Better than average horror

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2018)

This movie contains violence towards kids. As a dad I am really sensitive to seeing bad stuff happen to kids in movies and tv. There is no real gore, a couple of scenes where you see some blood but they did a good job of keeping it pg.
Weird monsters have taken over the world that hunt by sound so the whole premise is for the characters to stay quiet. The movie does a good job of building tension by using this idea and only teasing of the dangers surrounding the characters. We don't get a full reveal until much further into the movie.
There are some problems with this movie as with any movie but it was entertaining enough for me to look past it's problems and just enjoy it for what it was, a fun scary movie (well, my level of scary anyway).
This kind of reminded me of that movie Reign of Fire where the world is taken over by dragons, mixed with the fixation of a global event but from the eyes of a family like in Signs. Both of those movies would be on par with this one.
I will be looking forward to seeing what Krasinski comes up with next.
