They'd have to stay in that little hole under the mattress for days on end, if the human cough and sneeze is enough to attract the monsters! I think this alone would've signalled the end of the human species.
Yes, flatulence also would be a problem.
shareA damn sneeze could kill ya!
shareIf you feel a sneeze coming, maybe you could muffle the sound like sneezing into something, like a pillow or tissue or something. I'm sure they would have a way to muffle it somehow. One of the things I liked most about the movie is it shows the meticulous effort of trying to stay alive. Feels like the family has practiced these things through great practice.
Have a short review of this one here if anyone is interested-https://youtu.be/k42HUCd0zzM
I was thinking more of coughs. I can make my sneezes very quiet indeed, but coughs for me are louder, they need to be to be effective.
I was thinking sneezing while out and about could kill you. I'm great at muffling them, but it still can be heard, then there's my friend who never sneezes just once. It's always at least 5 sneezes in a row maybe more. All that stress of keeping quiet would kill me alone.
shareSneezing can be prevented but coughing not so much. I've had coughing fits and can't keep quiet when doing it.
shareActually snoring would have been a bigger issue.... Not sure how the daughter falls asleep out in the open many times
shareI was thinking the same thing and then thought the mind/body would control your breathing while asleep as a "survival mechanism."
Admittedly, I know very little about snoring lol
Yes, this movie requires some serious suspension of disbelief.
shareAgreed. Though I suppose if they all lived next to the waterfalls, they might be able to survive - but seriously, this is a horrible premise for a film.
You have blind creatures who kill anything that moves.
Unless they are literally indestructible, like the creature in 'Life', it should be easy to make a trap for them with loud speakers - and use a nuke or something.
I suppose, however - that this film may occur in an alternative reality where our means of defense are non-existent. Even then, what about the small animals roaming around? How is it that they've managed to survive for so long, given just how these creatures destroy anything that makes a peek sound?
And wait, now that I've just finished watching this film, it turns out these creatures are not indestructible - how are they around at all? Dumb, dumb, dumb premise.
What if someone went to pee? Or flushed the toilet?
shareI am sure many people were killed because of just that.
shareYour cough wouldn't last long.
shareSuspension of disbelief has to be heightened for this film but if this were the case I bet we as humans would find ways to survive. My biggest takeaway from this film is that children will always be little a-holes no matter the situation lol.
