The Quiet Hour

I had to pause this one halfway in, then finish it later. It is pretty boring and insubstantial. The plot is something that should last for ten minutes. I've seen SpongeBob episodes with more plot. I get that they're on a budget and can't make a film about fighting aliens, and I wasn't demanding that either as I'm not the biggest on sci-fi. In fact, I think the few shots of the alien structures we got were pretty well-made, especially for low-budget. I also like the overall cinematography of the film.

However, there were so many ways of making this a good drama film, which was the intention. Have many people show up in the house and create internal conflict as the weirdos outside still form a threat. Instead, there is only sister and brother and the one unwanted visitor, and the villains are not nearly as threatening as they want you to think. At least it wasn't as slow and boring as A Quiet Place, so I can give it that.
