The first online reactions to A Quiet Place Part II are universally positive, with critics praising the film’s world-building and tense set pieces. The horror sequel picks up after the events of the first film, which was set in the aftermath of an alien invasion.
“Hey. #AQuietPlacePartII is a really solid sequel,” wrote one person. Another critic called it “A worthy, world-expanding followup that builds on the original and finds its own thrills, chills, and emotions in the process. Audiences should still be banned from eating crunchy snacks during any and all screenings.”
A Quiet Place 2, like the first film, is also directed by John Krasinski and features his wife Emily Blunt in the lead role. The first film was praised for its tension, and went on to become a major box office hit, making nearly $350 million against a $20 million budget.
