Not a bad movie but one that leaves you confused.

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2019)

The storyline is interesting and the movie is suspenseful but can be just confusing at times. Not necessarily about what's going on but why. The movie has no backstory other than a few newspapers on the wall. No back story for the characters. The parents lose a child in the beginning. They have all learned sign language and how to be as quiet as possible within a few months but not to leave a child farther behind in the woods only for the child to play with a loud toy that draws in the monsters of the movie. The parents wind up getting pregnant within a couple months (they have two other kids at this point who are a little older) which I'm assuming wasn't on purpose but you would think that's not too smart due to noise.
The only things you really know about the monsters is that they can't see but can hear just about anything, even far range. They have thick armor that can't be damaged. Of course there's parts of the movie where you think how did one of them not hear that or how did they hear that? One later on in the movie attacks the dad despite no noise being made. It goes after the kids making noise but then the dad gives himself up by yelling to save the kids but there where plenty of objects nearby to distract it by making noise. The dad was creating some kind of hearing aid that has a frequency that bothers the creatures making them go away. But they pretty much stuck around and the thing didn't seem to work at one part. Then they work again at the end of the movie and when amplified, the armor on their head goes away allowing the mother to shoot it and take it down. The movie ends with a bunch of them heading towards the house. There's supposed to be a sequel but I doubt it'll explain how they got out of that situation considering she had just a shotgun with limited ammo. Just a lot of plotholes. Other people may have figured out their weakness or even a different one but obviously it's not like they can find everyone to tell them.
It's worth watching in my opinion as it's different and maybe the sequel will have much more to it. There's just so many plot holes, not much understanding of what's going on and not a lot happens in the movie. It could've been really good had it developed more of a story and a background. This feels like something that would be better as a series instead of movies.
