Rolling Stone ‘A Quiet Place: Part II’: The Sound of Silence (and Sequelitis) The follow-up to John Krasinki’s out-of-nowhere horror hit continues the story — and feels like it’s a little too concerned with franchise-building for its own good By Jonny Cournoyer/Paramount Pictures We begin at the beginning: It’s a lovely, late spring day in Smalltown USA. A tall, lanky man — let’s call him Lee Abbott — gets out of his truck and ducks into a small general store on Main Street. He walks through the aisles, past a shelf full of toy space shuttles, and grabs some...

Director John Krasinski, who makes a brief appearance as Lee Abbott in an opening flashback sequence, takes something of a Jaws 2 approach toward the beginning, recognizing that it’s not possible to duplicate the effect of holding off until the end to show us the creatures.

In this post-apocalyptic monster movie, terrifying but blind alien creatures have invaded the planet and use sound to find their prey. Director and star John Krasinski delivered a tense and scary film focused on a family's attempts to stay alive by being as quiet as possible--which is not easy when you need to find supplies, give birth, and avoid large nails jutting out from wooden steps.
