#DOES THE BABY DIE IN A QUIET PLACE 2 FULL#

The father, Lee Abbott (John Krasinki), is on his way to his son Marcus’s Little League game, and as he pops a squat on the stand, he is greeted by his wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt), his friend Emmett (Cillian Murphy), and his daughter, Regan (Millicent Simmonds), who is deaf. But before placing us into the Abbott family’s world as we know it, the film opens with a flashback of the day that creatures first came to the town of Millbrook. Much like A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place Part II revolves around the Abbott family’s survival in a world overrun by blind monsters with acute hearing.

And even as someone who can count the number of horror films I’ve seen on one hand, A Quiet Place II was the perfect film to mark the resurrection of my movie-going experience - not only due to the familiarity of the sequel’s premise and characters, but also because the film’s powerful hold on a room full of strangers curates something the pandemic has made difficult to replicate: a sense of community.

With its unpredictable jump scares, terrifically convincing performances, and seamlessly integrated plot lines, A Quiet Place II’s best qualities are meant to shine on the big screen. And while A Quiet Place Part II’s initial release was scheduled for last spring, its Memorial Day weekend debut couldn’t have come at a better time. In 2020, the global box office fell a staggering 72 percent, but now, with the recent uptick of vaccinations and distribution, cinemas across the country are slowly reopening. Last weekend’s theatrical release of the long-awaited sequel to Paramount’s 2018 thriller A Quiet Place comes more than a year after the pandemic forced theaters around the world to shut down. There are no quiet murmurs, no phones going off, not even the innocent rustle of a popcorn bag - just a blanket of anticipatory silence. And as I walked into a theater screening of the film, it felt like the audience was part of the fictional world, too.

In the post-apocalyptic world of John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II, all it takes to trigger a giant, spider-like creature is the faintest of noises - a cough, a sneeze, a leaf crunching underfoot.
