Like many blockbusters this year, it's hit streaming services quickly, streaming now on Paramount Plus (formerly CBS All Access). More than a year later, I finally saw the film in a theater with social distancing and health screening measures in place. Written and directed by John Krasinski, with Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy on screen, the suspenseful thriller is filled with precision-tooled suspense even if it doesn't expand on the 2018 original as much as it could.īack in March 2020, A Quiet Place Part II was only days away from theaters when COVID blew up cinematic schedules.
A Quiet Place Part II is a near-silent sequel but it's got even more to say in the pandemic era.
