Paramount Plus adds 'one of the most thrilling and bone-chilling films' fans have ever seen
Many suggest that it is one of the best horror sequels ever made Paramount Plus has just added a sequel to its horror collection that's being hailed as a 'masterclass' and even 'better than the first' film. A Quiet Place Part II has recently been incorporated into the streaming platform's catalogue. This means that all the titles in the sci-fi horror series released so far are now conveniently available on one service. This includes the original film, its sequel, and the prequel spin-off titled Day One. While the 2021 release was previously accessible on other platforms such as Sky Cinema and even Channel 4 for a limited period, it is now exclusively hosted on Paramount. Fans can stream it by subscribing to the dedicated app of the streaming service or through an add-on subscription via Amazon Prime Video. The film is the second chapter of the series featuring John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Krasinski also reprised his role behind the camera, directing the sequel after having directed the original. Known for his portrayal of Jim Halpert in the US Office, he also wrote the script himself, having previously shared writing credits with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, reports Surrey Live. While the film employs flashbacks, the narrative continues from where the first left off in a post-apocalyptic world. Regan (Blunt) and her family discover that their alien predators can be defeated using high-frequency audio. Armed with this newfound knowledge, they embark on a quest to find other survivors. Joining the cast are big names like Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou. The film managed to secure a similarly impressive rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes as its predecessor, scoring 91%. The film garnered acclaim from both critics and audiences, with one reviewer hailing it as "one of the best sequels ever created." Another critic praised John Krasinski's direction, saying: "John Krasinski crafts a masterclass in suspense with Hitchcockian anxiety that would make the master proud." Echoing the sentiment, a fan took to social media to proclaim: "A masterclass in suspense. A Quiet Place II is hands down one of the most thrilling and bone-chilling films that I have ever seen. From start to finish, this movie had me on the edge of my seat, unable to look away even for a second. I would easily give it a terrifying 10 out of 10!". Another enthusiast compared the sequel favourably to a classic, commenting: "In my opinion this is one of the best movie sequels ever made. The second instalment of this series I think is comparable to the movie Aliens by James Cameron. It introduces a lot more action and thrills while remaining faithful to the original and expanding the world. The cast, the story, the directing, the cinematography, the visual effects and the sound design are all incredible. This is also one of the most intense and terrifying movies I've ever seen." The consensus among many was that the sequel surpassed its predecessor. A viewer remarked: "A great sequel to a previous masterpiece of horror. I really never thought that they could top the first one but a Quiet Place 2 is fantastic film!". Echoing the sentiments, a fan concurred: "One of the greatest sequels to an incredible horror/thriller collection. The entire time you're on the edge of your seat with your heart beating as fast as those on screen. There's no way you can watch this movie without being completely invested." A Quiet Place Part II is streaming on Paramount+.

Millions of Sky and Virgin customers warned of four TV changes coming to screens ahead of major channel closure
SKY and Virgin customers should expect a number of changes coming to the TV guide this week - right before a major channel closure happening next month. The line-up is routinely overhauled to make way for closures, new arrivals, as well as rebrands. 1 Sky Q boxes in particular have already received some big switches this week. On Tuesday, more than 30 radio stations were shifted around on the TV guide for the first time in years. Later this week, there are yet more changes on the way for some Sky and Virgin viewers, depending on your subscription. And early next month there's a channel closure that will impact all platforms. This week's changes take place on Friday and affect Sky Cinema. Sky Cinema regularly changes up the channel names to reflect special themes and events. From Friday, there are four to watch out for. Sky Cinema Hits, Sky Cinema Action, Sky Cinema Drama and Sky Cinema 80s will all disappear temporarily. They'll be replaced by Sky Cinema Blockbusters, Sky Cinema Karate Kid, Sky Cinema Pride and Sky Cinema Romance respectively. For those who need a reminder of the channel numbers, they are as follows: Sky Cinema Blockbusters - Sky 303 / Virgin 403 Sky Cinema Karate Kid - Sky 307 / Virgin 407 Sky Cinema Pride - Sky 310 / Virgin 410 Sky Cinema Romance - Sky 302 / Virgin 402 The 1% Club players stumped on tricky maths question as 13 players pass - but could you have got it right- Channel closure Early in June a channel will sadly close after more than 10 years on air. Fortunately, a replacement has been lined up already. Reality TV destination ITVBe is disappearing from every platform, including Sky and Virgin, as well as Freeview, Freesat and Freely too. The biggest ITVBe shows, like TOWIE, will move to ITV2. Meanwhile, ITV is filling the vacant slot with a new channel called ITV Quiz. ITV shows a number of popular game shows such as The Chase, Tipping Point, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, The 1% Club and Deal or No Deal - though it's not clear which will appear on ITV Quiz. ITV has confirmed to The Sun that ITVBe will close and be replaced by ITV Quiz on June 9. More channel closures 'inevitable' An industry expert told The Sun that more channel closures are likely in 2025 and beyond. "This is inevitable, more broadcasters will cull broadcast/linear TV channels as viewers are flocking to streaming services," Paolo Pescatore from PP Foresight said. "The big TV switch off is around the corner, with all programming set to be delivered via the internet. "Viewers are now spoilt for choice with how and where they watch the TV shows they love across a range of connected devices. "To respond, broadcasters need to be prepared and work more closely with telecom providers to ensure a seamless experience for users." Image credit: Getty
