Ignore the Negative Reviews

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2018)

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on here, even though it has an 8/10 overall. I have no issue with someone not liking a film, but when a movie this good is getting hate for dumb reasons, it leads us to keep getting 4-5 superhero movies a year instead of good, original works like this, so I want to address some of the criticisms I'm seeing
They never explained what happened to set up this premise: They don't need to. The movie isn't about the aliens, it's about the family trying to survive. They probably don't even know all the details, and even if they did, do you really want an expositions dialogue scene in a movie that's mostly quiet? How about a forced flashback sequence? Plus, a little bit of mystery goes a long way. Not knowing much about the creatures enhances the suspense.
If they can be killed with guns, why did they not get wiped out a long time ago?: You ever try hit a moving target with a gun? How about one that moves like 100 miles an hour? They say in the movie that they know of three creatures that are in the area. So it's likely many of them DID die already. They just eventually overpowered humans.
How did they have electricity?: Solar panels are clearly visible on their farm in multiple shots.
Why didn't they live by the waterfall?: Construction is noisy
Why did they have a kid?: Are you suggesting they did it on purpose?
Why didn't they abort the baby?: Yeah hang on, let me just figure out how to quietly perform an abortion with the medical degree I definitely have. Also, there is a praying scene, so they appear to be somewhat religious. Maybe they don't like the idea of killing an unborn baby. Anyways, this movie has literally been marked controversial because they use a gun to protect their family. Do you think including a discussion about an abortion would have gone over well?
Guns are bad they shouldn't have shown the family use a gun in the current political climate: You're an idiot
