And just as bad as the threat itself is the constant stress about how other people are reacting. Having gotten used to being locked down in their bubble, the family takes its first tentative steps venturing out, when they must creep through the world without touching anything as the most innocuous of objects and the most everyday urges could kill. Survival depends on the smallest, simplest precautions. The cataclysm begins with vague and wildly misinterpreted news reports from China before dramatically arriving closer to home. There's a great shot where the camera swirls in from above a terrified character, a jarring angle that meshes the visuals with the sound to immerse you in the character's disorientation and fear.ДЄlthough conceived well before the pandemic, the Quiet Place movies have taken on a new resonance in the COVID era. In the tensest moments the camera creeps remorselessly, the frame filling with agonizingly slow movement, and at its peak crosscutting between different nerve-racking story strands to ratchet up the tension. Polly Morgan's cinematography marries beautifully with the sound design and music. If anything, this second outing shows these films are more than just gimmicky sound design. What was innovative and unique then is deployed lightly here, although Krasinski isn't above busting out the occasional cheap jump scare just to keep you on your toes. From the chaotic opening, the film deftly switches between noisy carnage and nail-biting silence, although it isn't built around the deaf daughter's noiseless perspective as much as the first film. Like the first film, sound design is key, and expertly done. It's an agonizing combination of grief and determination, evoking the horrible agony of seeing your children in pain.Д¬illian Murphy goes from blinders to deafness.

Emily Blunt is back from the first film, bruised and shaky as a postpartum mum keeping a lid on loss and pain as she fights to put one foot in front of the other.

Packed with tension, the sequel returns to a world in which aliens are good listeners and the slightest noise can kill. It's not on HBO MaxВ but it is available to rent or buy in digital, and on Blu-ray and DVD July 27 - including a combo pack containing both Quiet Place films.

Like many blockbusters this year, it's hit streaming services quickly, streaming now on Paramount Plus (formerly CBS All Access).

More than a year later, I finally saw the film in a theater with social distancing and health screening measures in place. Written and directed by John Krasinski, with Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy on screen, the suspenseful thriller is filled with precision-tooled suspense even if it doesn't expand on the 2018 original as much as it could.Д«ack in March 2020, A Quiet Place Part II was only days away from theaters when COVID blew up cinematic schedules. A Quiet Place Part II is a near-silent sequel but it's got even more to say in the pandemic era.
