Delivers on all levels!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2018)

It's not often that a horror film delivers. This one did - fabulously! No gimmicks, no over-blown sound effects, no gratuitous jump-scares, special effects were believable, and the "gore" shown was minimal. This film depended on constant slow-building tension which was enhanced by the fact that the verbal dialog was minimal. Physical dialog was portrayed superbly, realistically and believably. This is a family struggling to survive in a world now inhabited by creatures who, although blind, are cued into their prey by their sense of sound. We get no back story on who these creatures are or from where they come, but that doesn't matter. This is a film about survival, and we are thrown into the midst of it right from the get go.
Blunt and Krasinski did their roles justice, and Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott was extremely impressive. I highly recommend this film to all horror film fans. You will not be disappointed!
