In just a matter of hours, Cillian Murphy’s chilling role in A Quiet Place Part II will no longer be available for streaming on Netflix, leaving fans heartbroken and expressing their frustration on social media. The horror hit, which premiered in 2021, has become a fan favorite, and its departure from the platform on April 12 is stirring up emotions among viewers who are reluctant to say goodbye.
A sequel to the successful 2018 film A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place Part II picks up where the first movie left off. The Abbott family, led by Evelyn (Emily Blunt), continues their fight for survival in a world overrun by alien predators that hunt by sound. The arrival of a new character, Emmett—played by Murphy—adds depth to the already emotional narrative. Emmett, initially withdrawn and fearful, becomes an unlikely ally to the Abbotts as they search for safety in a world that seems increasingly hostile.
After landing on Netflix on October 12, coinciding with the Halloween season, A Quiet Place Part II quickly rose to prominence, securing a spot among the top 10 most-watched films on the platform. Its suspenseful storyline and gripping performances have left an indelible mark on audiences, with many fans turning to social media to express their admiration for the film.
“I cried multiple times,” one fan wrote on X, reflecting on the deep emotional impact of the movie. Another tweeted, “‘A Quiet Place II’ delivers relentless suspense and terror from beginning to end.” The emotional turmoil felt by fans, paired with the thrilling narrative, has created an undeniable connection with the film, and the news of its impending removal from Netflix has only heightened their attachment.
A third fan echoed the sentiment, praising the film’s high stakes and thrilling plot. “A Quiet Place I, II are one of the Best Movies I’ve watched in a Long Time,” they wrote. Many others also noted how A Quiet Place Part II surpassed its predecessor in terms of suspense and emotional depth, with some even declaring it “better than the first movie.”
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has earned a 91% rating, with an impressive 92% score on the “popcornmeter,” a reflection of its audience’s enthusiasm. The critical reception is equally strong, with some praising it for its attention to detail and masterful suspense-building, calling it a “masterclass in tension.”
One user commented, “This movie is so much better than the first in my opinion, it has a great plot, good characters, incredible detail to attention, and an awesome ability to create suspense!” Others have lauded the movie’s relentless intensity, which keeps viewers on the edge of their seats until the credits roll. “Solid 10/10,” said one fan, underscoring just how impactful the experience was.
Fans now eagerly await the third installment, A Quiet Place III, but the looming expiration of the sequel on Netflix has left many feeling disheartened, especially those who had yet to watch it or were hoping to revisit the film.
The film, which also stars Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Djimon Hounsou, and Scoot McNairy, delivers not only spine-tingling terror but also an exploration of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. As fans reflect on the impact of A Quiet Place Part II, it’s clear that its presence on Netflix has been much more than just a movie night pick—it’s been an emotional experience, one that will be sorely missed once it’s gone.
As the countdown continues, fans have one last chance to watch the movie before it disappears from the platform, ensuring that the suspense and emotional turmoil felt throughout the film stay fresh in their minds—at least until the next chapter in the A Quiet Place saga arrives.
