The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Nothing happens for a solid 45 minutes then BAM Emily Blunt goes into labor, impales her foot on a thick nail, drops a lamp attracting the monster and has to scramble to survive. WHILE HAVING A BABYjust when u think the situation can't get worse, it doesit's like the movie tryna target Emily Blunt and her newborn specificallyEmily Blunt's character in this movie is braver than any US MarinesI cANT. BELIEVE. Nobody died in this film, except an elderly couple. EVERYONR LIVED. amazing.John Krasinski was pretty cute in this movie, Emily Blunt a total badass. Winning performance from husband-and-wife duo.

It has been said, but the movie isbfull of plot holes and stupidity on the characters parts. I have several questions: Why do they not just live by the waterfall if it allows them to make noise? Seems like it would solve all of their problems.Why does the woman get pregnant when all this is going on? Babies are noisy, let alone popping one out.Why is there a giant nail in the stairs of their house? Couldn't they rig up some sort of sound system around the perimeter of their property to attract the monsters away from them? The guy seems the be mechanically inclined.All of this aside the other issue I have is the whole invincible enemy thing. I feel like the Office guy could blast them with his broomstick if he wanted to. If not he needs to give his boy Dwight a call, I feel like he'd have the minerals to do something, anything to kill these monsters. I was going to give this a 5, but I just talked myself into a 3.

Having just watched this on a home Dolby Atmos system (7.1.4) I have to say it is an experience like no other. The sounds from above, as the characters look up, surprise, delight and terrify. A great deal of thought and care went into this and it is worth seeing. Do remember that it is a film with prolonged periods of silence but if you truly understand this before viewing, you won't be disappointed.

I don't watch "horror" flicks but watched this with some coercion. It's really good. Yes there were some horrific elements but the acting was superb and it's a great science fiction story.
