A rehash but with strong performances and a promising plot

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2019)

I was very hyped before watching this movie and I can't say it was worth it. Its not perfect by any means though, there are some wrong decisions made in the film making. Firstly, the movie dragged on a bit I was expecting a 1 hr 30 min or 1hr 45 min movie but instead I got a 2 hr 4 min movie which felt a bit too long. Secondly, some of the character arcs weren't fulfilled as I believe they should've been. Thirdly, I can understand why some people may compare this to A Quite Place so the timing of the release could've been better. However, the pros outweigh the cons firstly, the suspense built is perfect this is partly due to the actors but a major part is of the director. Secondly, the cinematography was spectacular including the color pallet. Thirdly, the performances were phenomenal especially the one given by Sandra Bullock the whole movie is built on her incredible performance, even the child actors were good. Lastly, it didn't feel like a throw away movie it was actually worth the time invested as it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats which I think is why I give it a 6.5/10 and "C" grade.
