New information is given a slow drip, and the radius of the world is expanded, but Krasinski is cautiously pushing forward, allowing each defeat and win their space to shape the characters onscreen.Īlthough Evelyn and her children, Reagan and Marcus (Noah Jupe), are slightly better prepared for their close encounters, they aren’t suddenly different people in this installment. In fact, what makes A Quiet Place Part II just as good, if not slightly better than its predecessor, is that it doesn’t fall into the trap too many sequels do by going too big too fast and forgetting about its characters. She’s a parent first, and alien slayer second, and that distinction is important and humanizing. Rather, she’s an incredibly strong mother who makes the survival of her family her priority. Though that first film ended with Evelyn racking a shotgun with more of the mysterious alien creatures on the horizon, A Quiet Place Part II doesn’t push her character into Ellen Ripley in Aliens (1986) territory.
Lee’s wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt) is equally important in what is a true partnership before she takes center stage in the last act.
THE QUIET PLACE 2 MOVIE
Krasinski managed to both reflect on the archetypical movie father of the 1970s and ’80s, which makes up a significant amount of A Quiet Place‘s DNA, and dispel a number of those tropes in order to present a modern treatise on parenthood. Upon seeing that film, it became apparent that A Quiet Place, and the character Lee Abbott, were Krasinski’s means of confronting his own anxieties about parenthood, being a good provider, and how vulnerable your children should see you be, something further confirmed during that first film’s press tour. In A Quiet Place(2018), director-screenwriter-actor John Krasinski announced himself as a surprising and necessary new voice in horror.
