In addition to being harsh on Elon Musk, Stephen King also likes to spend his time recommending movies, TV shows, and books on X (formerly Twitter).
His latest positive review? A Quiet Place: Day 1The prequel to John Krasinski’s post-apocalyptic epic was written and directed by Michael Sarnoski and stars Lupita Nyong’o. Stranger ThingsFeaturing Joseph Quinn, Djimon Hounsou, and a cat named Frodo, the film is set in New York City during the franchise’s first invasion of the sound-hunting monsters.
Stephen King loves “Baby Reindeer” so much that he wrote an essay about it.
“A Quiet Place Day 1: The rare Hollywood blockbuster that’s intimate yet precise,” King wrote in the post. “(And the cat steals the show.)”

Of note, A Quiet Place: Day 1 Despite the generally positive reception, not everyone is a fan. Mashable’s Kristy Puchko wrote in her review that the film isn’t equal to the sum of its parts.
“Its central love story fails to shine amid the promised carnage and urban devastation of the first part,” Puchko writes. “The acting is earnest but loses its footing amid the shoddy plot. The horror that was once rooted in characters and uncertainty loses luster without either. For all the film tries to include, it just doesn’t have enough.”
Oh, and if you’ve watched the film and still have questions remaining (including about the cats!), then look no further.
A Quiet Place: Day 1 It’s currently showing in theaters.
