Worst horror film I have ever seen.

Rating: 2/10 (1 October 2019)

The problems started at the beginning. There is no backstory whatsoever to what these creatures are, where the came from, an how they managed to take down the most technologically advanced species on the planet. Then there's the whole "super hearing" thing. Apparently these creatures hunt by sound, but if they can't here a little girl breathing from ten feet away in a quiet field, it's surprising they didn't die of starvation, let alone take down the human race. What really made me give up on this film, though, were the creature's weaknesses. Not that they existed, but that this incapable family who held a grudge against a young girl during an apocalypse found out what all of the world's militaries could not. I mean, the moment I saw creature open up its head shell thing, my first thought was "why don't they shoot at the soft tissue". It's invincible monster 101. Secondly, no one on the planet ever considered that a creature with sensitive hearing could be stunned, or at least confused, by a powerful frequency of sound? Statistically, they should have found this out on accident. I know that the writers probably intentionally ignored all of this to get to the dramatic context they wanted, but that lazy decision cost them my approval of the movie. I did give a consolation star, though, because those creatures are literally the coolest CGI monsters I have every seen in a film (except for maybe the grievers from the Maze Runner).
