What is the one thing everything makes? Sound.
Welcome to ASMR the film, directed by and starring former sales representative Jim Halpert, who in the face of overwhelming odds defeats the men of The Adjustment Bureau to be with the only woman he's ever loved, Emily Blunt. Lucky man.
In 1900 the world's first radio transmission is sent into space. By happenstance a passing transport ship disguised as a meteoroid, and its crew of malevolent cyborg alien bat beasts, of course, pick up the signal and hurdle headlong thru space directly into the source like dumb space-bulls lured in by the color red, except it's sound they can't resistance. Too tasty. Must have it. Of course. Makes perfect sense.
Naturally, during the end of the world, when paired with such a fine woman like EMILY BLUNT you must have as many babies as possible. Yes, the world is ending, so why not, right? No condoms. Making any sound gets you killed. Hmm, oh, I know... let's make BABIES! Because babies are so quiet, amiright?
I particularly like the nice touch with the Lord of the Ring torches, very nice. Very nice indeed. But what were they communicating? Just saying hello? I'd have to watch it again.
TL;DR If you want to watch a heart-pounding thrill ride in the same vein as Jurassic Park, Alien, Pitch Black to name a few, then I suggest taking the time to watch this in one sitting, at night, alone, and without interruption.
