Wow, watched the day after Christmas and can honestly say it's THE BEST movie of the 2018 year!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2018)

I can't believe there are negative reviews about this movie. Let me take a minute to shoot them down; I see some upset saying it's a rip off of 'Quiet Place' with Emily Blunt and/or 'The Happening'...M. Night Sh/Wahlberg vehicle a few years ago.
Well, to put that too rest, this movie is head and shoulders above either of those movies....plot wise, acting wise, special effects, character development, overall creepiness, logic, etc. etc.
Some seem to dislike this because it doesn't give any real explanation for what the creatures/monster/ghosts/aliens/thingys are...huh? And I ask; Why should they? Has it occurred to anyone that the people in this fictious, horrible, Apocalyptic mess has no idea what they are, so why should we the viewer have that knowledge? I think it adds to the uneasiness of being in the same boat as the characters and not knowing what the heck is after you or what you are up against.
As far as the acting, Bullock is excellant, and in fact there really are NO bad performances in this movie. Tom Hollander, (you'll recognize as the weird, assassin guy from the movie 'Hanna' that pursues Saoirse Ronan) gives a chilling performance and ol Malkovich plays his part in usual convincing manor as the pragmatic, stay-alive-at-all-costs 'Douglas'.
The movie is BEYOND tense and has some scenes with little children in peril that might turn some off to it. But all in all, it's a great movie and it lived up to the enormous hype that I heard before watching. Thumbs way up!!
