Emily Blunt and John Krasinski star in A Quiet Place, Grace for the World is a live music event at the Vatican, Stephen Mulhern returns with You Bet! on Tour, and there are two Rugby World Cup quarter-finals . . .
Pick of the Day
A Quiet Place, 9.00pm, RTÉ2
On a relatively quiet night on the box (bar that big gig on Disney+), this is the standout – an old school horror movie that's low on gore and high on tension.
It’s a four-hander starring real-life husband-and-wife duo Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, who also directed.
Two parents do whatever it takes to keep their children safe in a world full of creatures hunting every sound they hear.
Nothing can be heard from the family hiding in silence, but all it takes is one noise and everything can go horrifically wrong.
Here’s Hary Guerin’s review from when the movie was first released in 2018.
