People are missing the point...as usual.

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2018)

People who dislike this film are most likely viewing it from the wrong angle. The horror isn't supposed to come from the creatures or the setting or the likelihood of death...it's in protecting your family when the odds are stacked against you. John Krasinski has said this many times...it could have been bad guys, or dinosaurs, or aliens that hunt you by sound...the movie wasn't about the monsters, it was about how hard it is to protect your family from an unknown entity, to bounce back as a family when you lose one of your own, and to lay down your life when necessary to keep your children safe. As a parent, the concept of keeping my kids safe in this world is horrifying in and of itself, let alone with alien creatures roaming around.

If you didn't like this movie because you wanted more explanations and background information, you missed the overall point of the film. It was very well acted and directed, and very tense during some scenes. The thing I liked the most is how CLEAN it was for a horror movie...there was killing but it wasn't in your face, there were no pointless sex scenes, no f bombs every sentence. I'm not overly sensitive to any of those things I just don't like when they're added for no good reason and doesn't add in any way to the story.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend.
