In a devastated Earth overrun by invincible predators of a possible extraterrestrial origin, the Abbotts find themselves struggling to survive in the desolate urban jungle of New York City, defined by a new era of utter silence. Indeed, as this new type of invader is attracted to noise, even the slightest of sounds can be deadly; however, it's been already twelve months since the powerful monsters' first sightings, and this resilient family still stands strong. Of course, learning the rules of survival in this muted dystopia is essential; nevertheless, now, of all times, an otherwise joyous event puts in jeopardy the already fragile stability. And now, more than ever, the Abbotts must not make a sound. —Nick Riganas

Trivia
The film's director and male lead, John Krasinski, played the creature in a motion capture suit for a few scenes.

Goofs
The scene in the grain bin when the kids are sinking into the corn like quicksand is inaccurate. While that is a danger (usually fatal), the only way a person sinks like that is when the grain is being removed from the bottom of the bin. That's when a person is drawn down and suffocated. If the grain is stationary, there is no danger of sinking like that.

Quotes
Lee Abbott: [Signed] I love you. I've always loved you.

Crazy credits
The main title appears after about nine minutes, created to look as though it is made from sand, and is the only on-screen credit aside from the opening production logos.

Connections
Featured in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: Emily Blunt/John Heilemann & Alex Wagner/Kacey Musgraves (2018)

10/10

Don't chew loud.

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.

Try eating popcorn while watching this...

The hype was right, this is a thrilling film.

10/10 for the fun.
