“A Quiet Place Part II” (**1/2 out of four) was a decent sequel to the surprise 2018 blockbuster about the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) who are forced to venture into the outside world and into the unknown but continue to be terrorized by the same creatures that hunt by sound. A definite improvement (at least to me) of the original- at least there is some actual dialogue and action- but it still never fully shifts into high-gear and gets repetitive in its second half. Deserves points for being another horror film shot in upstate NY and Marco Beltrami’s music score and Polly Morgan’s atmospheric cinematography are definite plusses.
