       As well as giving Elon Musk a hard time, Stephen King likes to spend
       his time on X (formerly Twitter) recommending movies, TV shows and
       books.
        
       His latest positive review? _A Quiet Place: Day One_ , the prequel to
       John Krasinski's apocalyptic blockbuster, this time written and
       directed by Michael Sarnoski. Starring Lupita Nyong'o, _Stranger
       Things_ Djimon Hounsou, and a cat named Frodo, the film takes place in
       New York City during the initial invasion of the franchise's sound-
       hunting monsters.
        
       "A QUIET PLACE DAY 1: The rare "big Hollywood film" that is both
       intimate and textured," wrote King in his post. "(And the cat steals
       the show.)"
        
       It's worth noting that while reviews of _A Quiet Place: Day One_ have
       been generally positive, not everyone is a fan. Mashable's Kristy
       Puchko wrote in her review that the movie doesn't equal the sum of its
       parts.
        
       "The love story at its core can't shine amid the required carnage and
       urban devastation demanded by the prequel's promise," Puchko wrote.
       "The performances — while earnest — can't find footing in the crude
       plotting. The scares, which once were grounded in character and
       uncertainty, lose their luster without either. With all this movie
       tries to wedge in, it's just not enough."
        
       Oh, and if you've seen the movie and still have questions (including
       about the cat!), look no further.
