I really enjoyed the concept and the isolating feel of the film. The whole time your trying to figure out who these creatures are and what they want.
The pros are almost outweighed by the annoying little girl's character. I thought there girl's acting was great but the character was so obnoxious. She wouldn't shut the heck up for one second. She's taught to keep quiet in order to survive but she was so loud and cried every five minutes. I honestly wanted to shut the film off because of it. Not only that, but her need to interject stupidly all the time felt pointless. Instead of the parents doubling down in ensuring she knows her role for survival, they catered to her every question and babied every sad expression she made. Your sitting there thinking that this is no time for Mickey mouse b.s. this is the time to shut up and stay alive.
Honestly, this movie would be great if the kid's character was cut or they made her not the center of the movie.
Five stars because I liked the concept and the overall plot line but hated the kid.

I was *very* pleasantly surprised by this film. Is it a "scary" horror? No, not necessarily, although it did have a few moments.
It ended up being a subtle story, brilliantly told for the most part, a great character study and acting. Filmed in a brilliant little set, claustrophobic and moody.
If you're looking for jump scares and special effects, guns and explosions, screaming bimbos and tough-guy saviors, this is not for you.
It was perhaps a little heavy handed in its last 1/4, trying to "explain" things, but we all know that directors often think an average audience can need that. I think a little subtlety would have gone a long way with this, esp in editing.
I highly recommend not researching this film, knowing anything beforehand.

Overall worth watching if you can phase out the child actor Zoe. I know child acting can be hit or miss and try to give it the benefit of the doubt. But this was pretty brutal. Constantly overacting, and scripting makes it seem like she's the main character.
Other acting was great, movie premise and final twist was very interesting/captivating. However, combination of Zoe going over the top screaming and too much script for her ruined a lot of scenes and detracted from the suspense. Otherwise would be an 8/10. Similar to 10 clover field lane.
To start off, this movie was very slow and if you have the time and dedication to finish it I would truly recommend it. Some serious twist and surprising plot developments. Alexander Skarsgard was tremendous. If it wasn't for him, this movie would have fell face first. The script was the only thing that I thought could have been better. Poorly written but but again the acting was what it kept the movie together. I'm very tough on my ratings but an 8 of 10 is quite accurate. The final 30 minutes is when the tension builds up and captures the audience and I promise, if you can stay with the first half and not give up you will be very happy you did.
Absolutely incredible acting. The father and mother were, of course (considering who played them) great, but the girl in the movie was completely awesome. What a great twist on a "zombie" movie--and I'm not about to give anything away. Its time for you to spend some time on the edge of your seat like I did. I loved the way the story worked in what happened by flashes of the past that were still tied to the present. This movie is well worth what you will pay to watch it. This movie reminded me of a horror story of old like " The Haunting", where scenes took their time to build and had you fully invested in what was going on when anything dramatic happened. Watch it in a dark room and enjoy!!!
