Very poor story choices

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2019)

The thesis of this movie had great potential, it is just a shame how they ended up structuring the story. I mean the fact that the movie starts with a woman and the two kids and has flashbacks to the house with other survivors is insane as a choice, it basically gives away that everyone but the woman will die, so there is basically no suspense, you never fear for her life.
The mechanics of the enemy are also a bit arbitrary, they make a rule for themselves that the creature cannot go inside houses (which is pretty stupid), bland then are stuck without a story to tell so for some reason some undisclosed reason some people don't instantly kill themselves but kill others... i repeat, no reason is given. It seems if you don't look at the enemy they can't really do anything but make you hear voices of long dead people...so without the evil humans it is lackluster.
Anyway it doesn't really cost the maker anything to just give us a nice creature to look at at the end. I guess the point is to tease but it's really just annoying.
