18. A Quiet Place Part II

Paramount Pictures

A Quiet Place Part II came so close to release last year that Paramount didn't decide to delay it until after its New York City premiere had already taken place, meaning that thousands of people have actually already seen the movie (and the consensus seems to be it's pretty good).

Though the terrifically crafted original didn't really ask for a sequel, the fact that John Krasinski returned to direct made it easy to be optimistic, all the more so with Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou joining the cast.

While it'll struggle to match the tenacious, intense brilliance of its predecessor, A Quiet Place Part II could be an exciting, mythology-expanding addition to the existing lore.
