Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds play two of their children. The cast is minimal - besides Krasinski, Emily Blunt plays his wife, and their real-life chemistry translates brilliantly. This setup pushes the family to invent creative ways to survive. Additionally, since very little is known about these creatures, this film smartly implements one of the fundamental rules of the genre - the fear of the unknown. After all, the characters can't communicate with each other openly. The rules that exist in this universe are established early on with minimal exposition. Krasinski uses this to create a dreadful sense of atmosphere throughout the film. Their only known weakness is that they are blind.
The premise is intriguing - in the near future, humans are viciously hunted down by mysterious creatures equipped with a heightened sense of sound. Actor, co-writer and director John Krasinski seems to understand this thoroughly, and the result is an unnerving film. The unique plot combined with the great acting skills of John Krasinski and Emily Blunt that creates a mysterious atmosphere and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
