Terrible from start to finish. The premise behind the movie is silly. Solution to the problem: go to the grocery, get supplies, and stay put like the news suggested. In the meantime, the government acts quickly to produce loud sounds in order to lure and kill the very primitive bat like creatures. Happy ending.
But let's talk the actual film, the bad guys were ridiculous- we're wanting your fertile daughter 3 days into this scenario that may or may not be easily resolved in a few weeks...yeah, maybe there are those crazies out there, but for me, again, it just seemed ridiculous. I hate aunt Zelda's acting, and the whole family were laughable as a "deaf" family. The daughter didn't remotely struggle with speech or feign to struggle. I get that her deafness was a recent development, but i have known many deaf individuals and the whole movie almost seemed irreverent toward that community, in that the roles were clearly poorly researched by the characters except for stanley tucci, who generally is great in most of his films. Overall, i advise not wasting your hour and a half on this.
2 stars because i like Stanley tucci lol. Not sure why he signed onto this drivel.
