Good acting from parents, overall horrible atmosphere

Rating: 1/10 (18 June 2018)

The sheer amount of logical incoherencies and unrealistic outcomes takes away the film's realism. When you can't possibly place yourself in the characters' shoes you cannot empathise and connect with the film or the characters. The film loses its suspense and conflict becomes meaningless. The two children are strangely invulnerable and the father dies in a stupid and unneeded fashion. The film stars Emily Blunt and John Krasinski who are undeniably amazing actors and has a very unique theme however ends up greatly underwhelming and seems to be a waste of talent. The nail scene quite tense and worth praising but once again why the hell would there be a nail sticking up through the wood in the middle of a plank?? Cannot recommend this film.
