I can honestly say that I will remember many of the incredibly loud and offensive jumpscares until the day I die. I was not bored during the movie, and it provided wonderful argument fodder for after the show. Magic or not, A Quiet Place Part 2 is a stellar monster movie thriller with a ton of action and a tight run time of 97 minutes. This second installment does an admirable job of trying to follow in very quiet footsteps of the first, but like so many sophomore attempts, doesn’t catch the magic that the first had. Director, writer, star, and Pam-Pam enthusiast John Krasinski nailed it with the original movie in every way that counts.

The first Quiet Place is a hard act to follow just about any way you cut it.

A Quiet Place Part 2 picks the story up from exactly where we left off on A Quiet Place (2018) and progresses the story of the Abbott family who have just lost their father, Lee ( John Krasinski).
