Just got back from Quiet Place Day One.

I think it's pretty good. To me it seemed more of a film that just so happened to be set in AQP's universe and was much more character interaction driven than the other two films in the series. This one is a lot more about the individuals that make up the story, mostly just the main character but her sidekick gets some time to shine also. It's easy to forget at times that this is a Quiet Place franchise film I think because while the monsters are still there, they're much more of a device and the film feels much less about them. Which I think was a smart move here, because as much as critics and audiences seemed to have adored the second film, I kinda thought it didn't need to exist. In retrospect, I was probably too tough on it and perhaps I should give it another chance.

I'm glad the film franchise is succeeding either way. Even though it couldn't top Inside Out 2 this weekend at the box office, it still shattered any other 2024 horror release's theatrical gross so far. Horror sort of needs a win in that department right now, even though apparently this movie cost them $67m to make and after watching it... I just don't see what they spent that much money on. It's a good movie and it looks nice, but I've seen films look just as good for a third of such a budget.
