NOT A RIP OFF!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2019)

First of all, I had a review on here which was the #1 review at the time with over 500+ likes...curious as to its removal...
Less a review, and more a comment on the state of ignorance with the non-reading public.
I will also say that this movie was decent, but the book blew me away! I believe this story does much much better as a novel than it does as a film. With the novel, you obviously must imagine every little detail described ...and I felt it was much more effective than when it's a picture pained for you, with a film.
Also, I wanted to say, many seem confused as to if the creatures are actual physical monsters or something ...more mind based? The book makes it VERY clear that yes, there are actual flesh and blood monsters.
I think the film is actually closer to a 5-6 on IMDb, however as many horror buffs know, anything above a 4.5 (sometimes even a 4) is actually not that bad for a horror film. Mainly due to the stigma of horror not being on the artistic level of say a drama. So I'm giving it a 7 to counter the jerks giving it a 4 and lower, mainly based on the fact that they believe this movie ripped of A Quiet Place.
Give it a go! I do suggest everyone read the novel first though!
