A Quiet Place Part II\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>(2020)<\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 John Krasinski<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writers: John Krasinski<\/strong> (screenplay) based on characters by Bryan Woods<\/strong> & Scott Beck<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring:\u00a0 Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Cillian Murphy, John Krasinski, Noah Jupe <\/strong>and Djimon Hounsou.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tagline:\u00a0 Silence is Not Enough<\/em><\/p>\n

The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n

A Quiet Place Part II<\/em> begins on day one of the alien invasion.\u00a0 The aliens are massive creatures with armor-like scales.\u00a0 Although blind, they are exceedingly fast and strong.\u00a0 They use their sensitive hearing to locate and kill.\u00a0 The scenes of the aliens arriving and attacking are worth the price of admission.\u00a0 The story then picks up where the original film ended.<\/p>\n

The Abbotts have been surviving on the family farm since the alien invasion began over a year ago.\u00a0 Lee Abbott (Krasinski) has been killed by aliens. Lee’s wife, Evelyn (Blunt) is left with her three children, Regan & Marcus as well as a baby. Her oldest, Regan (Simmonds) is deaf.\u00a0 They accidentally learned that amplified feedback from Regan’s hearing aide disorients the aliens.\u00a0 While disoriented, the aliens are vulnerable to be destroyed.<\/p>\n

With limited supplies, Evelyn and her children leave the farm in hopes of finding other survivors.\u00a0 Evelyn wants a safe place for her and her children.\u00a0 Regan wants more.\u00a0 Regan believes that if she can get to a radio station, she can broadcast how to weaponize sound against the aliens.\u00a0 Evelyn and Regan both understand the dangers the aliens present… but neither has taken into account that humans can be as dangerous.<\/p>\n

A Quiet Place Part II<\/em> is an excellent follow-up to the original.\u00a0 I was really happy that in Part II<\/em>, they take us back to day one of the invasion.\u00a0 There are terrifying scenes of the aliens attacking.\u00a0 One scene in particular involves Evelyn escaping an attacking alien and coming head-on with an out of control bus — and then things get worse!<\/p>\n

I’m an Emily Blunt fan.\u00a0 John Krasinski continues to impress both in front and behind the camera.\u00a0 I didn’t recognize Cillian Murphy at first, but he is a great addition to the cast.\u00a0 Djimon Hounsou comes in late to the story, but plays a role with heart and does it well.\u00a0 Millicent Simmonds gets a bigger part this time out, but she is more than up to the task.<\/p>\n

A Quiet Place Part II<\/em> is a worthy\u00a0 follow-up to the original.\u00a0 It rates 4 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n
