A Quiet Place Part II: 'Exhilarating entertainment'

BBC  

A Quiet Place Part II: 'Exhilarating entertainment' Paramount Pictures A Quiet Place Part II matches the tension and stripped-down storytelling of the 2018 hit, opening with "nerve-jangling extended takes of meticulously choreographed mayhem", writes Nicholas Barber. A Quiet Place Part II dispels those worries within seconds. Noah Jupe, who plays the couple's son, Marcus, has obviously aged in the time since he was shooting the previous instalment, but otherwise the title A Quiet Place Part II is fully earnt, because the slick sequel genuinely feels like a continuation of its predecessor. Like Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in the Alien franchise, Regan must grow into a gun-toting take-charge heroine They soon find one, Emmett, a grizzled, bearded widower played by Cillian Murphy, who last experienced a monster apocalypse in 28 Days Later.
