A Quiet Place Part II (2021)
Though horror movies are ones I tend to avoid, I made it through both A Quiet Place movies. Much more belonging to the thriller genre than horror, they rely on jump-scares and suspense of “will there or will there not be a scary scene coming up”. The creepy aliens, who hear noises and then kill whoever is responsible, are a bit gross to look at, but this isn’t the type of movie that will make you hide behind your pillow.
Again written by, directed by, and featuring John Krasinski, his wife Emily Blunt is the star of the show. She’s faced with the impossible task of taking care of her two kids and newborn baby (good luck getting a baby to keep quiet) while on the run because their family home is no longer safe. There’s a fascinating flashback to the start of when the aliens first showed up, which I’m sure everyone would have loved to have seen during the first movie. The “how and why” aren’t answered, but seeing the when and where is very interesting. I was pretty excited to see Cillian Murphy (present in the flashback and the sequel), and those who like the mountain-man beard look will probably think he’s just as sexy as ever. Emily Blunt fans will be pleased, and the two kids get lots of opportunities to show off their screaming and crying. The futuristic “quiet” world certainly breeds tough children! The ending is a bit abrupt, leading audiences to think another installment is in the works, so don’t expect everything to be resolved just yet.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to frightening scenes involving children, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
