If It didn't scare me, it must be pretty bad.

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2019)

I am not a horror fan. Morbid curiosity and coaxing from my best friend got me to finally watch this film tonight. I get scared easily but she promised I would most likely be ok. She was right. It was a great film, don't get me wrong, but if it didn't scare me and I'm pretty wimpy, the poor reviews don't surprise me. That being said, the reviews seem to be upset this wasn't a different movie. Reviewers seem to have wanted a movie about how you exterminate the monsters. That's not what this film was about. There's plenty of apocalyptic films like 'Armageddon' and 'independence day' if you want that kind of film. This, as John Krasinski said, was a love letter to his kids. He did a fine job. I was a little surprised to see he and emily didn't have the chemistry I was expecting but that's not really the point I guess. As far as all the fallacies people are pointing out, they just want something to be mad at and are reaching. Definite recommend.
