Don't fall for the overrated reviews, this is mediocre at best

Rating: 3/10 (9 April 2018)

This is my first review on the site, even though I've been utilizing IMDB for years. I felt obligated to rate it after being suckered from the advertising to see it. DON'T fall for the overrated reviews, this film is mediocre at best. I should have known better when they were giving it 100% ratings from critics here and on rotten tomatoes. This is the last time I'll let myself fall for the hype and fake reviews and do the proper research before viewing. If half of the positive reviews on the film are actually legit, then maybe it is due to the increased pussification of America because it is not scary at all. Films like The Descent and It Comes at Night were WAYY better with a similar plot/setting and they were ignored or butchered by critics.
For this film being rated PG-13 with very little dialogue, good luck with trying enjoy it with all the moron teenagers talking and laughing half the time. The film itself lacks any edge of the seat scary moments. The monsters/aliens have no explanation of how they arrived on earth or anything about how to defend yourself besides being silent. You would think if this was a worldwide thing that the military or scientists would have some noticeable presence or solutions on how to deal with this mess.
Why would the couple even continue to have a baby in this type of world where silence is a necessity to survive? Once the baby was delivered, it was laughable how quiet the baby was, hardly any crying if any. The characters just seemed to be dumb with how they handled everything. They knew that the river/waterfall gave off a lot of noise to hide from the creatures and could have built a shelter to live in along the coast, but they stay in their home in the middle of a corn field. Instead of having dozens on security monitors in the basement, they could have just placed alarm clocks throughout the woods to distract the creatures as they moved from place to place. The ending was also very lame and corny, nothing that you haven't seen before. For a true horror fan, it might be worth just one watch, but don't waste your money on it in the theater because it's defiantly not worth it.
