I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the acting was quite superb. Were there flaws in the script? YES! Kept asking myself these questions: Why not soundproof your living space? Why not live near the falls where sound is masked? Why not wear sneakers/tennis shoes rather than going barefoot? As for the pregnancy, it's inevitable that it will happen but pretty scary given the fact that a baby is all about noise! As for the beginning of the movie, when the parents set out and the smallest child is at the very back of the pack, why would that be allowed? Why would the father leave a very pregnant and due wife behind for such a lengthy time? Why would the mother not be concerned when her daughter was not present for such so long? How is it that the nail in the stair popped up and no one else stepped on it? Why could the alien break through the side of the silo but not rip through the top of the truck easily? Why wouldn't the military or other organizations figure out that high pitch sounds would immobilize the aliens? How could a shotgun kill this thing but major warfare didn't? So many questions! So many holes!
However, given all those questions and suppositions, I still enjoyed this movie and the pure intensity was an absolute delight! The acting of Emily Blunt and the daughter was fantastic. Krasinski did a great job and, hopefully, he will do better with his next project. This proves he has the chops but he needs to do better with the script. Boy, would I like a redo with this one because it could have been GREAT and a classic. Damn.
