Actor/director John Krasinski borrows from James Cameron's oeuvre of crisis cinema to build on the dreadful foundation he laid in the superb A Quiet Place (2018). Part Two begins where One ended, forcing audiences to overlook some obvious growth in the children, who are the stars of this chapter. Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe as sister Regan, who is deaf, and brother Marcus, who is traumatized, do heavy lifting in their parallel subplots. She strikes out to investigate a broadcasted message that may be a signal to safety as he recovers from a disastrous injury and tends to his infant brother while mother Evelyn (Emily Blunt) is away gathering supplies. The compounded calamities as the Abbots try to avoid the voracious aliens hunting humankind by sound for sport recall Cameron's deftness in building suspense as troubles come cascading down around the players. The final standoff between the Abbott sibs and the toothy invaders is a true nail-biter.
