My GF wanted to watch it; it's not one that I would've picked. Thought is was well done and enjoyable.

It was not bad but I wish they would show a little of what they saw and not just leave it to the imagination,( I know it's more book like). The pictures helped somewhat but could have been more interesting.

Watched it w/ the GF last night.
8say yes, recommended.

I enjoyed the mystery of the “spirits” or whatever. Movies today dumb things down too much, IMO.

I don't care for sci-fi or zombie type stuff but I just gave it a shot.
I like it better than I thought I would.

I dunno.

My wife had it on the other day. I missed the beginning but could not get into the story line. It was a bit far fetched for me. I’ll pass.

Started watching it, gave up after Almost 40 minutes into it. Then Watched my wife Watch it.

Reminded me of the latest Emily Blunt movie And a bunch of similar dissapointing others. Wife enjoyed it.

As a rule, I avoid Sandra's movies. I wanted to Watch Bad times at El Royale. Still do.

That's an interesting point, as mine is generally the opposite.

I usually think, "If Sandra Bullock is in it, I'll watch it." But for some reason, this one doesn't seem attractive to me.

My take is that the reason not to show it is because everyone sees something different. The lady who walked out of the house and calmly stepped into the burning car said something about her mother. Almost as if she saw her mother. My guess is that whatever type of entity it is, it presents differently to each person.

IMO the best monster movies never or barely show the monster.

I watched it because she was in it. Now I wish I had the time I wasted watching it back.

^^^^I thought it was incredibly bad and just a ripoff of “A Quiet Place” which I also thought was not very good.

I'd pick any Twilight Zone episode at random as being superior to this almost laughable mess of a movie

It was okay. I wanted more back story on the creature or the incident.

This movie seemed like a cross between A Quiet Place” and “The Happening”. There were a lot of suspenseful moments, but overall I wasn’t all that impressed. The feel-good ending was more than a bit implausible. Unless humans could develop some kind of synthetic 3-d vision goggles, they’d be doomed if they couldn’t scavenge supplies effectively. A world of blind people couldn’t last for long.

I couldn’t understand how or why the “creatures” could make bushes shake violently, but couldn’t muster enough energy to get poorly affixed eye coverings off of people.
