One of the most frustrating movies of 2018

Rating: 1/10 (23 September 2018)

The acting was good. The cinematography was also good. The story telling? Not so much.
I couldn't get into the story. So many things were left unanswered and the majority of the movie didn't make any sense.
My girlfriend absolutely loved it and convinced me to watch it with her. Maybe the movie was written for 21 year old women, but I hated it and found it insulting to my intelligence.
They live in a world where aliens who hunt by sound will kill them instantly if they make the slightest sound. That's a great concept but it doesn't work when the writers don't even try to make the film believable.
For example: (Spoilers)
When the kids are falling down in the corn (corn doesn't work like quicksand btw) the girl goes totally under and apears to be lost forever until her little brother is able to pull her back out with one arm. What?
They somehow have electricity, for no explicable reason, but they are using a kerosene lamp to play monopoly at night? Really? This was only done so they could knock it over and make a noise.
The worst part of the movie was the first 5 minutes when the family is walking down a trail and the smallest kid is left following them about 200 feet behind them. Are you kidding me? So completely stupid. I knew right then I would hate this movie.
Then the way the father dies is unbearably stupid. My girlfriend was crying when he died, but I simply couldn't have cared less. Instead of feeling invested in the movie or the characters, I couldn't get past all the things that just didn't make sense.
The whole time I was watching the movie I thought of about 50 different ways for the main characters to make their lives better and keep them safe from the aliens. So many things that ANY normal intelligent person would do except for the main characters appetently.
Also how are they afraid that the monsters will hear them moving their monopoly pieces but Emily blunt literally walks through standing water while breathing heavily with the monster about 3 feet away.
Then the ending is just so poorly done and anti climatic. I couldn't believe it was over. The deaf girl figured out their weakness was high pitched sound when no one else could figure that out? Seriously?
I recommend that everyone who reads this give the movie 1/10 stars and saves their money. If my review can keep even one person from watching the movie then I've done my job.
