Hospice patient Samira (Lupita Nyong'o) wearily agreed to join a group outing to Manhattan for a show and a slice. She couldn't have anticipated that the city would become the nexus of an extraterrestrial attack by sightless, sound-sensitive ravagers-or that she'd be thrown together with Brit law student Eric (Joseph Quinn) for a wholly different kind of fight for survival. Stunning prequel entry for the fear franchise from director Michael Sarnoski ("Pig") also stars Djimon Hounsou, Alex Wolff. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
