Creatures that hunt by sound is creative, but that's where the creativety ends

Rating: 4/10 (7 April 2018)

Thumbs up for the general story line that involves creatures that hunt based on sound. Unfortunately, that's where the creativity ends. Everything else that happens you have seen in some other movie.
Let me say that from first watching the trailer, I thought this movie was going to be great, but it did not live up to my expectations.
Usually movies with children actors does not turn out to be very good. Here, that is not the issue--they did great.
The other red flag was this was a relatively short movie that was rated PG13. This one was an issue. In the hour and a half, or so, of this movie, the sense I got leaving the theater was that nothing really happened. Think of it this way, if you have a movie with creatures that hunt a family (and the wife is pregnant, as shown in the movie trailer), what would you expect to see in that movie? Write down the first 10 things that come to mind. There! That's the movie. You can try this before you watch it and tell me how many of those 10 things you see in the movie.
I want to see something different, something creative beyond just the general story line.

The movie flaws are pointed out by many other reviews on this site. The only one I disagree with is 'why would they have a baby in this environment.' Because life happens! Condoms break, for example.
Here's some other flaws.
The creature although fast, always seems to be like 100-200 feet from where the sound is made. Yet, we only get a few scenes where the characters run into the creature.
If a shotgun shot (to the head) kills these creatures and the creatures are blind why not just shoot them when you run into them? If these creatures hunt based on sound, why not just move out of the way when sound is made?
Why are these creatures not attracted to sound made by nonhumans? For example, why don't they attack the water fall? Why didn't the military just wipe them out? I mean if a shotgun can kill them what can a blackhawk helicopter do? Or just a soldier?
Additionally, there are many ways they would be able to manipulate sound to district this creature beyond the fireworks (loud speakers & radios in isolated places).
