Eerie and beautiful at the same time.

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2018)

The splendid acting, visuals, and characters all benefit and add to this great plot and concept.
The stellar visuals, like a shot of blood running down the bathtub, compliment the eerie sound effects and the inhuman monsters. Shots can either be horrific and terrifying or beautiful and full of color. A shot that I especially like was the when the Christmas lights switched to red. I realized that a lot of the scenes where the tension is high, red is used, which I find very clever.
The plot is very thought through, as well. The audience, however, did not think through their complaints. A lot of the stuff that they whine about is just plain out idiotic. For example, most of them think a very large plot hole is that they have power somehow. But if they watched an interview or two they would figure out that they have generators underground to keep from making noise. John Kranisiki just didn't want to waste time showing that, he wanted the movie to be about the characters and not just a big information dump. I've heard people call this movie dumb, but quite honestly you're the dumb one if you can't realize that it would make a lot of noise carrying supplies over to the waterfall to make a comeplety new house. I have also heard people criticizing it because it's "boring" but it is definitely not!
All in all, you should watch the movie and ignore the people that despise it so much (unless you don't like the movie, then it's perfectly fine for you to listen to them.)
