Directed by Michael Sarnoski from a script he co-wrote with Jeff Nichols, “A Quiet Place: Day One” (“A Quiet Place: Day One” in Latin America and “A Quiet Place: Day One” in Spain) is a horror film based on an original story by John Krasinski.

Although the exact plot of the film has not been announced, trailers reveal that the protagonists will try to survive the invasion of bloodthirsty alien creatures with ultrasonic hearing in New York City.
