There's a world where those with voices can't be heard, where noises remove choices - summon the sword, that comes down against dissent, filled with anger and ferment, culling all upon detection, once they're stirred. It's a battle that has raged throughout our time, when upper hands, take their advantage, as they've climbed - despots, tyrants and dictators, oppress , control, remove contesters, against the minds who'd seek to challenge, their fixed line.
A wonderful piece of filmmaking that parallels the persecution suffered by so many over the years, and the ways the oppressed have found to stay concealed and fight for what they believe is worth fighting for. Great performances all round.

There were too many plot holes. The answer was too easy to figure out. Also, it's pretty damn obvious how to confuse, defeat these creatures in a multiple of ways. Perhaps with a bit more properly applied science and some decent background this movie could have been better. However, if you're looking for a scary adventure and you don't care much about the science then you may enjoy this one.
First, and with justice, the best horror movie for me, in years and in my opinion still is 2014 "It follows" .
The movie is too short , the story is too fast, like others wrote here it has too many plot holes, it lacks intensity,atmosphere,sound editing and cinematography..it lacks a great Director...John Krasinski is only an average actor and a inexperienced and basic Director, the rest is only hype and marketing..
Save your money, you can save it by seeing it outside movie theaters.

I rarely write a review, but when I saw the negative reviews claiming the positive reviews must be bots I felt it was time. Yes, there is a lot of sub-titling. The folks often had to be silent. How else are you going to convey what's going on? Do the complainers never see a foreign language film?
Granted, we don't know why the creatures are there, but is that necessary for the story? I didn't walk away unsatisfied without that answer. It really didn't seem to be that important. This was a story about a family's struggle to survive in circumstances very few would make it through.
The tension in this movie was incredible. I felt a kinship with the family I don't often feel. I see 30-40 movies a year. This was one of the best I've seen in a few months. I'll be going to see it again.

In a few words: smart, entertaining, novel and intense thriller movie. Beautiful cinematography and excellent acting from the kids and Emily Blunt. Nice one for John Krasinksi directing and writing.
Overall, throughout the film there's excellent timing in deploying tropes. All the tropes are classic 101 cinematic thriller tropes, so there's nothing really new or anything you haven't seen before BUT the build up to each of these scenes, which gets supported greatly by the combination of the sound editing and the camera work, creates excellent tension.
Its predictable and unpredictable at the same time. And I guess that's the novelty in this film.
Add to all that great photography, cinematography and good acting and you can have an amazing cinematic experience.

The hype was right, this is a thrilling film.
10/10 for the fun.
