Emily Blunt is my favorite working actress these days--never really been into the horror genre but I think I may have to go see this

I did. The whole second half of the movie is pretty much one extended set piece, and I was kinda blown away by its craftsmanship. Crazy levels of intensity are achieved. Who knew Krasinski had this in him as a filmmaker?

Were the monsters scary or just your typical CGI cartoons?

That's great. This is probably the first horror movie I've ever wanted to see in theatres.

I mean, they're definitely CGI, and I was skeptical of them at first, but I came around by the end. There's actually a little touch in the creature design near the end that made me feel a little nauseous. I appreciate that they don't shy away from the monsters, too - you see them full-on, and you see them a pretty good amount of time.

Much like Get Out, there seems to be a real, genuine love for genre cinema here. The opening sequence is pure Romero (mostly Day of the Dead, with a little Land of the Dead too), and it's nice to see so much Signs influence. I love that movie.

Interesting. I doubt I'll get a chance to see it in the theater...who am I fooling I know I wont get a chance to see it in the theater but I'll def check it out on home video. My wife and I love Signs.

Everything about this, from the author, to the content, gives me a boner

Yes this was very good

The only thing that made me roll my eyes (and this is an insignificant nitpick) was

the exposition-through-whiteboard in the dad's basement. "BLIND" "THREE CONFIRMED IN AREA" "WHAT IS THEIR WEAKNESS???"
