Her bravery and resourcefulness are invaluable, adding weight and balance to scenes of unbearable tension, from an underwater rescue and a near gang rape to the enormous courage it takes to prevent the the baby from crying while the savage flesh-eating fiends hover overhead. This makes the oldest daughter, Regan, the most important family member because to her, the whole planet is “a quiet place.” Regan is deaf, and maneuvering in a life of trauma and disadvantage comes naturally for her. Seeking refuge in some sort of abandoned warehouse with underground chambers and hideout tunnels, everyone communicates in sign language accompanied by uneven whispering (don’t forget, the monsters can only track you through sound, so the only key to survival is silence). It’s been 474 days since the horror began, and what’s left of the apocalypse is a bleak and hopeless landscape of disaster and wreckage littered with corpses. Krasinski may not be fully back in the role he originated, as the farmer in upstate New York whose world is decimated by carnivorous creatures from outer space, but serving as writer and director, his sequel is still very much a film of his own creation as he continues the panic and pandemonium in full force, focusing on surviving family members.

John Krasinski fans might be disappointed that he is no longer around as part of the plot, except in a brief prologue recreating the first day of the terrors, when he became an early menu item on the bug buffet. A Quiet Place Part II has some of the same punch, but less content and character development, relying entirely on moments of paralyzing terror to keep the weakened narrative afloat. Paramount PicturesĪ Quiet Place, the surprise-hit 2018 shocker about lethal alien insects invading American soil with the sole purpose of eradicating the human race with as much blood and violence as possible, delighted thrill seekers of all ages (including the critics). One year later, signs are looking up for “A Quiet Place.(L to R) Regan (Millicent Simmonds), Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Evelyn (Emily Blunt) brave the unknown in A Quiet Place Part II. That was also when Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson also tested positive for COVID-19. The decision came less than 24 hours after Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell tested positive for the coronavirus. I’m gonna wait to release the film til we CAN all see it together! So here’s to our group movie date! See you soon! #AQuietPlace2.Take2.” As insanely excited as we are for all of you to see this movie. Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what’s going on in the world around us, now is clearly not the right time to do that.
