The director of Pig makes a franchise film that would be worthy on its own.
As Day One’s title suggests, the film brings us back to the beginning of things, set in the time just before Earth was invaded by a scourge of monsters who navigate and hunt by sound—casting their human prey into a life of tensely managed silence. The world is loud at the start of Michael Sarnoski’s film, but is already ending. At least for one person, Sam , who is living her final days in hospice care, sullen and snippy and angry about her lot in life.
Sarnoski seems to be good at subverting genre expectations—where one expects blood and fury, he instead offers pathos. Appreciated as that is, it means that Day One is not exactly the thrill ride some might be expecting. There are the requisite suspenseful scenes in which Sam and Eric try to keep quiet as they skirt by monsters, but the movie is perhaps missing one extra set piece.
