Unbelievably Stupid...

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2018)

I think this film has destroyed the last bit of faith I had in humanity. Not because any shred of logic in the film is completely dispensed with, but because -- according to the ratings on this site -- it is regarded as one of the greatest horrors of all time. Is this a joke? Even B-movies generally contain some semblance of a story or some attempt at character development. And as for the plot holes... this thing is holier than Zeus himself!
Seriously, I don't know how to illustrate this without giving away spoilers, but the basic idea is that you have these (presumably alien) creatures that are so sensitive to sound they can hear you drop an item inside your house when they are over a mile away. (Yet they don't use echolocation. Hmm...) Even though they're blind, they've wiped out the world. (Because apparently no one ever thought about creating diversions or setting traps.)
Good time to get pregnant and have a baby, yes? (Don't worry though, if you decide to give birth *three feet away from one* it probably won't hear you... or the baby!)
I could write a VERY long list of stupid inconsistencies, flat out deranged decisions, and plot holes riddled throughout the movie. But my issue isn't really with the movie. There are terrible films (like this) out there and I normally just shrug it off and get on with my day. It's just the fact that this is currently rated higher than many classic films, and it leaves me wondering how our species is going to survive much longer with this level of complete asininity.
Just a tip for the logically challenged: Just because the filmmakers are able to mute the soundtrack whenever they please, it doesn't mean that humans can realistically run (yes, run!) across wooden boards, over crunchy leaves, through thick fields and foliage, climb metal ladders, etc, without making even the slightest sound.
