Step lightly upon this Earth, for in the shadows lay those waiting for our footsteps to falter and for us to cry out in pain, and they will tear us apart.

If A Quiet Place was one of the surprise, and deserving hits of the last decade, then its sequel was almost a sure gone conclusion; it just demanded the continued involvement of John Krasinski, and in A Quiet Place Part II, the same racked up tension, of delivery without dialogue in some of its more observed and focused scenes, is key and astutely pursued.

If the year has taught television audiences anything it that the court room drama, if handled and written with care and objectivity, can still grip the viewer and have them on the edge of the seat; and if you can get past the search for the face of the suspect and concentrate on the why rather than the who, then the investment will have been worth it.

It is human nature to forget the past, to look to the now and see the hero in which you believe has never been held aloft take their bow as something unique, a one-off and yet it is arrogance which makes us dismiss the distinctive and the indomitable of the past which paved the way for the modern hero to rise.

A Quiet Place. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Noah Jupe, Millicent Simmonds, Leon Russom, Cade Woodward, Doris McCarthy.

We make too much noise, the world is permanently awake through the need to be heard, to have our ideas, our wishes and dreams explored and sung from the highest possible place and to have it echo through other’s ears. We are getting louder, as a species we are dominant in the sound that we create and soon even that quiet place of contemplation we seek, is not going to be a haven of tranquillity, it is going to be a prison in which we realise we have squandered a great gift.
