good concept, horrible execution

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2018)

I only really have one problem with this movie and all my other issues with it stem from here.
The problem is that the movie wants you to believe those creatures can hear everywhere, everything, all the time. But sadly there is no way you can spin a movie around that and not screw it up. The family has to keep quiet, all the time. But they are not.
The crew knows that so it chooses to selectively make sure the creatures don't hear some noises, while hearing others from 10 miles away. It's like you are shooting your own movie in the script by trying to pull the ultimate 0 sound experience. I feel it would have been so much better if the noise attraction was more realistic.
And because your main element, sound, cannot work the way you wanted it to, the movie is one big illogical mess.
