This is the only review you will need to read!

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2018)

If you find the time to read my review I think you will have a happier evening.
This is the most unrealistic movie I have ever seen! It had so much promise, BUT THE DELIVERY IS AN EPIC FAIL.
I know a sentence like that from a stranger doesn't give you enough and won't convince you so let me go further. I have been using this website for a lot of years and I've never ever had the intention to write a review myself and I opened an account just for this reason. Still not convinced? No problem, let me go into details.
I have to start of by saying that I am a HARDCORE horror/thriller fan I have been watching scary movies since I was 4 and never stopped till now! It's my go to genre every night if the mood is movie and popcorn, and I am devastated to see a movie of this calibar seen with such high regard.
In my opinion this movie is an EPIC FAIL because it makes absolutley no sense, it's very superficial with numerous plot holes.
HERE'S WHY:
1) The first death. The sister (around 12 years of age) makes a bad intentional choice completely spontaneously with no regards to the consequences and the probabilities of what the 4 year old little brother can do, and right after she saved him from a certain death and witnessed his complete lack of comprehension for the situation they are in. The rule is simple don't make noise, it's the core fact in their upbringing tactics essential for the survival of the kids, and this taboo should not have been broken in no case, especially by the later shown intelligent sister who's character is completely controversial based on the start and the end.
2) the rules of the intensity of sound that creatures can notice changes conveniently to manipulate the attention of the viewer with basic suspense and intensity techniques. The blind (at first glance indestructible) creatures have super hearing and can hear the smallest sounds from long distances and identify the location very accurately, they appear out of no where in the most trivial moments but when at close distance 4-5 meters from their prey they are unable to notice the sound of the movements or breathing, even when their target is in complete distress resonating pain and fear. They can hear even through walls apparently but when the family covers the basement entrance with a simple mattress while caring a new born crying baby somehow the creatures are unable to identify the location which they have previously easily discovered for the smalles breaking sound. The sound-proofness of the mattress is completely illogical and has no sense at all, bothered me so much that I can't even put into words.
3) The choice to make another kid in a post apocalyptic world where the smallest sound, excluding the sound of the rivers, trees, grass and the sound of the footsteps (they walk slowly most of the times but in a lot of scenes they run leaving very noticeable sounds of footsteps which are left completely ignored). Upon seeing that they made the terribile choice of having the burden of bringing another child in a world where they have very little knowledge about the new extremely deadly threat and very slim probabilities of surviVal, I thought ok so they must have a bunker with a metal door like in the movie 21 Cloverfield Lane or a studio like sound proof room for the baby, and no there is no such thing they just put the baby in the box and use sleeping gas on it, that's basically the only plan, award to most thoughtful and prepared parents goes to... drums those schmucks.
4) The woman has a incredibile ordeal in the house in the one moment where she is completely alone, her water broke, she's about to deliver alone some weeks before the due date, they have no ways to communicated from a distance, and she goes into the basement to deliver steps on a nail in the stairs, takes all the pain in doesn't scream but breaks a some glass object, which was not even that loud and the creature appears a few seconds later. They play a bit of hide and seek from a close range the creature is incapable to notice her painful groans and stomping around it. She manages to climd upstairs 2 floors and deliver the baby completely alone in 5 minutes after the creatures left. And guess what the baby doesn't cry up until a few moments later when the husband manages to find his wife, and after that the whole mattress scene happens.
5)The father has a good understanding of how electronics work has cameras everywhere, a full basement of radios and tools, but is unable to devise a security protocol plan to lead the creatures away from their estate (maybe by putting multiple speakers around and setting them of remotely in case of emergency instead of just turning on the red lights.
6)The creatures have the strength to break the walls of a silo in a second but when dealing with a old run down truck one of them is unable to penetrate it and thus the father sacrifices himself, and the kids pull the leaver of the car and go with the car through the crops until the house as if it didn't make any sound at all.
5)It takes them 473 days just to realize that high frequencies are the strongest weakness of the creatures, and in the culmination we realize that the creature who were previously shown like indestructible can be handled with a shotgun and just one bullet to the head, leaving you to think what the f, couldn't they have been handled immediately by the military!? Apperently no.
So you tell me with all these plot holes how can this movie receive such a high rating?
If people can seriously fall for such stupid techniques of jump scares and situations obviously rigged just for suspence I have to question their intelligence.
I am certain now that IMDB ratings are developed in a very unethical manner, with hundreds, thousands of fake reviews by the people who participated in making or simply a rating can be BOUGHT WITH MONEY and updated depending on the duration of the subscription, because if you are a person who would rate this with a number above 3 obviously you are a completely illogical individual and have no real idea or understanding of how the real world works.
