If you can justify it, that's fine.

I would give it four and a half stars for its complete escape from the low-energy way of screaming at every turn of the average American horror movie, and for its miraculous elimination of the noise in the usual theater that is extremely detrimental to the viewing effect. At the beginning of the film, a few brief and clear shots are used to explain that the monster has invaded for a long time when the story takes place, and the population on the earth has been reduced to only a few human elites who have figured out the law and have a way to deal with it. At the same time, it also paved the way for why they have the ability to arrange a light signal system in their homes and prepare for noise reduction in advance for production. People have never found out the weaknesses of monsters, but only know that the abrupt sound related to the sound will induce monsters to come to destroy the sound source, while the constant movement of natural sounds such as the sound of waterfall water can be immune to being attacked. Probably in the early days of the invasion, the monsters also attacked the waterfall, and the result was that the water was cut off and the water flowed more. When I brought my son to teach survival skills, I had a rare conversation under the shelter of the waterfall. Echoing this passage is that after the baby was born, the basement leaked to form a sound environment similar to a small waterfall, which confused the attack judgment of the monster, and the mother was able to retreat behind the water curtain to avoid being killed in seconds. The eldest son has been ill for many years, so he has formed a cautious personality, and his cautiousness complements his sister's smart but spirited personality. The opportunity for a breakthrough in the story is also in the key "learning from weaknesses". The hearing aid worn by the daughter who was born deaf and mute was accidentally found to be overclocking the big-eared monster, making it painful and unable to close the carapace, exposing the weakest body so that Mom can kill a big-eared monster for the first time with just a gun. This also points out why a country's force cannot eliminate the big-eared monster, including some comments that it is logically unreasonable. It shows that when the country fought against the big-eared monsters, it only looked for a solution from "how to pry and destroy the carapace". Its setting is the strong armor that no weapons can destroy, so some comments proposed to gather all the big-eared monsters by sound. Bombing it again and destroying the entire army will not work at all, and the result must be that not even a crack will be blown up. The end of the film ends when the mother and daughter decide to use this method to continue to eliminate the big-eared monster. As for the killing situation, there is really no need to continue filming. However, I still have to deduct half a star. This half star includes the inexplicable young son who was killed playing with a rocket at the beginning. He was very smart in the first five minutes. Why did he suddenly start playing with a rocket when his head was squeezed by the door; including the bag that the mother carried by the nails on the floor Hook, the always alert mother had to pull it up as if she was being tricked, instead of stepping back and loosening it to see what stuck in the bag; It also includes the father walking into the bathroom where the mother who had just given birth was hiding, and being frightened to death by the sudden bloody palm of the mother, and walking with the daughter to the flashlight in the cornfield and being grabbed by the eldest son. The scene where people scare their own people is a bit boring. But despite these flaws, it's still a high-quality thriller with a unique perspective and an excellent performance.
