Simple but amazing film

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2018)

I went into this movie with high hopes. I had been hearing good things about the film and I was excited to see John Krasinski as a director.
As a fan of Krasinski I was interested to see how he would perform in a horror film Krasinski gave an excellent performance as well as Emily Blunt. The children in this film were pretty good in their roles.
Overall I enjoyed the movie, however, at times I found myself hating the daughter. I'm not sure if it's because of the way her character was written or the actress herself but throughout the film I was not a fan of the character.
The plot of the film is quite interesting. You follow a family that has learned to survive this post apocalyptic world and must stay quiet. Obviously this means that the film doesn't contain much dialogue. Krasinski does a great job directing the film so the audience can tell what is going on without the characters needing to say it.
So far this is one of my favorite films of 2018 and I am looking forward to more from Krasinski as a director and a serious actor. I would love to see a prequel to this so the viewers could have a backstory as to what the creatures are and how they came into being. Great film.
