Entertainment critic Derek Sante checks out The Quiet Place: Day One, My Lady Jane

In theaters comes Kevin Costner’s dream of the Old West with Horizon: An American Saga. A film that focuses on many stories of the Old West, but extremely gritty and true to history. We follow many people on their quests for a better and sometimes just life. An interesting film that might be spreading its arms a little wide, but with many parts to this saga in Costner’s mind.
