A single father and two women brave the monstrous creatures from the safety of their homes to save the life of a young boy. There’s a scene with mid-credits. When a scientist first tries to create a ‘magic bullet’ in the lab, they put the bullet in the wrong way, load it into a gun with the bullet pointing the wrong way, and fire it at the target… Katie: They’re the new apex predators of Earth. And we’re the prey. So how do we take our place back? The concept is cool. Like the idea of creatures not going above a certain height. After watching the trailer and seeing Morena Baccarin and Anthony Mackie in the lead roles, I decided to watch. I was hoping for a Quiet Place like the movie, but this one needed intensity and character development. There are only five characters in the movie, a physicist, a father and son, a dead wife/mother, and a friend, who we don’t learn much about. Once we find some crumbs about the creatures, the movies end. The ending was a bit unsatisfying and needed more resolution. In fact, the middle scene hints at more, but I’m not sure this movie deserves a sequel. While a sequel might help answer all the unanswered questions… too many questions.
