Psst! Nice Idea, Shhhh!-oddy Inconsistent Story

Rating: 4/10 (6 January 2019)

A simple and intriguing premise, didn't need a big budget to deliver, just needed to be consistent and feel real... which is where it lets itself down.
The lack of consistency and the many (easily fixed) plot holes interrupts the stylish and tense themes running through the movie, whereby rather than being drawn into the story you step and way thinking Huh!?
The idea, albeit no means original did have the capacity to deliver something original and intelligent, however from the opening scenes (the rocket) you realise that the movie focuses on easy &/or stupid decisions throughout to engage its audience, from the pregnancy (why!?), spending far too much time focusing on a (pointless) nail through to the unnecessary death of one of the characters. Given that the family had been dealing with the situation for 1 1/2 years you would have expected them to have learned something!
The other main issue is that the movie main focus is about staying quiet. However the amount of noise they can make before it becomes a problem seems to change massively depending on the scene, not to mention the creatures can make as much noise as they want without alerting each other!
Unfortunately this inconsistency carries on throughout the movie and ultimately makes you care little about the characters, what is happening to them or the film as a whole.
