1. A Quiet Place Part II
This sequel to John Krasinski’s 2018 horror hit, which was set for release last March before the pandemic shut down theaters, sees the light of day more than a year later. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe reprise their roles as a family trying to survive in a world overrun by monsters with an acute sense of sound, with Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou joining the cast. The first “A Quiet Place” was a surprise smash both commercially and critically, and while it remains to be seen if the sequel can achieve similar box office success, it has already earned strong reviews so far.

‘Spiral’ (May 14)
The latest entry in the “Saw” horror movie franchise, “Spiral” stars Chris Rock as a police detective investigating murders reminiscent of killer mastermind Jigsaw, with Samuel L. Jackson playing Rock’s father. The “Saw” series has been stagnant for a while now and was arguably never all that great to begin with, but Rock and Jackson’s participation in this latest film is intriguing, particularly with Rock reportedly being a fan of the series who was heavily involved in the creative development process.
