This article contains spoilers for A Quiet Place Part II. At the end of A Quiet Place Part II, things are flipped from how the first movie resolved its terror. A Quiet Place was all about parents protecting their children, even—in the case of alpha male dad John Krasinski—at the cost of their own life. In the sequel, however, we close on the sight of the two oldest children of the Abbott family—deaf and resourceful Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and her dopey younger brother Marcus (Noah Jupe)—finding their courage to step up to protect their mom (Emily Blunt), their new baby…

It appears reports of movie theaters’ demise were greatly exaggerated. Thank the boffo gods. After more than a year of bad headlines and even worse forecasts for cinema exhibitors, Memorial Day weekend has been a defiant roar for movie theaters across the United States, led chiefly by the stunning success of A Quiet Place Part II and the more complicated (probable) success of Cruella. Both films were prized assets for their studios—Paramount Pictures and Disney, respectively—and both were delayed from their original 2020 start dates. Indeed, A Quiet Place Part II was the first major studio tentpole displaced in March…

Once upon a time, John Krasinski was not a huge fan of horror. He made that clear when the first A Quiet Place came out, saying that only while writing and directing the soon-to-be horror touchstone that he developed a passion for the genre. Now he obsesses over watching everything in it, with certain classics drawing him back time and again. And for A Quiet Place Part II, he had a killer shark of an inspiration. “This movie I really want to feel like a throwback,” Krasinski says about A Quiet Place Part II. “So it was definitely all the…

Contains major spoilers for A Quiet Place Part II. John Krasinski’s follow up to his breakout horror hit A Quiet Place was due to hit cinemas in March last year, before COVID hit and took out the cinemas with it. But now A Quiet Place Part II has finally arrived on the big screen and it’s a noisier, more action-packed offering than the last. Picking up the morning after the first film ended, Evelyn (Emily Blunt), Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and Marcus (Noah Jupe), with the new born baby who they keep in a box, have to abandon their destroyed farmstead…

There is a scene early on in A Quiet Place Part II where audiences are first introduced to Cillian Murphy’s gruff and despairing Emmett. Once, long ago, Emmett was a neighbor and passing friend to the Abbotts, our central family of heroes in both films. Yet when he now runs into Emily Blunt’s Evelyn Abbott and her two children, Regan and Marcus (Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe), the months of hell he’s endured in the face of apocalypse have taken their toll. They’ve taken everything. “The people that are left are not the kind of people worth saving,” Emmett glumly…

Does anyone else think the first A Quiet Place was overrated? Upon its release in 2018, the John Krasinski and Emily Blunt-led movie was greeted warmly by critics and audiences, but when you stripped aside the fact that Jim Halpert from The Office directed it (and starred too as an extremely competent alpha survivalist dad, doing his damnedest to erase poor, mild Jim from our memory), it was a pretty conventional B-horror movie. Based around a single gimmick—blind aliens who hunt their human prey by sound, thus making staying quiet essential—the film was full of contrivances designed to get its…

Emily Blunt was in a different place three years ago. That, of course, applies to most people. But back then, in the lush jungles of Hawaii and filming opposite Dwayne Johnson, she was a million miles from the hushed hell endured by the Abbott family in A Quiet Place, which was just becoming the surprise horror hit of 2018. She had no intention of going back. The sentiment is understandable. In fact, it was initially shared by her husband, writer-director-actor John Krasinski, who, like his wife, was skeptical about the prospect of making a follow-up, even in our modern era…

We’ve already written more generally about how director and writer Chloé Zhao used documentary techniques to blur real life and fiction in her neo-western drama Nomadland, which is now available to stream on Hulu. One of the chief filmmaking choices Zhao made was to utilize non-actors to play fictionalized versions of themselves. Characters like Linda May and Swankie are played by real-life nomads who live in their vans. Bob Wells, a vlogger and author who writes about life lived in his refurbished van, is the most famous of the actual nomads to appear in Nomadland. Wells is an older American…

This article is presented by be quiet! Does your PC sound like a jet engine taking off when you put it under even mild strain?

These are dark times for movie theaters. Once upon a time, A Quiet Place Part II, the much anticipated sequel to John Krasinski’s first breakout horror movie, was supposed to be among the big hits of spring 2020. But the movie then became one of the first to move at the last minute, a week ahead of its March 20 release. Since then the film was encouragingly placed on a Sept. 4 release date, but that too is now scuttled, and Paramount Pictures is opting to delay A Quiet Place Part II until April 23, 2020. The move comes attached…

In what many in the film industry—or just self-quarantine—will take as a hopeful sign, Paramount Pictures has moved from being one of the first studios to delay a spring release in the face of the coronavirus crisis to now putting that same movie back on the calendar at the end of summer. Indeed, A Quiet Place Part II, which was supposed to come out last month, now has a release date of Sept. 4, 2020. The news, which came as Paramount further rearranged its 2020 release schedule by moving Top Gun: Maverick from June to December, is the latest sign…

A Quiet Place was a massive success story at the box office in 2018. The movie was directed by John Krasinski, who also co-wrote it with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck. So it is with great fanfare that Krasinski returned as both the writer and director for the sequel, aptly titled A Quiet Place Part II. A lot of elements in A Quiet Place remain unexplored, like the origin of the creatures, how much of the rest of the Earth is affected by them, and how even our central family managed to escape to a farm. All of which could, and even appears…
