It's certainly effective and to some extent goes against the horror movie stereotype by having characters you can care about, but I was a little underwhelmed. It's all a bit too M Night Shyamalan.
Haven't seen the film but I take it from your description that they are Soviet Spies and that the sound of running water foils their listening ability
Also if a creature can't see or smell, you'd imagine it would have really good hearing and would probably wander around anyway hoping to just stumble on prey. So even tippy-toeing and sign language probably wouldn't help much.
The aliens/monsters/whatever they are (it’s not revealed) have super sensitive hearing that they use to track down their human prey. If there’s masses of overlying noise presumably they wouldn’t be able to hear any conversations and eventually they’d lose interest in the house.
Amazing. Darkly funny, and absolutely savage. Top performances all around with characters you love to hate. Watched it because I *loved* nightcrawler.
I did enjoy it but I also feel that the pacing could have been a little better

On a huge sci-fi kick atm and Star Wars has rescued me from winter blues. Episode 1 to 3 were all terrible imo and I didn't have much expectation when they rebooted the franchise. I think I wrote a put down of VII when it first came out but watching it again on a tv screen, it was much more enjoyable. The casting of 1-3 was a big part of what sunk them, all excellent actors but they just didn't seem at ease in the Star Wars universe or with each other.
They seem to have put a lot more effort in casting the new movies - Ridley and Boyega are brilliant, it probably helps that they don't have a lot of acting baggage, a new hope, as they say. It still seems a bit tame that they rehash all the old icons - bad guy in mask with funky vox, evil overlord appearing via hologram, seeking the one who can save them etc. But hell; it's Star Wars and taking it in any other direction would probably doom it to life as an endless tv series.
Also watched Rogue One, which might just be my favourite of the new releases. Casting, again, is spot on - the girls' empowered thing is strong with the force atm and Jones is perfect as the orphaned heroine.
Finally, caught Solo, which seems to have had poor reviews, with internet word being they won't pursue it as a franchise spin off. Which is a shame, as it's a neat movie. Starts off a bit cheesy but soon picks up when Han meets Chewy and flies from then on.
Integration of the digital elements into the new movies is seamless and looks far more natural than in 1-3 where the focus was often on large armies and endless alien vistas which often looked more painterly than filmic - perhaps that was the myth making prequel they had in mind but it never caught my imagination the way the new more intimate stories do.
The Last Jedi just landed on my doormat, the story continues....
Deadpool 2
Same same. Still funny. I wonder if potentially a better movie than the first but suffers for not being first so loses a smidge of shock factor.
Venom
Hmm. Ok. Tom Hardy is actually really good (as ever) but the rest is, not so great.
Velvet Buzzsaw
Critique of art and critics and buyers in a sort of black comedy meets Final Destination way.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Highly enjoyable despite plenty of factual liberty-taking. Malek deserves all the awards he's been given, as he properly embodies Freddie. But it's good that the movie didn't win the Best Picture Oscar, as that would have been a stretch.
Massive bonus points for "Brian" who is genuinely spectacular as BM yet I don't even think I know the guy's name.
@JezWynd I have a theory about Ep I-III. If you took all the Obi Wan investigative stuff and put that into a movie, it would be like an intergalactic Columbo and a hell of a lot more enjoyable!
We went to see Mary Queen of Scots last night. My memory of the historical facts is pretty hazy but the film itself was just quite boring with some really questionable camera work, cuts and pacing.
It has dated quite a bit, but it was still enjoyable. 1 kid loved it, the other got bored!
