His ability to direct stunning, action-driven set pieces on par with any other blockbuster has grown, so too has Krasinski’s initial motivation: to make a movie for his family. (Photo by Jonny Cournoyer/©Paramount Pictures) How is John Krasinki’s direction this time? As a series of fight, flight, or bite-your-tongue set pieces, it delivers. They come up with more than enough to justify a second trip into their world.Īs a piece of storytelling, it’s skimpy and vaguely unsatisfying. The focus is broadened with diminishing returns, but A Quiet Place Part II still manages to conjure up enough thrills to make it worthwhile. What this second installment mostly offers more of is the same… echoing without quite amplifying the pleasures of its predecessor. Part II earns the promise of a sequel by doing what the best sequels do, striking out in search of new stories instead of settling for retracing its steps.Ī Quiet Place Part II seems content to reiterate rather than build on its predecessor’s revelations. The fortunate thing is how effective the film is at expanding this world without betraying the qualities that made the first work. (Photo by Jonny Cournoyer/©Paramount Pictures) Does it rehash the original or build upon it? It struggles to recapture the lightning that turned the 2018 original into a hit. In many ways, Part II suffers from some of the same follow-up problems afflicting The Lost World: Jurassic Park. ![]() The thriller is still engrossing in many spots but ultimately doesn’t come together like the first one. Krasinski has not at all let up on the thrills and chills and alien-centric terror, but he’s also bulked up on the drama, emotion, and very human pain at its center. It’s another breathless chamber piece, expertly crafted to pack dread into every nerve-rattling sound.

If you haven't already seen the trailer, you need to now. The critic consensus reads, A Quiet Place artfully plays on elemental fears with a ruthlessly intelligent creature feature that's as original as it is scary - and established John Krasinski as a rising talent. On Rotten Tomatoes, the terrifying film received a 97% out of 100% on the Tomatometer. The movie stars the Hollywood couple, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. If the creatures hear you, then they will hunt you. The modern horror story follows a family of four that live their lives in silence after creatures that hunt by the use of sound invade Earth. If you love horror films, then you know that there's a difference between a scary flick and a horrific masterpiece, and critics are saying that "A Quiet Place" is the latter. ![]() Not only is this movie terrifying AF, it's written and directed extremely well, making it a recipe for disaster - but in a good way.
