Great concept, Very poor execution

Rating: 6/10 (14 April 2018)

I thought the concept was great, a horror movie that is practically silent, Fantastic. I thought the child actors were phenomenal, i haven't seen this credible and honest child actor performances in a while. Emily Blunt delivered, and as much as i like John Krasinski he was the weakest link acting wise.
Where the movie fell apart was the lack of consistency in the plot, and the lack of credibility in the actions of the characters.
The creature can only hear and not see, that was established early on. BUT when the father gets killed, he did not make a sound, he was just standing there with an axe on his hand when the camera cuts to the creature on the roof. So the creature can see after all? The family use sign language in the beginning of the movie to communicate, as the movie progresses there is Mom and Dad talking in a normal voice after the child is born, and the creature can't hear that? On some scenes the creature hears the smallest things and is in the house within seconds, but when the baby is crying after birth, there was about 10 min. time for the Dad to get to safety. There is zero consistency on the creatures actions, can it see or not?
The parents lose a child early on and they decide it is a good idea to bring another baby to that kind of world where being silent is everything? The Mom uses a an alarm sound at one point at the movie to create diversion. Why didn't they create sound affects around the field to use as diversion when needed? That would have been the most sensible thing to do. They rather used fireworks, which could have harmed them instead. There is a waterfall which blocks sound, then why don't they more there?
I am not even going to go in on the newspaper articles, because that is just utter nonsense. For publications to even exist and print papers after this kind of danger is ridiculous. And the fact that a pre-teen realized the creatures weakness on her own at a very convenient time, just no.
But points on creativity in the terms of the concept and the great casting.
