What did you think of our review for A Quiet Place 2? Let us know in the comments and leave your own rating above. I really enjoyed this sequel and would recommend it to anyone regardless of whether you are a fan of the first Quiet Place movie or not. Overall, I came away from A Quiet Place 2 very happy that it managed to surpass its predecessor in every discernible way. Thankfully, the visual effects in A Quiet Place 2 are stellar and were sparse enough that I was never distracted by them or taken out of the movie at any point. Along with some slick editing techniques, a good use of lighting, a great instrumental score and brilliant sound design the technical aspects of the movie are solid and I can’t fault any of it.Īs someone with a background in 3D animation, sloppy CGI is always a major concern when I see any movie. Polly Morgan’s cinematography was also enjoyable throughout the movie and really added to the intense tone that the film is striving to capture. I would also like to see something different from him as a filmmaker. I am curious to see what he tackles next, as I would imagine he would like to move beyond the horror genre and try something fresh. Krasinski also returns as director for the sequel and does a good job in terms of getting the best possible performance out of the film’s limited cast members. The dialogue that is present in the script is decent and the movie also had a good flow that was able to build tension whilst still keeping things moving along at a good pace. The writing also helps with this and whilst Krasinski’s script is obviously light on dialogue, (since the movie is called A QUIET Place,) it is fairly well-written and contains fewer leaps logic than part 1. Whether this was intentional or not, I do not know, but the difference in tone is evident from very early on in John Krasinski’s sequel. If the first Quiet Place movie strives to capture the suspense and slow burn slasher-inspired horror of Ridley Scott’s Alien, then A Quiet Place 2 nails the faster, more ferocious tone of James Cameron’s Alien’s. A parallel that I can’t help but draw a comparison to is the change in tone between Alien and its more action-based sequel Aliens. However, sometimes I am very glad to be proven wrong and this is one of those times.Ī Quiet Place 2 does what all good sequels should do, in that it builds upon the foundation laid down by the first movie, whilst upping the stakes and increasing the intensity felt by the audience when watching the film. Initially, when I saw A Quiet Place 2 for review, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it anywhere near as much as I did because of how disappointing I found the first movie. Starring: Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy & John Krasinski Produced by: John Krasinski & Michael Bay
