Dunno what the fuss is about

Rating: 3/10 (7 April 2018)

A Quiet Place starts with promise. I'm sorry but I don't know why the critics are raving about it. They claim it to be an intelligent movie.
For a family that have taken extreme precautions in ensuring survival they sure do some stupid things.
LIKE GETTING PREGNANT.
Emily Blunt's character being pregnant is certainly just a plot device (an extremely stupid one), as is the daughter being deaf. Why on Earth when you are being hunted by something with extreme hearing efficiency and speed, would you go and get yourself knocked up?
Also, knowing the how the monsters hunt, why wouldn't you be living somewhere safer, not an old house out in the corn fields (I didn't see them eat corn once by the way, but hiding in corn fields is just another horror movie cliche). Why not live in an underground bunker, with a bit more protection than say, having a dirty old mattress as your vault door.
Knowing that the creatures are sensitive to sound, how is it possible that none of the scientists or governments on the planet have figured out a way to defeat them. But only becomes apparent when a precocious little deaf girl accidentally stumbles onto the idea because of a dodgy hearing aid (after the human race has already been wiped out).
Wouldn't it be obvious that louder sounds would distract them? Why wouldnt you have speakers set up in random places blasting AC/DC every now and then, instead of getting your small child to risk his life by setting off fireworks?
Why would you leave the tap running and flood the basement?!!!!!
Why take all these safety measures and be so stupidly careless about the glaringly obvious stuff?
Also in the year 2020, why so many newspapers?
I'm sorry, couldn't enjoy the movie. I shouldnt have read the reviews first and expected something different than your usual standard slasher movie.
Also because of the silence in the movie, all you can hear is the other patrons eating their chips and popcorn.
Emily Blunt I forgive you this time, but don't sign up for a movie just cos your husband is involved. You are so much better than this.
