Written and directed by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place: Part II begins with a flashback that allows audiences to witness the sound-sensitive extraterrestrials’ arrival on Earth, but then it immediately jumps back to the very second we left the surviving members of the Abbott family. Their home equal parts destroyed, burned, and flooded, Evelyn (Emily Blunt), Regan (Millicent Simmonds), Marcus (Noah Jupe), and the new baby have no choice but to venture beyond the borders of their property and find safe haven elsewhere – their chosen target being a far off camp that has been burning signal fires. At the same time, Regan is confident that the upgraded cochlear implant that her father (Krasinski) built is the key to defeating the violent invaders, and works to figure out a way to best utilize it.
