When the first movie in A Quiet Place universe was released in 2018, fans were immediately drawn to John Krasinski’s new experiment in the horror genre. With his second film, Krasinski gave more clarity to the ambiguous background of the alien invasion. While the second movie presents the general idea that alien invasion happened all over the Earth, some Redditors seem to disagree.
The opening scenes of A Quiet Place Part II depict a flashback to what happened to the Abbott family’s world. It featured the alien attack in New England, U.S., while several hints are dropped about similar attacks occurring all over the world.
Redditors Find Countries That Are Safe From ‘A Quiet Place‘ Monsters
A Quiet Place established that the monsters were vulnerable to high-frequency audio feedback. In A Quiet Place Part II, monsters that tried to attack Cillian Murphy‘s Emmett were shown to drown in water. Later, it was also established that people were seeking shelter in islands that were presumably safe from the monsters. Redditors have combined this movie knowledge to find the safest countries in A Quiet Place universe.
5. United States
For most of its part, A Quiet Place and its sequel depict the U.S. as a place unsafe, filled with alien monsters. However, it is shown in the second movie that a small colony of survivors were living normally on an island. Reddit fans also suggested that the Hawaii islands might be a safe isolated place and it is also too small for aliens to probably crash land and unleash destruction.
4. Ireland
While the United Kingdom was one of the earlier crash locations of the alien monsters, there is no indication in the movies that they infiltrated Ireland. Redditors suggest that Ireland can become a safe haven for several other European countries provided no monsters board the ships or boats and land on the island. One Redditor suggested that Ireland alone will remain “one of the lone bastions of civilization” in Europe.
3. Indonesia (and Philippines)
The South Asian island nations of Indonesia and Philippines might also be safe from the angels of death. However, another close nation, Singapore, was invaded by the monsters as indicated by the information on Lee Abbott’s (John Krasinski) whiteboard. If safe from the alien invasion, both these countries can provide shelter to the survivors of the attack from other populous countries in Asia. While their radio emitters can make the monsters vulnerable, Redditors also raise concerns about food and water shortages.

2. Japan
Another island nation that remains isolated from any mainland, Japan also has another added advantage according to Reddit. The Asian country is packed with radio and television emitters, which can weaken the monsters. In the first film, Regan, played by Millicent Simmonds, figures out that the monsters are vulnerable to high-frequency signals. Others also provided their input that Japan has the resources to weaponize the signals against the monsters.
1. Australia (and New Zealand)
Australia, with its vast land and resources, is the safest bet among all countries. One Redditor presented the theory that the meteorite crash probably occurred in the Northern Hemisphere. Hence, Australia is outside of the potential strike zone. Australia also has a vast amount of farmland to build safe soundproof bunkers (in case) and the country also has a decent military to counter the alien attack.
Along with Australia, New Zealand would also be a safe place in the continent according to this theory. Both countries can jointly deploy their resources to save humanity from complete doom. Fans can find more theories about the films by streaming them on Paramount+.
