What the 1st film managed to do with it's budget was stunning. It holds its spot as my 3rd Favorite Films of all time and it moves me emotionally every time I watch it. I've always been obsessed with creatures and Aliens, and the creature design in both films is amazing. Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe all NAILED their roles to perfection--I love A Quiet Place, and it has a special place in my heart. It sparked my curiosity, It opened up a new world for me, enticing me to make short films about this story with my friends.
Part II taked everything I loved about the first movie and amps it up to 100%. I still think the 1st movie did a better job at keeping you on the edge of your seat when it came to simple scares and a perfect score, but the addition of Cillian Murphy and the entire plot are more entertaining, bringing me into this universe even more. The scope is larger and the character development is THERE. Both of these may be tied for 2nd place for my Favorite Films of all Time. I love them, I love the crew, I love the cast--I love A Quiet Place.
