“I have to get back to my family.”

From A Quiet Place Part II.

While son Marcus (Noah Jupe) plays his baseball game, Lee (John Krasinski) and Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt) watch with their other kids, Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and Beau (Dean Woodward), until something crashes to the earth from space and noise-seeking aliens attack the town, destroying anyone or anything that makes a sound. The family flees home and over a year later, after a terrible night, Evelyn is left alone with Regan, Marcus, and a newborn baby. The only good to come from the night is that the family learns that the frequency from Regan’s non-functioning cochlear implant hearing aid disorients the aliens so they open their head armor plates, making them killable. With their home destroyed, Evelyn leads her children in search of the people behind a nearby signal fire. Marcus is injured on the way and his screams summon several aliens, and they’re rescued by Emmett (Cillian Murphy), an old family friend. Emmett lets them stay overnight, but when Regan learns that there is a radio station broadcasting a song repeatedly, she sneaks away in the middle of the night with the goal of broadcasting the hearing aid’s frequency over the radio creating a more powerful force against the aliens. When she realizes Regan is gone, Evelyn begs Emmett to bring her back, but when he hears Regan’s plan, he agrees to help her reach the station. Meanwhile, Evelyn leaves the baby with Marcus so she can find for medical supplies and an oxygen tank for the baby’s soundproof box. Emmett and Regan face people (including Djimon Hounsou and Scoot McNairy) both good and evil, but Emmett and the Abbott family’s greatest threat is from the sound-killing aliens that are zeroing in on their every sound.

The sequel to the 2018 box office hit, this thriller is an adrenaline-filled adventure from start to finish. While the opening scenes offer a glimpse into the start of the alien invasion, the remainder of the film is devoted to what happened to the Abbott family after the end of A Quiet Place. The special effects are impressive, the aliens’ scariness is rivaled only by the noise injected into the near-silent story, but the cast is the film’s greatest achievement. A Quiet Place Part II is the long-awaited sequel that takes all the best elements of the first film and amplifies them for a must-watch thriller.
