Oscar: Happy Father’s Day all you dads!!! This is a pretty good modern horror/monster film….Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 96% with audience rating is 83%. Since the monsters in the film were blind, only noise could lead them to their prey. The characters in the film all used American Sign Language to communicate since they wouldn’t talk lest the aliens heard them. The movie starts off running at day 89 of an alien invasion. There is a lot of detail that the writers added such as: In a scene the family plays Monopoly but use soft plush toys as game pieces and roll the dice on a padded carpet (nice touch). The farm where the family is staying has painted floor planks to show where they need to step so the boards don’t creak. The film plays to the whole ‘no noises’ theme thoroughly and makes the weird premise believable.
Emmy: I enjoyed the film as well. I am an Office (tv show) fan so it is fantastic to see Jim Halpert (Krasinski) in a solid dramatic role. Apparently in the film, if you live next to a loud river or waterfall (hence the comic), the noises are louder than noises humans make rendering them relatively safe from the aliens… as Oscar pointed out a few times…Nice touch!!! This film pulls no punches and gives you straight action all the way through. Oscar and I recommend this film if you haven’t seen it. Emily Blunt has a great role in the film as a fearless mother and warrior!! Happy Father’s Day dads!!!
