A Quiet Place: Day One

The plot is non-existent. The characters are bland and they rely too much on the monsters to create tension. You become desensitized to the monsters quickly and maybe you will start feeling sleepy like I did. Come to think of it, the monsters kinda look a little goofy with their watermelon heads.

The action is formulaic and very derivative. Make some noise. Monster appears. Hide from monster. Maybe someone dies, maybe no one dies. Rinse and repeat. Combined with a simple plot and it is a snooze-fest.

I am a big fan of the first film and this one falls short of it in nearly every aspect. I would not recommend this film to fans of the series.
