BOO.

Rating: 3/10 (7 April 2018)

Friends, I am amazed at the glowing reviews. This movie was such a disappointment. I created an IMDb account today just to warn people of how bad it is!
I love Emily Blunt, but this boring movie is a stinker, full of holes:
-Where does the farm's electricity come from? (Is there a diesel generator I somehow missed?)
-Why doesn't the family quietly make contact with their neighbors, so they can help each other, and pool resources and information?
Other questions:
-Why do the writers think we need 3 reminders to grasp that the daughter's hearing aid hurts the monsters? Duh! (The "glowing review" people are slow to connect dots, apparently.)
-Why creep out the audience about a poor crying baby? Why not creep out the audience using a beloved family pet instead?
The most moving thing in the film for me was the family holding hands and silently giving thanks over a meal.
Usually I come out of a bad movie thinking of ways it could have been improved. But this story is hopeless.
PS Oh yah. Don't eat popcorn in the theater when watching this movie. The Boogey Man gonna git u with all your noise!
