turning them into a kind of language all its own. The soundtrack is focused on sounds - whistling wind, clanging metal, dripping water, etc. One moment, with two simultaneous gasps for fresh air, is almost intoxicating. Then the story jumps ahead to right after A Quiet Place, where images of masks and a Johnson & Johnson first aid kit feel eerily recognizable.Įven if the overall story is somewhat familiar in spots, Krasinski creates beautiful cross-cutting sequences, wherein images rhyme and build upon one another, working in perfect harmony. But the movie, released at the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, is even more powerful given its pre-attack images of a community together, hugging, sharing food, and gathering for a ball game. It's a taut sequence, recalling the early scenes of Hitchcock's The Birds by using commonplace things for suspense.
In A Quiet Place Part II, Krasinski briefly appears as Lee in a prologue/flashback, showing the first day of the monster invasion. It's not perfect, but this admirable horror sequel - impeccably, skillfully directed by John Krasinski - operates with meticulous use of sound and editing. The heroes must not only stay silent to avoid the monsters but also look out for a dangerous new breed of subhumans. Meanwhile, Evelyn realizes she needs medical supplies for Marcus and the baby and heads into town.
She secretly heads off by herself to find out more, and Evelyn pleads with Emmett to follow her. But Regan discovers a song, Bobby Darin's "By the Sea," playing on the radio and realizes that it's a clue - that there might yet be a safe place to go. The building's sole occupant, Emmett ( Cillian Murphy), tells them to go away and that he can't help them. Unfortunately, they walk into a trap, and Marcus' leg is snapped in a bear trap. Regan finds a signal, and they head toward an abandoned industrial building. Evelyn Abbott ( Emily Blunt), her daughter Regan ( Millicent Simmonds), son Marcus ( Noah Jupe), and new baby must leave the ruined family stronghold in search of new lodgings.
A QUIET PLACE PART II starts by flashing back to the first day of the sound-seeking monster attacks before moving to Day 474, not long after the events of A Quiet Place.
