or aliens. I don't think we've had a proper infestation since Cloverfield.
Having watched it I am amazed they used an alternate take/actor to not spoil his scene in the trailers. It's been a while since I've seen that in a big budget film.
Just saw DAY ONE with my teen daughter. One beauty of seeing a movie like this in a full, rowdy theater is that the very nature of the film promotes the audience to be as silent as the protagonists. If only more popular theatre fare could pull this trick off
i was anticipating the rave for janet planet but i am STUNNED that quiet place 3 sounds worthwhile.

I find that sometimes I am eagerly anticipating a new release for the sole reason of not having to see the trailer anymore.
I had to watch that stupid ARGYLL trailer so many times on Twitch.

i would go so far as to say that staying quiet to avoid getting killed predates the modern era and even humanity itself…

Man, even the trailers for Janet Planet make me cry. I have a feeling it's going to rip me to shreds.
please tell me the cat is categorically mute, so I don't spend the entire movie waiting for it to meow and give them away.....
If the cat dies, I will riot.

But does Alex Wolff sadly prepare a meal continuing his trend from the last film
Alas, no meal preparation. He does have a melancholy air about him though.

Having seen it I am firmly behind the idea from Janet Planet of selling out your freeloader friend back to the theater cult when they can’t pay rent.
