Review

Finally checked this off the list. Little kid gets offed in the opening sequence so that was pretty ballsy. It’s also a unique idea (the monsters are attracted to even the slightest noise). I really loved the atmosphere and idea, but the execution really had me scratching my head. Why are these people living in a wide open house where these monsters can hear them taking a dump or
whatever? They had a basement area that was more quiet, but shouldn’t their entire living situation be inside a highly padded and insulated area? Instead they’re making dinner with the doors open and shit. Collect some mattresses and line the walls with them for fuck’s sake. Ugh. I love end of the world type stuff, but they need to write this stuff a lot smarter. Part 2 comes out this year.
