Djimon Hounsou – Island Man After a prolonged delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, A Quiet Place Part II has finally arrived as theaters slowly begin to reopen. John Krasinski is best known for his role as Jim Halpert on TV’s The Office. His creation of such a solid horror outing in only his second film was rather shocking and unexpected. However, with A Quiet Place Part II, Krasinski has created a film with incredible suspense and an intense atmosphere that surpasses the original. A Quiet Place Part II begins in an ingenious manner. It allows the audience to see the Abbott family living an idyllic, happy small-town life before the arrival of the film’s trademark monsters. Lee Abbott (Krasinski) is getting snacks for his family at a little league game for his son Marcus (Jupe). This scene is fantastic as it offers a look at what happened on the very first day when the monsters appeared and quickly reigned down chaos on civilization. There are only mere hints and suggestions of the creatures’ origins and how they arrived, but their origins are still largely kept as a mystery. At the end of the day, that’s a good thing because it makes the creatures that much more enigmatic and malevolent. They are nightmarish entities that have been hatched by the deepest fears of the human subconscious. It’s better they stay that way for now.
