A creature movie done right

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2019)

In the era now of "don't look at the monsters", "don't speak to the monsters", "no idea how to kill the monsters".... this one got it right. I wasn't scared by Birdbox. The Silence was okay but maybe a bit 80'sish. I cared about the characters in this one. You didn't need much dialogue because everything was conveyed beautifully through character interactions, facial expressions, choices, and pain. It delivered on some beautifully horrific creatures. I didn't care where they came from - clearly some infestation type of situation. Sound mixing and cinematography were excellent. I was sitting straight up and leaning forward off the couch much of the time. Type of movie where you start yelling at the characters - directing them on what to do and then realize, be quiet! Loved it.
