The the potential sequel A Quiet Place 3.
While the Abbotts' story is central to every A Quiet Place movie, the mystery behind the alien monsters is almost just as important. Before his death in the first movie, Lee did copious amounts of research looking into the monsters' habits and their motivations. A Quiet Place Part II reveals a little more, showing that they suddenly crashed to Earth out of thin air. Should a third film happen, it'll likely focus on Evelyn and her children leading the charge in wiping out the monsters. The fact that the monsters don't kill their prey may end up being an important aspect of that process.
10 Most Exciting Things To Expect From A Quiet Place: Day One
A Quiet Place: Day One is the first prequel in the A Quiet Place franchise, and here's why the film is so exciting and what could be in it.
The Monsters Not Eating Humans Is Linked To Their Weakness
Noise Is A Nuisance To The Monsters
One of the biggest revelations in the Quiet Place franchise is just how hyper-sensitive the creatures are to noise. When the Abbott family accidentally discovers this weakness, audiences learn that the monsters have massive and totally exposed ear canals. Because of that, any noise is like torture to them — the shrill of a hearing aid is nearly debilitating.
Whenever one of those creatures hears a noise, they will stop at nothing to end it. That brings up the startling revelation that they don't really care about killing humans specifically. The monsters just want the origins of the noise to stop. This is evidenced multiple times throughout the movie series, as the creatures always abandon their victims after they kill them.
A Quiet Place's Aliens Use Humans To Create Their Food
The Aliens Are Farmers Harvesting Earth's Surface
A Quiet Place: Day One sheds some light on what the aliens wish to achieve by featuring a terrifying scene. In this scene, the alien creatures break egg-like pouches and feed on a pinkish liquid that comes out of them. Although the movie does not delve into the details of what this liquid is, A Quiet Place: Day One's director, Michael Sarnoski, revealed (via Slash Film) that the aliens are more or less like leafcutter ants, "using the organic material of people to grow what is their food source."
Given how the aliens have shown no signs of illness or slowing down throughout the movie franchise, it seems like the aliens are also immune to all the pathogens humans carry in their blood.
Just like the extraterrestrial beings from Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, the aliens in A Quiet Place use humans to harvest their food source all across Earth. This allows them to create a suitable ecosystem for themselves to survive. Given how the aliens have shown no signs of illness or slowing down throughout the movie franchise, it seems like the aliens are also immune to all the pathogens humans carry in their blood.
How The Monster's Weakness Is Building To The Franchise's End
Will A Quiet Place 3 Find Humanity Fighting Back?
The Quiet Place movie series has been slowly building to a crescendo of the Abbott family killing them all. In the first movie, they learned the survival skills to exist side-by-side with the creatures. Toward A Quiet Place Part II's ending, Evelyn and her children perfected the art of killing small groups of these creatures. A Quiet Place Part III will likely focus on the Abbotts figuring out a way to kill the whole species.
In a strange twist of fate, the creatures' killer instincts will likely lead to their extinction.
Taking them down will involve the family exposing the creatures' weaknesses and using them to their advantage. The monsters' biggest weakness is the fact that noise cripples them to the point that they won't even kill their prey. A Quiet Place Part II has already set up the fact that it will be the key to the Abbotts defeating the creatures. In a strange twist of fate, the creatures' killer instincts will likely lead to their extinction.
