FLAWED beyond belief

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2018)

Listened to the hype & was looking forward to this. In the end we hated the film but enjoyed picking it to pieces! So flawed it was untrue. Monsters that appear to have only one useful sense in which they hunt. Hypersensitive hearing that can hear a sneeze from a thousand yards but can't hear you breath from 2 feet away. Shh! No whispering kids...Have a jog on a sandy path though, no worries. How long did it take to pour that sand? There's miles of it. Shout & scream by a waterfall...cool. Shall we live there? Nah let's live on a massive ranch. What's the best way to keep the noise down? Let's have a kid...What a mute one? Obviously!! The noise rule is so inconsistent throughout which ruined it. In addition its not scary. The monsters unoriginal. Any attempts at emotional impact are weak, basic, cliche. & the nail in the foot scene has nothing on the Home Alone one. I could go on for ever. Terrible. 4 stars is very generous
