So much potential

Rating: 1/10 (12 April 2018)

So much potential, yet too many holes in this story. Slow, slow, boring start, and tried to get better and looked like the story would take off. WRONG!! First off, wouldn't you carry the shotgun everywhere you go? While traipsing through the dangerous woods, would you have your youngest, most vulnerable child lagging way behind, only to be scooped up by a beast? Forget the noisemaker the little tike turned on, alerting the beasts...what if the kid trips and blurts out a syllable? I'd be carrying my kid. Why string up an array of lights and security cameras? I thought all you had to do was sign all the time. 90 minutes into this saga and a teen has an "aha!" moment and hits upon the exact right decibel level, frequency, hertz or whatever and magically immobilizes the enemy? Hello?... were there scientists anywhere out there trying to figure out a remedy only to be out-thought by a 9th grader? Best cringe and scariest moment was of the 2 inch nail injury...not enough to save this movie. And the ending? Ok, now I see how the security cameras and shotgun come in handy. But, too late...this is 90-something minute movie ONLY and it's simply time for it to abruptly end. I cannot understand how this movie gets rave reviews. Sad, sad ending. Had its moments, but mere moments don't make a good movie.
