Shhhhhhhh. No, really, don’t make a sound. Not even when we announce that A Quiet Place has a sequel scheduled already! (Confirmed by Paramount.)
A Quiet Place offers an interesting concept for movie-going – people constantly report that their theaters were dead silent. Through the whole movie. [pullquote]Apparently this is a great cinematic experience and not to be missed. I’d call this film a sleeper hit.[/pullquote]
Right on the heels of the surprise rise of A Quiet Place, Den Of Geek reports A Quiet Place 2 is in the works already. They say the story could continue where it left off, or could be about another family entirely. There are many options to explore in the Quiet-verse.

How do you live, when your life depends on total silence? Could you do it? Even clicking the keys on my laptop makes sound. I have a fan on as I work: Alexa belts out my morning playlist. The coffeepot gurgles, percolating, while the dog barks and whines, begging for bacon that pops and sizzles on the stove. I take all this for granted.
Our spoiler free review of A Quiet Place gives this film an A, and reports the tone is more like a cross between Alien and Signs (both being top notch films). RunPee Creator Dan says, “[pullquote position=”right”]Every scene felt like it was hand crafted, over and over, until it was perfected. There isn’t a wasted second in a single scene.[/pullquote]”. My spoiler-full review awards A Quiet Place a rare A+ ( I was slightly more impressed).
With the care, commitment, and attention to detail by the director, cast, cast and crew, we can hope any sequels or prequels will add to the richness of this dystopia, and not just toss out a trashy cash cow.

I don’t think the creatures are aliens brought by the meteor. I think they were subterranean creatures living in an undiscovered underground cave system in Mexico and were released when the meteor crashed into Mexico.

Hummm, I didn’t get that from the movie at all. Ultimately, I don’t think it matters. They were terrifying monsters and provided great drama in the movie.

There were so many articles posted on their bulletin board…both theories could have been mentioned. I think we’d have to wait for the DVD and pause over these articles to see. Unless we can find screenshots. That said, both theories could even be wrong. I saw some news titles calling the creatures Angels, Dark Angels…maybe no one knows. It seems one of the mysteries of the film.
