The memes made me watch it

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2019)

I gave the 6 for: cinematography, lighting, casting, acting and way the film used flashbacks to tell the story. Sandra Bullocks put in a great acting role again.
The movie lacks explanation and fear, I was left with more questions than answers and wasn't scared (unlike twitter).
!!Possibly spoilers after this point!!
Some of the questions I was left with:
what was the monster? - Charlie gave us a religious explanation to what it was which leads to other questions. Why didn't it effect the crazies? How did Tom resist it for that short time. Does it not effect the blind? What if you make yourself blind? Don't get me started on the birds, where some of the cast ended up or the ending.
It seems Susanne bier has no intention to show us what the monster looked like. However putting a reveal on the boat instead of those shadows would have been better. Gusts of wind didn't creep me out.
comparing this film to a similar films 'A quite place' which has a monster reveal and used it to create tension and fear, this move would have scored higher than a 6.
Bottom line is the film was alright, if everyone listened to Douglas (John malkovich) or made the kids blind the film would be 30 minutes long.
(Disclaimer: many of my questions could have been answered in the book however this a review on the film.)
