Karthik Y. @madkarthi 5d The movie started off with a very nice and interesting setup. The initial concept of blind creatures hunting by sound builds a good amount of curiosity. But then the narrative gets dragged down with too many unnecessary scenes in the middle that stall the momentum. ​At the end a new human villain group comes up out of nowhere. From that point to the very end of the film the pacing becomes way too fast. It completely fails to build up any genuine tension at all. I mean within the final 10 minutes of the movie we already see how they easily kill those bad guys and then handle the creatures. Everything wraps up in a massive rush. ​To make things worse some awful VFX shots of the creatures looked incredibly cheap and completely failed to hook me. It is a very mid film overall. The runtime is too short and the director simply didn't use the time properly to develop a satisfying survival thriller.

There were some sweet and intense moments, but the mediocre story and lackluster visuals made this movie less than other movies in the same genre. It's not the worst movie ever, but there are definitely better ones out there. See more Trevor E @TrevLikesFilms Apr 13 I’m not with writers killing babies in movies. This p’d me off because it wasn’t even written well. It was a scene they could have done without.

We are to believe that a species of vicious bats evolved a survived for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years trapped in a cave until some splunkers accidentally poke a hole into their vault. How did these creatures live? What did they eat? And then there’s the lady with the fenced in house. She has the house cleverly sealed off with a noisemaker should someone open the gate. And when someone tries it, she comes out with a gun shouting to get off her land. Didn’t she get the memo about the flying bat creatures?! And then the end of the movie – – spoiler alert – – it’s stupid. The family finds their way up to where there’s snow on the theory that these creatures don’t like the cold. Fair enough. Until we see one of the creatures tending to its clutch of babies right there in the snow. All in all, three stars is being generous. See more Dan K @MovieScroll Feb 20 I loved the Movie. I thought Kate Corbett was ourstanding. And indeed all actors were exceptional. Loved the plot. Dont love the critics. I am here to get guidance about what is good to watch but generally speaking critics dont appear to like movies. Like weather forecasters they are afraid to give a positive forecast. I bet I have missed many enjoyable movies because critics fundamentaly dont really know their job or what an enjoyable movie is. But they get their fees, so thats all right isnt it ? For them. But not for me and other viewers. Thats why I am no longer interest in watching critics reviews. And I am beginning to wonder why I should visit your website at all ?
