A Quiet Place: Part II

THE GIST: After the relative safety of their home has been compromised, Evelyn has no choice but to venture out into the unknown with her two deaf teens and an infant in tow. They will soon discover that the aliens are hardly the only threats lurking into this new world.

After the great success of A Quiet Place, with both audiences and critics, director John Krasinski was given the go ahead to film a sequel, A Quiet Place: Part II, which was supposed to bow last year but was delayed because of the pandemic.

It was certainly worth the wait, given that we got a smartly developed and executed project, even though a couple editorial choices did feel a bit contrived.

Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy are their usual excellent selves, matched in skills by the young Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, two very promising young talents.

THE BOTTOM LINE: If you liked the original, you should enjoy this one as well. Plenty of action and a few good scares ensure a good time for all.
