However, the film never becomes bloated or over-the-top, for it mostly remains very grounded in its own world. The action set pieces now vary in terms of location and are more outdoor-centric. The horror elements are still present and continue to play upon your anxiety with shots of minuscule objects that make the most noise like a leaf crinkling, a metal fence rattling, or a door creaking, which could all lead to your death. There are enough close-ups of dirty, musky feet to make Tarantino blush while maintaining the continuity that this family did not take a bath or clean their feet for WEEKS! All the recognizable elements of the predecessor return and the film (more or less) maintains continuity. Also, the film keeps the excellent sound mixing that puts you in the perspective of the deaf Regan Abbott. Given that the characters are now venturing beyond their small borders and into other locations, you get to see more of this apocalyptic wasteland on a larger scale. Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II mostly retains the identity of its predecessor in style and tone. After that prologue, you still have an essentially small-scale follow-up that is more character-driven than your typical studio sequel.
The death count via these alien creatures is four times higher than it was in the first film. From the tense opening prologue sequence that depicts the day of the alien invasion, you just know Paramount gave John Krasinski all the money to make this larger-scale follow-up. With the death of her father still fresh on her mind, Regan feels it’s her responsibility to take action and continue her father’s legacy by using her badass abilities to save the world.īecause it’s a sequel, A Quiet Place Part II goes bigger, louder, and more chaotic than before. Eventually, and under unlikely circumstances, they meet up with Lee’s brother Emmett (Cillian Murphy), who has secluded himself in an abandoned warehouse. Set literally one minute after the events of the predecessor, the Abbotts venture out of the house and into the unknown as quietly as they can.

We couldn’t see this post-apocalyptic movie without having to go through an apocalypse ourselves. Then, that sequel got hella delayed for obvious reasons (it got canceled literally a day before I was supposed to attend the press screening in 2020 and everything became a mess). Because the movie didn’t cost much to make and it made a huge profit for Paramount, a sequel was commissioned. It was a surprisingly fleshed-out small-scale horror film with skillful direction, genuine scares, great ASL representation, and a fittingly poignant narrative about parenthood. A few years ago, John Krasinski went from the world of indies to the realm of horror with A Quiet Place, a tense and inventive horror film that played with your anxiety through sound.
