A Quiet Place Part 2 – Channel 4 – 9pm
Our pick of the movies on TV tonight is John Krasinski’s nerve-wracking horror sequel.
A Quiet Place was a real unexpected horror hit when it released in 2018. It’s follow-up, which airs on Channel 4 tonight, was just as big a hit and nearly twice as scary.
Following on from the events of the first film, A Quiet Place Part 2 follows the Abbott family as they continue to try and survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind, sound-sensitive aliens. The sequel was praised for adding more frights and world-building on top of the first flick and the excellent addition of Cillian Murphy’s character, Emmet.
If you’re looking for a unique viewing experience and a true horror-filled hour and a half, then look no further than this flick.
