Very good concept, poor execution

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2018)

I am giving this movie a 7, because I liked the idea, liked the concept, liked the acting, but the execution is so bad. The movie starts very well, I do enjoy not knowing what's happening, and discovering it as the movie goes. Unfortunately, there isn't much left to discover. After 15-20 minutes, the movie stagnates and falls into the typical horror movie cliches.
Why is it so bad? Because if you were to be silent, and you prep so much, why on Earth do you decide to live in a very old house with a very squeaky floor. It's been over a year, and the best thing they found was an old carpet to cover the entrance to a basement? Other than that, why on Earth does the Dad get attacked? If they are blind, and only sensitive to sounds, you could just stand still in the field and get away with it.
There is a lot of things that don't add up, and it's bothering. The concept really deserved better attention. Overall I give it a 7 because I did have a good time but it's really far from being the best thriller I have ever seen.
