A Quiet Place Part II

Movie Review #56:  A QUIET PLACE PART II

Sequel to 2018's A Quiet Place (surprised?) and picks up where the first one left off, but not before a flashback on how our lovely planet became infested with these vicious and lightening-fast killing machines with no eyes.

Again, lotsa silence sequences to heighten the intensity, and the family Abbott, now reduced to four, have found refuge with one Cillian Murphy, whom I almost didn’t recognise. Eldest daughter has come up with a cunning plan to defeat the nasties, but can she deploy it? Mr Murphy helps and all the while momma, son and bub hold down the fort with a few battles of their own.

The original movie was an adequate sci-fi affair combining many elements of previous monsters from outer-space outings, and if remember right, I gave it a 7/10. This one fares marginally better but only for the Cillian factor, with a standard storyline, great CGI, OK script (when words are permitted), and adequate performances from the rest of the crew. Overall: 

7.5/10
