With a delayed release because of Covid 'A Quite Place II', the squeal to the 2018 surprise hit 'A Quite Place' is the perfect type of movie to go back to the theater for. This film comes in with a lot of good will, there are jump scares, yet this horror/suspense film is pretty family friendly, you can liken it to it's predecessor or even 'Jurassic Park'. John Krasinski returns to the directors chair, and is even briefly on screen curtesy of the flash back sequence that opens up the film and depicts the arrive of vicious, blind, alien monsters.
Then picking up were the last film left off the main narrative concerns Emily Blunt, the kids, and a new character played by Cillian Murphy. Structurally the film is very interested in parallel sequences, and succeeds at opening up it's world in a satisfying way. Not an astounding movie by any means, nor as innovative as the first one, but consistently engaging. ***
