“Part II” begins with a deliciously cruel reset, going back to day one of all this, when no one knew anything. The first movie ended essentially at its climax, with our heroes, the Abbotts, finally tipping the scales after 400-some days of terror under their noise-slaying captors.
Even if this sequel remains firmly in the shadows of the original, I wanted part three as soon as it was over. In its best moments, “A Quiet Place Part II” reminded me of Steven Spielberg cutting loose with “ The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” letting his beasts rampage through a new environment in a staggering way. He also asserts his talent at orchestrating tense life-or-death scenes with an exciting sense of when to go slow and when to floor it. In writing and directing this sequel, Krasinski proves his intelligence and his non-subversive priorities when it comes to being a genre director.
