A Quiet Place: Waterfall Plot Hole Explained | A Quiet Place Explained 

CZsWorld Their kids hardly learned to live quietly anyway. They make the stupidest decisions ever not relevant to their characters previous experiences or understandings

My only question about the film was how was the baby born so quickly?😂

Luke Pettifer So quickly and so quietly lol

CZsWorld but the kids could have lived there forever

Luke Pettifer she was probably pregnant before the creatures came

Nicole Esola I noticed that!

it would have been so much better if it would have been the son backing up into the leaking water with the baby in the last scene, rather than the mom, showcasing practical character development

No shit

Nicole Esola Thats a plot whole. How didn't it hear hear heavy as hell breathing less than 5 feet away?

Yes!!

Lol I got angry at the guy next to me eating nacho chips... This movie had everyone on edge

This was the only movie at the cinemas that I've been to where I intentionally did NOT buy food knowing it was mostly a silent movie. I'm already not a fan of eating during quiet scenes in action movies etc. but here we had a 'quiet' movie where any sound the audience would make would be amplified.

I sneezed and the people around me soiled their drawers...lol

Tyler Neely Lol. Geez. I didn't care too much when people were trying to eat (though I wished they were quieter sometimes), but there were people behind me that were openly talking nonstop (not a whisper at all) and repeatedly saying "this isn't even scary" but then saying things that obviously let you know they weren't paying attention to understand what was going on. I had to move up (and I hoped it didn't offend them).

SenorPredo - Minecraft Coasters - Not sure if you meant your comment rudely or if your tone was in jest, but I never said I felt bad for moving (and I wouldn't really call someone a p*ssy over that. That's just unnecessary). I said I hoped I hadn't offended them, because in general, I like to imagine they didn't take it as me being passive aggressive as opposed to just moving. If they were offended, I can't do anything about that and wouldn't feel bad, but I hope they weren't, so their good time wasn't messed up. There was no issue of "be walked on versus stand up for myself". I maturely decided that since I could move up, I would, instead of disrupting someone else's day when I could easily enjoy the movie from somewhere else with no real inconvenience. Why bother doing something that stops other people having fun when I don't have to? Especially since I came to watch a movie- not potentially start a problem with people that I don't know, and don't know the mentality of. For all I know, it could've caused an even bigger problem. Letting myself be "walked on" is something like staying in my seat and missing the entire movie just to not offend them by moving. If there were no other seats, I wouldn't mind asking them to be quiet. Nothing worthwhile comes out of complicating a situation for the same results: watching the movie in peace. [Edit: Cries, lol. I hate editing my comment, but the missing 's' on one word was killing me.]

aaronhaight22 bears,beets,battle star galactica

All I see is corn though, where are the beets???

aaronhaight22 lol

@The Fiddler black bear?

I love the office. Best show ever no question

SAME!

The cup Rapmon throws in the Run MV because there isn’t a deaf character needed for a movie very often lol

The cup Rapmon throws in the Run MV pfffffffffffff really now?

Movie was crap

Life or death bruh. If I’m gonna live anywhere I’d take the risk of having a safer home. I’d take the waterfall no matter how long it would take me to set it up.

Okay Ranger If even one person tried to steal from them they would make noise cause they would have to run in order to not be seen so they be dead before they got to steal

スカーフクリオScarf Kurio Mation - People can run silently, and throughout the movie people have silently run. Plus, they don't necessarily have to run unless things go wrong. The fields are covered with crops, which works to their advantage. Likewise, if trying to steal from within the house, there's ways to hide from people coming (you might have to get creative though). It can be done easily enough if timed and executed right, especially for someone that does it often for their survival.

Shades of American post-apocalyptic paranoia, there...seriously, anyone alive is concentrating on just that, not on trying to nick your cornflakes.

Neil Griffiths - Not sure who you're replying to (not meant rudely. Just not entirely sure). But (in my opinion) I can see people bothering to steal when times are difficult. Not too likely in this scenario, just because the possibility of someone making noise (whether you or whoever you're stealing from) isn't worth it in most cases. I personally wouldn't be too worried about it though, if I was them, seeing how few and far spread people are. [Edit: "I personally wouldn't be worried about anyone stealing from me," to clarify.]

The question is how the hell do they have electricity if a generator would make noise? Power plants make noise. Maybe they have a wind turbine somewhere but its never shown in their wide shots as far as i noticed.

Jeremy Epstein From who? All the other people and animals are dead. If there's nothing alive to carry a disease then you can't contract it.

John Krasinski said that if they have to sneeze they press a pillow against there head to muffle the noise

Dwayne Johnson First off, you're awesome bro. I don't care how bad your movies are I'll watch them just for you til the end of time, you're my no homo bro crush alongside Nathan Fillion (yes I know you're fake). Second: Well I'd still be fucking dead, you know how loud my sneezes are? They're like Hiroshima going off, France can hear them.

+Zefram Cochrane Why did you pretend that he was Dwayne Johnson?

MajorEvan I don't know Evan. Why did you ruin my fucking fun?

Definitely would've went down to Florida maybe somwhere on the beach. Literally mansions across the entire coast. Hurricane proof glass and shutters. Paradise..... looks like theyre in Virginia or somwhere shitty. I know its just a movie but who the hell wants to spend the apocalypse in the woods

Speedy Gunz i agree, also the river was REALLY FUCKING LOUD. They probably will go insane.

Chip Douglas Good luck traveling thousands of miles (assuming they were in New York, where they filmed) on foot with three children and hoping to find supplies along the way while making no noise.

JasonHook9 lol how old are you "thousands of miles" its about 1100 and I was making a joke. If you wanna hear criticism ive got that too. How come the gun shot at the end attracted so many but the fireworks didn't? Also they ended the movie basically at the climax. I really hated how having the baby was the climax of the movie. I didnt care about that at all

Chip Douglas I've seen this answer to your question posted in another comment chain. "think a good explanation for the firework thing is distance. Say the fireworks DID attract the other creatures, but once it was over, the lost track of where the sound came from. That final shotgun blast being that pin-point that they needed to roughly lock on target. Just a thought."-blotsafun

Brilliant lol, i never thought of that 😂😂

Zahir Sookoor they can sneeze into a pillow

they sneezed/coughed/farted into a pillow

Zahir Sookoor I didn't have a problem with that. At first there were so many targets for the creatures that people could get away with making noise. As more and more people disappeared every noise you make would draw more attention. By then you'd figure out how to muffle many sounds. Probably every person that got a cold wound up dead unless you were very careful. I was more worried thinking I'd never make it because of the snoring.

My issue would be loud farts and creaking limbs. I can’t go for long without something audibly popping when I move. You can work around sneezing so long as it isn’t a cold or allergies. Serious coughing would be a death sentence; however.

That’s a lie

楽音 I'm mcfucking dead but that's a mood

MySweetCreationz then you're not a survivor.

Well, that's the thing with survival instinct as an important trait to evolution. The ones that live on adapted to whatever problems came to them and the ones that didn't wanted to live, well, didn't. That makes you think how thankful we should be to have a civilization and live in a place where there are no immediate threats to our safety in a normal life. Our species can afford to provide a safe life to even those who aren't willing to fight for it (not that it always does). But it also account for some psychologic and existentialist problems in society. The easier life gets, the harder it gets to find meaning. When survival rate is low... only to live and to procreate is enough but when 'just living' and procreating isn't such a big deal, it's even frown upon, like nowadays. Thanks for your comment! it made me ponder these things.

I snore. I’m fuq’d.

Just CJ indeed, the younger boy who was killed had a room in the house. The family was living there before the creatures

MsFlamingFlamer thank you

Exactly

Omggg! That makes so much sense. I seriously need to watch this film again. I felt like i wasn't able to fully concentrate because i was too focused on people rummaging through their popcorn and sipping their soft drinks 🙈🙈

Just CJ How do they have power without a generator?

Loved this!

@@BryceEdwardBrown lol!

Team StaBlame I was thinking of that too when I saw it

Well it just had to go thru a wall while against a car just kept destroying the roof and trunk I think a bigger plot hole is how the heck the car was able to go from where it was to perfectly in front of the house just from higher evaluated ground and wouldn't the monster had stopped killing the dad and easily catch up to the car by that time.

SSG Apple yeah that part didn't make sense but like it's strength wasn't consistent. It went from tearing steel to denting an aluminum truck lol

Team StaBlame the creature just wanted to escape the sound at first,he was at full strength to do so because it felt more urgent. The car scene wasnt as urgent so it didnt do full strength

Team StaBlame I will admit that I kind of wondered that too, so I won't try to convince you that that isn't a plot hole, but a few things did come to mind that I would like to point out. One, the creatures are animals. Animals can react in "weird" or "inconsistent" ways sometimes. The way they react to one thing may not be the same way they react to something else. If you look at the way the creature attacked in the silo, both attacking the door and apparently also when leaving the silo, it went claws first. I immediately thought of Genestealers from the Warhammer 40k universe, who can sometimes have a thing called "rending claws" which allow them to practically slice through any kind of metal they want to. On the other hand, when the creature attacked the car it was more of a "blunt force" attack with just it's hands, not it's claws. Second, there could have also been some confusion there too. I'm no expert on sound, but I could guess that just maybe the sound could have been different in/around the car, causing the creature to react differently than it did when people were in more open spaces. Third, the girl's hearing device could have thrown it off, causing to not be as accurate as it usually is. Honestly, in the end I don't know why the creature would have changed it's approach from one instance to the next, it's probably just a plot thing.

Butcher's Blade exactly lmao I don’t understand why people thought to live next to a damn waterfall

People instead of wanting to adapt to the situation would rather opt to live exactly as they were at a higher risk even if it is harder. That sounds dumb.

@@kingquan3826 How the fuck would you build a house near the waterfall? And how far do you live from the nearest waterfall? Also you think you could make it there through night and day without making a soind?

You probably never questioned the fact that they can sprint through crop fields, but as long as there is sand the monster can’t hear their heavy breathing or the crops brushing around them, either………….

I'm sure after it hit the little boy the toy got flung by the impact and the creature had to chase it down and attack it til it stopped making noise. They could have easily escaped at that point. Also it seems to stop searching around after it finds whatever was making the noise.

Yep. as long as the decoy is far enough one can slowly retreat. Base on the movie the creature changed its target many time once there was louder noise happened. Mommy in the bathtub, Mommy and baby to Silo, Daddy to car , Car to Daddy. So no they don't need to find or eliminate first target before launching to the next one?

You've made like..6 comments on this video, jesus.

I think 7 but am not so sure. :D

So what?

That's true 💀💀

jk12324 because if you walk with socks you center more weight in bare foot you would distribute your weight also sock get dirty in sand and dirt

when u wipes ur feet to get in the house u cant wipe dirt and mud from socks...

It’s possible that socks would make you lose grip on slick surfaces like the wood floor causing you to fall and make noise

and you would do the flop

Socks can slip on particular surfaces causing to you fall and possibly injure yourself. Socks also would get ripped to to shreds wearing them here ,there and everywhere. You can also feel the vibrations as you walk with your bare feet. You would be able to feel disturbances and rumbles in the ground through your feet which can alert you to a possible threat before you hear or see it.

silja lin so your saying that they are the only family in the world that hasn’t figured it out? We’re only watching one family and we don’t know if someone has found a weakness because it is now impossible to share information.

@@joerk6723 well judging by the state of humanity literally every military and government couldn’t figure it out

Devina Anindita or even let their deaf daughter wander around outside the house...i mean she wouldnt even know if she accidentally made noise and having an alien behind her

That's not a plot hole, that's just a poor decision

Well, every plothole being discussed here are a bunch of "seemingly" poor decisions though

The family is shown to be religious. They're not just trying to survive, they're trying to live life as normally and faithfully as possible, given the circumstances. Part of that is having a child, even if it's a huge risk. Of course it's not "logical," but then, neither is praying before dinner, or playing a board game, or setting up a headstone for your dead kid at the place he died. It's not about surviving for them, it's about living. As for letting the smallest child walk alone in the back of the group, there is a full three minutes of the movie dedicated to the mom saying, "Why didn't I just carry him, my hands were empty, it's my fault" over and over again. She blamed herself for not thinking ahead. They weren't even three months into the invasion at that point, they probably weren't taking the risks as seriously as they should have. They actually didn't let their deaf daughter wander around; the dad specifically refuses to take the daughter on any excursions or go into his workshop because he thinks she'll make noise. That's one of the main conflicts between them in the movie. The girl even signs to her dad, "I'm not a kid, I won't make any noise." I get the feeling ya'll didn't watch the movie or pay attention to closely. Also you don't know what "plot holes" are.

Fine, religion. Blame it on religion then for them having a child and risking the entire family in a family suicide. I don't know much about their religion, so I am unaware of any prohibition of killing an unborn child in risk of death of another--such as a mother in labor if there were any complications. Usually in here we just abort the child because of health risk being too high--in this case, it is even worse--4 (or 5 counting the dead child) lives were risked for bringing a baby who may not live long anyway because of his crying sound--how long those oxygen tanks could last? 1 months? 2 months? 1 year? And it would take so much longer to ensure a child understand that he cannot speak or make any sound. How long they would have kept him in a box? Anyway, you remind me another strange thing--the boardgame and the unnecessary oil lamp in brightly lit room and the unnecessary accident. It was really bright in the house but they put an oil lamp near the children. Not making sense--but just another additional scene to the movie. But really, I think as a female a mother's instinct would not let her smallest child behind her--with or without monsters. Or at least she would have taken a glance back to make sure that the child followed her. The child was so so far from his family at the time of his death--pointing to neglect. Not taking the risk seriously but already sound-proofing everything, including the whole paths to the city. I only knew that the dad did not let the girl to go into the workshop--I guess it is more on he did not want her daughter to be more fearful rather than just making noise, because he could have accompanied her down there if it was just about noise. The dad did not chase after the deaf girl in the movie and just went on travelling with his son. He did not even know where the hell she went to. His daughter being emotional--had a high probability of doing something stupid but he did not chase her. She said she would not make any noise because she was tired of trying the defective ear piece that her father made for her. She lost hope on trying the ear piece because her father never got it right. She was tired of being hopeful and then having her hope shattered. We all know she still could make sound despite her saying that she would not make any noise--she did not have the capacity to say that with her deafness. It was like many statements that children make but without any ability to do so. "I am not a child, I'm a grown up kind of thing". Fine, we do not know what plot holes are, but at least these things are still illogical--and most of the plot holes discussed here are about those so-called misjudgments after all. I am just adding my two cents.

I love it!

Eduardo Ruiz I think it was irresponsible of them to bring a baby into the world like this. The baby is going to cry and make noise obviously, why would you want to put your whole family in danger like that?! Honestly when I saw she was pregnet I lost interest in them surviving. Even with his explanation it still doesnt make sense to have another child.

Because Evelyn forgot to take her pills.

I thought the same thing at first but then I realized they had all the necessary precautions ready. First off the made a sound proof box with an oxygen mask to put the baby in when it cries. Second they had all those fireworks set up for the birth so the mom could scream. It could have worked out fine it’s just that one of the monsters happened to be there right when she went into labor

pop helpme (********SPOILER ALERT!!! ********) The opening scene is on day 85 (when the youngest kid dies) after that it cuts to day 475 (I don’t remember the exact day but it was definitely in the high 400s) that’s over a year, which means the mom got pregnant well into the outbreak. I think it was implied they had a baby to fill the void of the kid who died.

End of the world what person isn't going to want sex? I don't understand how anyone could think this is a plot hole. Condoms fail. All my friends kids were accidents, my kids are accidents. End of the world and we could all die tomorrow ask what people want to do? Have sex. Abortion is not an option. Honey I am going to shove a hanger up your vagina??? How about build a sound proof room, and if the sound proof room fails we have a box with oxygen to keep the baby quiet is plan B. That is logical. You people must be young or something.

Patch CS:GO Doors 💀

lil bitch got what he deserved

I think going out with kids is training them on how to survive. They made a point of doing that in the movie.

Same :(

Same!

it wouldve been like that if john took jj abrahams offer on creating it into a part of the cloverfield franchise, but he turned it down(obviously)

I understand you being frustrated with that!

sandy fitri but how does the alien move so fast without hitting trees. It can't use echo location because it would've sensed the mom when she was behind the water fall

how isnt the aliens weakness figured out? high pitched sounds..guess what helicopter rotors make, or ricocheting bullets, or even metal being torn up....all are sounds that are painful to even us, humans no way the aliens wouldnt get hurt by that

Uhh, half of those are fake reviews.

Because of fake reviews. This movie is 97% plot hole.lol

Exo blade it’s not high pitched sound in general it’s one specific frequency.

This!

Boomer The Womber yeah when did they mention their names?

They never did but on the back of the dvd cover it says their names. I mean they had to come up with names. Even if nobody mentions it in the (very very short) script.

I know right?!!!

There were solar panels on the barn roof so, most likely, solar and battery.

Underground generators and solar panels

they attacks humans near sounds, they dont attack anything that makes sounds. remember, theyre kinda blind like bats, but they arent dumb

Because the encounter survival rate is probably 10%

This I can't explain haha

Wendigo Dragon what i was thinking too

How do you know they didn't? They overran us in less than 89 days but there could be military that survived with sonic weapons

1. They are companians 2. From a broken pipe 3. I dont know

André Riber Were you watching the movie or playing with your phone? Her laundry bag got caught on the nail and pried the nail up.

1. They probably communicate with each other at some frequency only they hear. 2. The pipe got busted. 3. When the mom was dragging the laundry bag upstairs, it got caught in the nail and she yanked it loose, pulling the nail up with it.

All stupid plot (hole) devices to drive the storyless movie forward

joo moo Name us 5 other films Scifi, horror or action of this year that you claim DO have stories... we’ll wait.

did u not see the creature that ransacked the home when the baby was crying in the underground area? it probs teared that pipe when ruining the home. As for the bridge, easy! they walk in order of noise from loudest to most quiet, the little boy is tiny and has most quiet footsteps so he is at the back, he understands the concept of no talking but I guess he didnt fully understand other sounds and their impact so thats how he died. The reason for loud to be in the front was so that if a creature came nearby from a sound they make, it'd face the order of toughest to weakest, and they wouldnt need to rearrange themselves to protect.

Bri Gita this comment is underrated

Sandro Frias That's not a plot hole. 1. If the movie hadn't explained it it still wouldn't have been a plot hole. People overuse that term. 2. The movie shows how the nail came to be hazardous. Her laundry bag caught on it and she pulled it while pulling her bag free.

jkrenee Maybe you're right about me using the term plot hole inappropriately, but how can her laundry bag pull the nail from the steps sharp point side up? If the laundry bag had pulled the nail from the step wouldn't we had seen the nail head pulled up as well? Looks to be a mistake. Like I said earlier a little nitpicking to an amazing movie.

Sandro Frias I feel like you should re-watch that scene

jkrenee I guess I'm not the only one asking about this nail thing: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5acb7c2ae4b09d0a1195e376/amp

jkrenee but it was sticking out the side before that

diluteduk you win the stupidest comment of the year congratulations.

s desu That’s why it’s called science fiction. Science in fiction.

So what I should just turn my brain off while watching a movie? I love intelligent movies. For me movies are not a sleeping background sorry. I don't need this explained there being plenty of obvious reasons why this is just one of the many plot holes this movie has.

There is no such thing as critical thinking. It's called just thinking.

s desu Actually that’s Prima facie display of the antithesis of critical thinking. Again, that’s why it’s called SCIENCE fiction dullard. Hmm. Movies like this usually become classics. You’ve gotta be trolling, because otherwise that would be a dense thing to say. The films that survive the decades are like this. Alien, Predator, The Thing. The poorly written cgi feat films that formulate the mainstay of this era will be that which is forgotten. Guaranteed.

ManiacMadness11 they probably know the sound of wind, trees, and water.

Watch the movie. The monsters hate sound so they find it and destroy it. So obviously they went to the water fall tried to destroy it couldn't and moved on. He pointed out they kill but don't eat what they kill. The main object is to end the sound and move on.

They figured out that the sound wasn’t a living thing.

SuperFunnyGuy Not true, it's stated in the movie that any sound can attract them thus they are irritated by all noise. The high frequency just hurts them the most to the point of being unbearable.

ManiacMadness11 They probaly knew it was pointless to attack the water and just stayed away from it

Jon Rios which is pretty useless. All they need is a system they can operate to distract the creature away to buy them sometime. Just like regular fire alarm which they can place the alarm far away (I would line it out at least 1 mile away) from the house .

The red lights is to show that the baby is coming and get them to where they need to be to execute their plan of birthing it without drawing attention from the creatures. Fireworks were set up to be louder than her screams. a simple alarm would get destroyed in minutes. Have you seen how fast those things move?

What am talking about is a fail safe system in case something went wrong and that creature is breach the parameter . People with the right mind should put that system in place to distract the creature away from your base.which they have none. ps. Yep I see it that is why I would set 10 -20 alarms around the area. which when ever it take one down also give me a clue that which direction and where they are going or coming.

mikexhotmail First of all they're too fast too keep track of. They have security cameras around their parameters to try to pin point if any are in their area at the moment. However those things seem to hear from very far away and traverse the distance necessary under minutes. They will breach their parameters no matter what which is why they always have to be quiet even at home. Going off miles in separate directions to set up elaborate alarm systems isn't practical when they have to move in silence and make sure they get home before dark. It's similar to the whole building a base by the waterfall situation. They have to do everything while considering the creatures lurking about. And of course Lee would be the only one truly capable of doing so as his wife was pregnant and his kids being one is deaf and the other very timid.

Not making noise is what follower think . How to flee if you making noise is what leader think. since at the end of the day anyone will unintentionally make a noise (those kid did when they played monopoly) and first thing for people with the right mind want to do is finding a way to distract the creature away from your location and relocation......you and many people here don't agree....which to me really illogical.

Concepcion30 The water pouring from the pipes probably moved the mattress a bit, and then the creature heard the noise of the water falling and went down to check it out.

Darrell G okay, that makes sense, I suppose we are to assume that the creature crashed into the pipes in the first place which caused them to leak

But aren't the creatures use to the sound of water falls and rivers I don't think it would have any interest in looking down there

Concepcion30 yeah it probably happened while it was looking for the baby crying and went crazy hitting everything, but I don't get how it didn't move the mattress

I wss a bit confused as to how it got down there when I was watching as well, but I assumed I must have just missed something.

it started day 89, then jumped to what day 462? so yea doesn't make any sense, one of the dumb plot holes, and i really thought this movie was gonna be an all time great. maybe next time

I'm sure they didn't intentionally get pregnant. The vast majority of people don't, and it's not like they could just go to planned parenthood or anything.

Evelyn ran out of Yasmin.

pop helpme but she was pregnant up to day 467 or whatever the last day was, so 280 before that would have still been after the beginning scene. Also I’m not chiding them for keeping it, just for deciding to get their nasty on during a time they have to make as little noise as possible

pop helpme kinda just like “keep it in your pants Krasinski, there are monsters.”

This is a good alternative!

lonely mimikyu Sucka you want them kids to see how they was created and get traumatized?

It would've been risky the way back home, the baby could cry and the mother would be very weak after giving birth

Haha

My question is how the fuck do you silently gather crops. Wouldn't that shit totally attract an alien? They must use a lot of fireworks.

Still can't build a house by the river due to the noise. Why bother when you already have an established home. You'd get killed. Not a plot hole.

Gathering crops doesn't make a lot of noise. Especially if you pick them slowly one by one. Not a plot hole.

Cooper Bane Oh I'm not saying it's a plot hole, I'm sure if they stockpile those fireworks and then set them off they can buy a good while to go harvest some corn. I just highly doubt you can do it without making noise. Think about it dude, the stalks are so brittle, just brushing them is going to be loud. This is why I like to imagine the thing they go looking for first on their trips is fireworks.

Wind blows corn stalks around, which would make a fair bit of natural noise on its own. If they harvested only on stormy days, the sounds of harvesting would be muffled by all the other noise, just like with the river.

That I can't debunk!

It's implied the initial invasion happened very fast, like within a matter of weeks, if that. The beginning of the movie isn't even three months into it, and nearly everyone is already dead. They didn't know the monsters hunted by sound immediately, either. One of the final newspapers says, "It's sound, they can hear you" as if it's a big revelation. So after they finally figured out HOW the monsters were hunting, they probably didn't have much time to figure out a weakness before most of the populace was dead, or the ability to spread the word once they did figure it out. Considering the film only follows this one family the entire time, I'm sure other people have realized it and weaponized it, but that doesn't mean they're able to share that with a rural farm community that they don't even know exists.

In day 84 the world was pretty much already turned upside down... i don't think they had time to actually experiment.

Maybe because the tiniest sound attracts this monsters. Who would think they are attracted to sound so I should probably try using sound as a weakness, nothing can possibly go wrong, I’ll just risk everything for this experiment and hope that their weakness is sound

Killa-King Kong The suckers probaly know they committing alien suicide, or their body is armored so if they attack themselves it would not do crap

They HATE noise . The Aliens wish to destroy all noise so they avoid the water , also it is proved that they only destroy noise to please them they do not eat the body’s of their kills

Agreed!

K1ttynose cause the kids in the car were going to die

K1ttynose and let his kids die? like what even is this question

He didn't even have to die. Just throw something somewhere. Then hide. Stay quiet. Then throw something again.

yep. I have plenty of idea how to create a combination of noise all over the place to make it busy all day all night with out finding the actual source :D

mikexhotmail you do realize that no house can be made while you build these things? I mean I respect your ideas and all, but it’s hard to get much of anything done when the slightest noise you make will be your undoing. And setting up all these traps you speak of would not take one simple day. You gotta think about the situation these people are in.

Yup but Hey I just share my idea that there still plenty of way to manage that creature . You can put 100 alarms clock in to the street storm drain, where the creature 100% can't reach? Also many thing that require to make some noise can be done right next to the water fall. They have plenty of battery power tool in the store that they can bring to their work shop at the water fall.

You clearly think you're very clever with your multitude of "why didn't they just do (insert inane idea here)" suggestions, but I assure you that you're not.

John Doe building it would originally attract the aliens and I'm guessing it would take a while before they deemed it as natural or a background noise

That's not a plot hole. The entire movie follows this singular, rural farm family. It doesn't show what has happened all over the world. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that different militaries figured out the frequency weakness and weaponized it, but that this off-the-grid family had no way to hear about it.

+Do Geese See God They weren't off the grid entirely. The dad had that radio where he had been sending out SOS messages on a bunch of different frequencies, and it looked like all the ones he tested had no response.

Well... They did survive crash-landing on a planet.

No, larger ordinance couldn’t pierce the monster armor. Nothing can.

Let me just blow my deer whistle and get torn to shreds 10 seconds later, creating sound isn't without it's share of risk and if someone were to get close how would anyone else know? They'd be dead because you can't aptly test something with only truly one try without risking your life in this environment a shot-gun blast brought the monsters in droves to them, furthermore if they could survive the deathly cold temperatures of space, survive literally crashing into the earths crust what in your right mind do you think a bullet would do? or any large explosive for the matter. The frequency in the movie is one found by random chance and could be one of many, it wouldn't be easy to replicate either, since they only have one model. It's also a self contained story as well with a family and 1 farm that is all.

John Robertson Yeah and then they accidentally hit ya with THEY BIG OL HANDS and probaly make yo skeleton a costume

Dane Speyer 😂 😂 😂

They have impenetrable armor how would that trap work? Did you not watch the movie? The only way to expose the IMPENETRABLE armor was a specific frequency that was discovered by a fluke.

Impenetrable to fire? The trap could involve dousing them with oil or gas and lighting them on fire.

That isn't a plot hole considering how powerful these creatures are. Your trap would be child's play to them. Sorry pal

Really? And how do you know? Just because? Somehow these creatures are immune to fire as well? Where'd you find that out?

TheRumblewagon if the creature can survive gun shots and EXPLOSIVES unscathed, I think fire and gasoline are child’s play.
