Don't Bring Crunchy Snacks

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2018)

Go see this film. It's as simple as that. It is a masterclass in tension building, suspense, and horror. 1st Time director John Krasicki nocked it out of the park for his directorial debut that will have you holding your breath to the very end of the film.
Every actor in the film is great and deliver phenomenal performances with very few words. Emily Blunt delivers one of her best performances. Without spoiling to much the scene on the stairs is amazing and easily could walk away with an Oscar for that scene alone. Along with that the children in the film are amazing as well and are some of the best child actors I've seen. The monster is horrifying and creepy and reminds me of the Xenomorph from Alien.
Each scare was worth it and wasn't weak like other modern horror films that rely on jump scares. This film uses tension as well as the art of show don't tell to its advantage. It's a great example of show don't tell. Go see this film.
Final Score: 11/10
