Except that after the creatures investigated that sound, they would have discovered it was nothing and probably returned to the daughter.
Yes. What made this movie different from your average horror movie was the kid dying in the first few minutes, and then the father dying in the end just before they discover the audio defense. In most horror movies, the kid would have done something dumb, and the father would have dramatically saved him. It's rare kids are killed off. Then at the very end, he sacrifices himself for his kids. Any axe-throwing would have been pretty cheesy considering those things wiped out the Earth's population.
sharethe monster was already distracted by the axe. The self-sacrifice was completely unnecessary.
