IN CINEMAS MARCH 2020

John Krasinski's tense and terrifying 2018 nail-biter, A Quiet Place , had critics and audiences alike shouting praise. The eagerly anticipated sequel looks to be even scarier, with flashbacks to the apocalypse and plenty of those blind monsters on the loose. The three surviving members of the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Creeping into theatres on March 19 . A QUIET PLACE PART II

Valiant Comics character Bloodshot comes alive on the screen, played by a nicely cast Vin Diesel. His character, aka Ray Garrison, is a former soldier enhanced by nanotechnology, which gives him powers of regeneration and “meta-morphing”. Moreover, the nefarious company responsible for his condition (headed by Guy Pearce) also control his memories, so Ray doesn’t know what’s real and what’s implanted. Universal Soldier collides with Total Recall on March 12 . BLOODSHOT
