Curious how the apocalyptic world in A Quiet Placecame to be? Following the success of the first two films, the hit horror franchise has expanded with a prequel dubbed A Quiet Place: Day One. John Kransinski, who directed and starred in the first two films, is no longer involved in the latest, sans a "story by" writing credit. Day Oneinstead is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, who brought us the unique Nic Cage culinary thriller Pigin 2021. The cast is led by Lupita Nyong'o (Us), Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things), Djimon Hounsou, reprising his role from A Quiet Place Part II, and a very cute cat.
A Quiet Place: Day Onedebuted in theaters in late June and made its way to digital on demand services just over a month later. Fast forward another month and the film quietly made its streaming debut. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Day Oneat home — including the best streaming deals to save you some money.
Day Onetakes place in one of the loudest places on Earth: New York City. So, what happens when noise-sensitive aliens crash land in the city that never sleeps? Chaos. That's the main premise of the apocalyptic alien prequel.
The story follows Sam (Nyong'o), a terminally ill hospice patient who reluctantly agrees to take a trip into Manhattan only to find herself stuck in the city when the horrifying extraterrestrials take over. As she navigates the alien apocalypse, Sam and her service cat Frodo attract the attention of a young law student named Eric (Quinn). The odd couple (and the cat) embark on a journey through the city swarming with aliens and their only hope for survival is to remain absolutely silent.
Check out the official trailer for a better idea of what Day One is all about:
Listen, prequels are hard to get right — and they're bound to ruffle some feathers. With an 86 percent critic rating and a 73 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, A Quiet Place: Day Onemostly got it right.
Mashable Film Editor Kristy Puchko thought parts of the film were enchanting. She appreciated the "captivating screen presence" of Nyong'o and Quinn, but felt that "the love story at its core can't shine amid the required carnage and urban devastation demanded by the prequel's promise." Thus, the film as a whole didn't quite equal the sum of its parts.
However, with the largely positive critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, many others felt that the prequel did hold up. That's the best thing about movies — everyone can form their own opinion. For what it's worth, horror master Stephen King gave it his stamp of approval.

Paramount theatrical releases typically head straight to the streaming counterpart after they run in cinemas. A Quiet Place: Day Oneis no different. The film quietly made its streaming debut on Aug. 27 and is now available to stream at your pleasure. Conveniently, A Quiet Placeand A Quiet Place Part IIare both streaming on Paramount+ as well, so you can watch the entire franchise with a single subscription.
Monthly Paramount+ subscriptions start at just $5.99, but there are some ways you can save even more money on your plan. Check out the best Paramount+ streaming deals below.
Want to spend the least amount of money possible to watch A Quiet Place: Day Oneand its predecessors? Your best bet is to sign up for a month of Paramount+ Essential for just $5.99. If you're new to the streamer, you'll also get a seven-day free trial. After you watch, just be sure to cancel your subscription if you want to avoid charges. You'll have to endure some ads while you watch the movie, but just think of them as built-in snack and bathroom breaks.
If you opt for the annual plan instead of the monthly plan, you can save 17% on your subscription. You'll have to pay more upfront, but it pays off in the grand scheme of your streaming lineup. An annual Paramount+ Essential plan will run you $59.99 per year, which breaks down to only $5 per month as opposed to $5.99 per month. If you want to watch more than just Day Oneand you don't mind ads, this is your best bet.
If ads are a deal breaker for you, you'll have to sign up for Paramount+ with Showtime. This ad-free tier will run you either $11.99 per month or $119.99 per year (which breaks down to just $10 per month). The good news is that beyond just giving you access to ad-free Paramount+ content, the extra cost unlocks access to Showtime originals and movies (like Yellowjacketsand The Curse), live TV with CBS, and college football. Although you'll have to pay more, it's definitely a whole lot of bang for your buck.
College students can score a Paramount+ Essential monthly subscription for just $4.50 per month, so long as they can verify their student status using SheerID. Once verified, student discounts are valid for four years, even if you graduate prior to the four-year period. After four years, you'll be charged the standard rate for an Essential monthly subscription.
It may not be the simplest way to watch A Quiet Place: Day One, but a Walmart+ membership gives you free access to Paramount+ and plenty of other sweet benefits. Better yet, you can kick things off with a free 30-day trial, so you can enjoy an entire month of streaming without paying a cent. Just be sure to cancel before your trial ends if you want to avoid charges. If you want to keep your Walmart+ membership going, it'll cost you either $12.95 per month or $98 per year ($8.17/month).
