Zoe Kravitz makes her directorial debut with this psychological thriller that will have you questioning reality. Naomi Ackie Master of None stars as Frida, a woman who is invited to a shady billionaire's Channing Tatum private island for several days of partying with her friend Jess Alia Shawkat. The vibes are off from the start, and when Jess disappears, none of the other guests remember her, and Frida is having trouble remembering her, too.
In fact, Frida is having trouble remembering much at all, and when she makes an effort to remember, she uncovers the sinister truth of the island. It's a dark and twisty thriller with a star-studded cast. Spinoff prequels fail more often than they succeed, but this expansion of the Quiet Place franchise does it right. When the big-eared aliens come, she decides she's not going out like that and fights to survive, with the help of her new friend Eric Joseph Quinn and her cat Frodo.
It succeeds thanks to its bigger scale than the first two Quiet Place movies, strong emotions, and wonderful cat performances from Nico and Schnitzel as Frodo. If you like genuinely original and audacious indie comedy, you need to check out this film festival hit from writer-director Mike Cheslik and writer-actor Ryland Brickson Cole Tews. Tews plays a 19th century applejack manufacturer who goes to war with hundreds of beavers that are destroying his orchard.
