Finally a film with no misandry

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2018)

Excellent suspense level throughout. Sound ambiance/fx really reinforce the atmosphere. Solid acting, even from the kids. Special fx were also good - the monsters didn't look like cheap CGI (impressive on a $17M budget). Would've liked more background on the monsters but that might've ruined it if poorly executed. Just enough maybe.
It's refreshing to see a non-dysfunctional family. A father figure that is caring yet a resourceful provider and a selfless protector. The couple works as a team, not some sort of feminist rivalry. It's quite beautiful to watch even if terrible things happen to them.
No unnecessary and distracting diversity either.
An impressive first movie by John. Hope he makes more.
