I know. Every monster/alien movie lately leans on this "invulnerable except specific weakness" trope so hard it's about to break and I'm sick of it. It never makes any sense and makes the movies repetitive and boring as well as illogical.
@@russman3787 it only gets worse when humanity is seen as a very professional race and not primal objects used in science classes. Humanity can compliment itself damnit
@@russman3787 Either just make them consistently tough or make the weakness an.. actual weakness. Like how Venom, for example; has a weakness to sonic sounds because it rips apart the slime via vibration.
To me, the main issue is that its rather boring as well. Aliens came from space, were indestructible and just voila. As someone who read "Crossed", I just think the main issue with this movie is how its reusing the same tropes. "Mankind is down to few numbers" "Within hours, monsters overan most of mankind" "They appear without weakness" And the tropes are not played with. The monsters themsevles even look like some therapeutic toy made by H R Geyger.
So let me get this straight...these aliens are so good at hearing shit you can’t step on the creaky plank on the floor, but they are not able to hear your elevated heartbeat while standing right in front of you all flaired open? Ok...
The sister low key screwed everyone over Got brother killed Got the father killed Ran away while the mother needed help with labor Was just overall an asshole
This entire movie's main monster can easily be taken out via noise. It is attracted to noise and sounds, hence setting traps against it would be easy. Also, it is said that it has super hearing or super sensitive hearing so making extremely loud noise would be ideal since it can stun them or severely damage their hearing. Honestly, I have no idea the military lost against these monsters. Also monkey bombs are a must!
think its not how loud a noise is that cripples them, but a specific frequency, so maybe indeed they didnt figure that out on time (especiallya s there wouldnt be any clue theya re stunned by a specific frequency to begin with) Still, traps are completely valid.

@@thorveim1174 nah then you understand that they are attracted to sound pretty fast and then you just try anything around that and trying different frequencies would be prob top 3 things to try this shit is written by people that dont play games.
@@thorveim1174 While yes you can put them down with a gun by using that frequeicy. We still have things that literally can microwave a person with the amount of radiation it puts out. Also we would find very quickly these things cant swim, so the entire human race would just move to open water and the creatures would probaly starve out. Or you know...nukes
the idea of a monkeybomb is a pretty legit idea ngl. Since the creature are sensitive to sound, making something emit a loud blaring sound could mask the sound of running or talking.
1:12 “Dumb infant, who’s traveling at the back of the pack puts a battery in a toy and gets rugby tackled/Deaded by a sound whoring monster” I’m wheezing rn 💀
Okay make sure to breath in and out with 5 second intervals. Stand up straight in order not to block your airway. Call your local ambulance services if this continues to happen. 👍
You know, the fact that they mentioned how the waterfall lets you make as much noise as you want leads me to believe that it's absolutely moronic to just not live close to the waterfall instead of in a middle of a cornfield.
I see this argument a lot, please do explain how you build an entire home without making noise? You cant cut trees down, the whole idea is that the noise must be UNDER the level of the water so how do you build it? Live in a cold damp cave the rest of your life?
Just get yourself a siren or smth and have this thing going on far from your home but close enough to obstruct other noises. Also it always surprises me how humanity in those movies loses to some weak ass zombies or shiet like in this movie. For God's sake, with technology that we have, fucking tanks and what not. And of course there's always that scene when a solo person with a weak ass weapon like a shotgun takes care of those monsters. Like, you tellin me entire military couldn't deal with those 🥶.
This whole movie could be prevented if humanity just blasted all their tornado/air raid sirens and bombed the creatures while they congregate around it.
@Joseph Duval They literally get shot and killed by 12 gauge in both movies. Bombs have considerable FAR MORE FORCE and lethality. You think a bunch of pellets has anything on shrapnel from a 50 KG bomb?
@Joseph Duval The fact that they have impenetrable skin doesn't matter. The force of bullets is still gonna hurt like a bitch. It may not pierce skin but it will definitely hurt. Say you shoot them with a 50 cal. The force of the bullet is still gonna cause internal bleeding, implosion of digestive tracks, destruction of major arteries. The monsters are easily killable.
If you actually pay attention to the movie, Deaf Girl is actually the villain, literally everything that goes wrong is directly her fault. Kid dies? She gave him the toy Mom ends up nearly dying? She was the one who abandoned her heavily pregnant mother Nearly drowning in corn? She started a pointless argument in a life or death situation Dad dies? Guess who he died to rescue Personally I find this movie hysterical since I couldn't help trying to figure out if they intentionally made her a horrible person who nearly get's her entire family killed through stupidity and angst, or if she's secretly a Jigsaw wannabe who's evil plans simply failed to kill all her intended targets.
His videos are literally called “(…) explained by an idiot”, which I doubt he is, but usually when someone as clever as him considers themselves like that it’s to be modest, and to not set expectations, to avoid smartasses from being little b******, which to clarify I’m not saying you are.
I love how the dad has time to stand and scream or an entire 10 seconds while the thing just stands and waits. In every other instance we've seen in this vid they immediately just swoop in and kill.
I remember going to watch Ready Player One and we sat down and saw shots of an abandoned town and were like "Damn, I didn't know it was post-apocalypse" then I saw them searching the pharmacy and we realized we were watching A Quiet Place, we just stayed wasn't disappointed
Here is the rating: prosthetics are around 5000$, and 3 wooden eyeballs are 30$. So let’s be generous and go 1 prosthetic= 5. 3 wooden eyeballs = 30. 5 x 18 = 90, so the rating is 9 outta 3
I am a simple man: YT recommends me a video I've already seen a few times, but it's uploaded by High Boy, I fully watch it and leave a comment for the algorithm
This guy, for an "idiot", he sure has a wide range of knowledge, an ultra range of vocab, a very unique way of rating things, and a great sense of humor.
I like how this family literally lives next to a corn field. They can't harvest it since it's extremely loud, and it just means that they can't run away from the monsters through it because, again, they would make a ton of noise. Also, why don't they just live next to the waterfall, or put speaker's a mile away to attract all the monsters there in an emergency???
@@tesstickle6974 I agree, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed I saw it in theatres when it came out and I still enjoyed myself quite a bit if you think about it, every movie is flawed, some just more than others
Ik it's a year since you posted this but for sure there was some other animal on the planet of the sound whores that did that to defend themselves,now that i think about it the ecosystem of said planet would prob have really scary shit at least for us as it's probable that vision is useless there so we would be fucked real hard
"DUDE Taco Bell! Taco Bell DEFINETLY killed someone in this movie. Someone's had either an avalanche triggering fart or jet engine diarrhea and died, i guarantee it " This is why i love High Boi
Why did nobody in this universe ever use their damn ability against them?! Every single time a creature was around, you could literally throw a damn rock against the forest and it’ll chase it. Easy strat
@@ShivaDaRealG good to see youtube allowed me to translate your comment to suggested english cant make this up RU-vid saw saaaaaaammmeee and thought hol up that aint english chief
wasnt expecting this to be the best recap ive ever seen🤣🤣 lmaoooo the fact ive already watched the movie andd was watching like you telling me sum i aint everrrr hearddddd before.
The reason they dont sink is because they lie down, spreading the weight out helps in any situation where you are sinking in something like seeds/grain. Its legit something that actually kills people quite a lot believe it or not
Grain entrapment is super real, super deadly, and super interesting to read about, such as how hypothermia can occur, how grain causes friction (so much more force than expected is required to pull a victim out), and how (even when the victims airway is unobstructed) the pressure at depths can restrict breathing and being stuck has be likened to cement. Unironically raise awareness for how dangerous silos can be.
This really is a crappy game. I mean just look at it, you can just steal the tutorial NPC. If it weren't the only release at the time when nerve gear released we wouldn't be playin' it.
Bro why have i not heard of this man till today just stumbled across the best content, i laughed so hard watching this guy this is gold man keep up the amazing work!
7:40 Thank you! That part had me furious when I was watching. Dude didn't even try to live he just went straight for epic sacrifice, because movie's gotta movie I guess.
8:00 if i was a dad and my children were watching and hearing me, i would choose my last noise in life to be shouting "I love you, guys, please stay silent, I love you, be smart, survive." or something like that.
As a metalhead this concept always made me chuckle. Most humans can't stand hours of blast beats and breakdowns. No way there wouldn't be a tribe of Slayer fans out there just having the time of their lives.
@@CaptainDoomsday If the hearing aid is able to flash bag them, a full-blown metal concert would blow their heads off. Ironically metal heads would be dealing with these creatures Mars Attacks style by blasting the music then just running them down.
@@BirneAsche ignoring the frequency, what if you just play loud music from different directions at all times so the monsters get confused? same logic as the waterfall. the guys had electricity ffs
@@BirneAsche yeah but that aint a hard thing to figure out just go through the spectrum it would have taken someone less than a day to figure out that.
The alternative he gave for the Scream at the Last ...and proving why having kid is wrong in such time ... Made me laugh so hard that food fell out from my mouth ..
I love that this man had the balls to do his 1000 sub celebration literally less than a week before he hit a million. Sorry bois, we’re not getting that 1 million sub celebration till this man hits a billion
I think he was pretty on schedule....then his channel BLEW UUUUUUP before he could finish his 1000 sub video. It was weird yet entertaining to watch it all happen in a few weeks.
Watched it 10 times and didn't even manage to quote is correctly. I watched it once and noticed. And then watched it a second time to confirm before writing this comment. Big oof.
Had a dream the other day were I was in the apocalypse with Dwight and Jim I still can’t decide if the life threatening pranks were worth it. Also I think I might be watching too much of that show.
Why don't they just make a new home near the waterfall/rivers loud sounds?? That way they don't have to worry about being completely silent all the time and would be relatively safe based on how this reality seems to work.
@@owen8667 You don't have to make a full blown home. Just live in a primitive structure that can be thatched together or supported with wood and fabrics/rope and the like materials. They could have a fire for cooking, potentially an actual food source nearby and could easily create bedding and stuff quietly. Seems plausible enough to me. Given moving the materials would likely be the hardest thing to do but since they can do things like set off fireworks it should be viable.
@@criptin4075 Well, they lived in a farm so they can grow their own food. Even if you said you don't need to build a home, you can't survive harsh weather like thunderstorms and floods without one.
@@solacent At least in the rain they could retreat to their original home. Cold weather and snow would be a beast of its own cause the water sounds would get diminished with freezing conditions. Realistically 99% would stand no chance in this reality in terms of survival.
I'm partially deaf, the hearing aid stuff in the second movie is quite clever because they make really high-pitched sounds when you take them off without them covered
This made me feel like the actual idiot because, yes for some scenes, it bugged me that they could have done things differently but I overlooked so many now that you pointed them out
It's a nice movie, but what bothers me is: - you can have the perfect body armor but still suffer impact damages, so the monsters' exoskeleton shouldn't make them invulnerable. Heavy weaponry should have smashed them regardless. - if feedback noises are a pain in the ass why nobody in the whole world, even by accident, like, at a concert, noticed that? There must have been a concert somewhere somehow in the world at the time of the invasion, right? - their skulls still opens up when they need to hear with attention, this means their insides are exposed. Blast them then. - the hearing ability of these creatures isn't consistent. - if water doesn't trigger them, why the family didn't live near a waterfall? - decoy noises aren't really a thing. Fireworks are an extreme measure, but why not reproduce a waterfall sound in order to trick the monsters?
Thank you, I’m constantly saying so theirs skins bullet proof great their insides are still mush now. I always see them opening up their head pieces too and I’m like fuck ng shoot them.
@@coyraig8332 they can use the old houses planks also the military wouldve won in this movie they have loud stuff like bombs nukes guns and they have money to buy speakers to make it even louder and thers the sirens
“I seriously cannot believe that the human race had enough time and resources to print out mf newspapers, but nobody thought to sensory overload the one sense these creatures rely on the most. I mean, you FLASHBANG PEOPLE” LMAOOOO
@@depressormk1 whyd the kid have to be the one to figure it out. doesnt the military have like sonic sound devices for crowd control. i feel like they should not have wiped out humanity.
bruhhhhhhh lol and if they could plant potatoes and other plants in space like in the mars movie they good exept for water but they have piss so they are good
I keep getting stuck on how these critters triggered an apocalyptic level event. They're fast and strong and hard to kill, if a bullet while they're getting feedback takes them out, every nation's guns pointed at these things would have figured it out well before society collapsed.
i think the society collapsed in a few days or hours within the arrival of the monsters, they had no time to figure out their weakness as their militaries can be wiped in seconds.
Bullets make noise when being shot anyway and when these guys react to sound their head open so shooting the head like 3 times in quick succession would kill them anyway
Yeah your right, so if they can hear like a pin drop in a carpeted room and bullets being fired in a room without hearing protection can make a person go death. The monsters are loosing there primary sense FAST
The guy sacrificed himself because he was going to die anyway. He basically hade his guts ripped out. I don’t think he would’ve survived even if he could’ve diverted the monster a different way
@James Bourne Pretty sure he’s talking about after John got hit into next week and got his guts ripped open. The moment where the monster hit him, it already knew where he was or it wouldn’t have hit him when he swung at it with the axe. After he had been hit, he knew that he was going to die from his wounds anyway so he kept his promise with his wife (protect the kids) and sacrificed himself for the kids. Trust me, I’ve tried to knit pick this scene before and I’ve come to the conclusion that he was a dead man either way
@@china_sickness7005 nope, the monster faced him after he yelled like a dumbass. The logic in movies is like "Hmmm this is too logical, we need to make their decision making skills lower than a 2 year old when it actually matters"
@@china_sickness7005 he was definitely going to bleed out... They didn't have any good way to stop the bleeding and he probably had some internal bleeding aswell. Basically he was a dead man
The old man with a dead wife scene was important for 2 reasons: 1. It meant that there was a "soundwhore" close enough to the farm to hear Emily Blunts character when she steps on the needle, to therefore move the plot forward. And 2. It foreshadows Lumberjack Jim's demise. He witnesses a man sacrficing himself by screaming to be with a loved one in some sort of afterlife bcs he was too late. So that foreshadows Lumberjack Jim's scream later on, in which he screams to go to the afterlife to leave his loved ones so that they can be okay, and survive, bcs he isnt too late. Bonus detial: Lumberjack Jim (Lee) was killed by Emiky Blunts character (Evelyn). It was done in his promise to Emily Blunts character (Evelyn) in the soundproofed room, where he promises he will not let the kids die. She says "we cant let our kids die, if we do, who and what does that make us?" It then pans away from him to another scene, and the next time we see him, he dies (to protect the kids), the question she asked but failed to answer, was answered in front of her on the camera's by the person she asked. "If we CANT save our kids, what does that make us? Selfish" If we can save our kids what does that make us? Dead" Her guilt for letting Beau die meant she also made a promise that cost Lee's life.
Honestly, there is no way their species wouldn't have developed echolocation as well. So the movie's premise is complete nonsense from the first few seconds.
