Horror fans have a short window to catch a sequel that shaped the modern creature-feature. It stars Cillian Murphy, and Netflix is about to take it off the service. Subscribers who haven’t seen it yet should queue it up soon.
Cillian Murphy’s acclaimed 91% RT horror movie is leaving Netflix in October
Netflix will remove A Quiet Place Part II from its library on October 11. Critics received the film warmly, and it holds a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Cillian Murphy joins Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe and Djimon Hounsou in the cast. John Krasinski wrote and directed, and he continues the story he launched with the 2018 original. He also turns up on screen in a short cameo (via What’s on Netflix).
The plot begins right where the first film ended. The Abbott family has lost the safety of its home, so its members step into unfamiliar territory. Out there, they find that the creatures hunting by sound are only part of the danger. That premise defines the franchise. Because the monsters track noise, every footstep, dropped object, and whispered word carries a risk. Krasinski builds his scares from that restriction instead of relying on volume.
For viewers who know Murphy from his other work, the film offers a different side of the actor: a survivor whose choices matter more than his lines. New viewers can also jump into the series here, though watching the 2018 film first gives the story more weight.
Moreover, availability depends on the location of the user, and licensing deals change often. Viewers can check the “Leaving Soon” section on Netflix in their region to confirm the exact date before planning to watch. Anyone who wants to watch Murphy take on the sound-hunting creatures should press play before October 11. After that, Netflix no longer carries the film.
