So quiet, that I fell asleep.............

Rating: 3/10 (15 April 2018)

Well I hate to say it, but I am one of the very few who found this film to be a waste of time. I had read so many 5 star reviews, I felt that I just had to see it for myself, but from almost the very beginning, I was bored, and had I been watching it on television, I would have switched channels after 10 minutes for sure. The cinema where I saw it, said that I should get there early to make sure I got a seat. So I was expecting something very special, along the lines of, Alien, The Exorcist or The Omen (Part 1), all of which I thought were outstanding movies of a similar genre. Unfortunately this film was not even in the same ball park.
Instead of giving us a proper explanation as to what had happened on earth, that left a family of 5 living in fear of making even the slightest sound, we were left to our own devices to workout what was occurring. I also found it amazing that they were able to communicate perfectly using their own sign language. To me the story line was very thin, I was never once scared, and the ending was a complete let down. However, on the plus side. The monsters were excellent, and I felt that the acting by all cast members was good. Maybe I'm wrong, this movie will probably do well at the box office, and more critics will give it a rave review, but for me, well as I said in the headline, it was 'so quiet, that I fell asleep"....
