Has watching someone scream in a horror movie ever made you cry?!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2018)

In 10+ years, this might be only the 2nd or 3rd review I've written on IMDB, that's how moving I thought this film was. How weird is it to hear that said about a horror movie? But that feeling and emotion come from how the movie answers the basic question: how far will parents go to keep their children safe? And while the answer to that question is obvious, the story showing the lengths these particular parents will go to is enthralling.
Sure, there are plot holes and unanswered questions. But great acting from both the adults (no surprise, we're talking about Krasinski and Blunt, after all) and the children (pleasant surprise) make the movie much more impressive than your standard monster movie fare.
What's the deal with comedic actors (first Jordan Peele, now Krasinski) making great horror movies?! Gimme more of that! Anyway, back to that scream. No joke, one of the characters screams at a critical moment, but not for the obvious reasons in a horror movie. And the poignancy and raw emotion contained in that single scream made a 46 year old man cry. And I keep crying every time I watch that scene.
If you want a fresh take on a horror movie, you MUST see this!
