Reasonably original but hardly compelling

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2019)

The world has been invaded by fearsome, murderous creatures that are totally blind and sense humans via sound. A family has managed to escape the creatures and have survived for over a year on an isolated farm. However, the creatures appear to have located their hideout.
Originally idea, initially. The fact that there are no sounds for large stretches of the movie, especially in the first half or so, made for a novel experience. However, it also made the movie less engaging, especially as the first half of the movie was also quite slow going, and I found my mind wandering.
Things ramped up from a point, making it more interesting. However, from that point it was really just another creature-horror movie, though with a tighter plot (not that the plot is entirely satisfactory, but it is better than that of your average horror movie).
Ultimately: okay, but not great. Some novel ideas, but also a lot of standard horror movie stuff too.
