Though it was largely a silent film, “A Quiet Place” made a massive wave when it first hit theatres back in 2018, shaking up the film industry as a whole thanks to its brilliant sound design, film concept, direction, and gut-wrenching story. When I heard of the film and how it was produced, I had to watch it in theatres, and boy did it exceed expectations. It was a film that didn’t need a sequel, but when “A Quiet Place Part II” was announced, I went and watched that as well.
However, as she is going back to the hospice against her will, she witnesses a meteor shower that brings the species-killing alien predator first hand. But instead of going home or finding a way to escape, Sam presses on through the alien-infested city just to get a slice of nostalgic pizza. During her venture, she meets up with Eric , an equally broken young adult who misses his home in the UK. Together, they venture into the city to fulfil Sam’s dying request.
The film is an explicitly bleak expedition through the newly ruined cityscape. Despite this, it still remains a character-first story that has a lot of raw emotion to it, which may resonate with many audience members. Since it is essentially the end of the world, these two characters try their best to escape, but also tie up loose ends in the event that they don’t make it, which is an interesting take on the apocalypse horror movie genre that I’ve only seen in a few indie films.
However, this change is actually quite detrimental to the film as a whole. Since everything is so noisy, the monster just suddenly appeares, which makes sense, but there is not a single proper buildup of tension in the film, something the previous films were masters at doing – the epic build ups culminated in the monster’s actual appearance, which would leave us sweating in our seats.
Eric is another problematic character, as he just appears halfway through the film. There is no prior scene that introduces him to the story there is not even a passing glimpse of him — he just appeares. From then onwards, he just tails Sam and her cat. It is not a joke when I say he might have been a last-minute addition to the film just so that Sam could have someone to talk to and have her reason for wanting pizza explained.
