Disturbing but fascinating

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2018)

This focuses on a family--father Lee (John Krasinski), mother Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and their two kids. It seems Earth has been invaded by aliens. The aliens are blind but react to sound. When they hear sounds they attack and kill. The family hide out in a remote farmhouse...but can never make a sound or the aliens will attack.
It starts off slow but slowly builds up to a final 20-30 minutes that will have you on the edge of your seat. Virtually the entire movie is in dead silence. You have to see this with a dead quiet audience. There is occasionally some background music and even some dialogue but this is sparse. The acting is great by the whole cast (Blunt is superb) and the aliens are incredibly gruesome. It also includes disturbing but not graphic violence. Worth watching but disturbing. Also this deserves an R rating not the PG-13 it got.
