Oh, FFS (spoilers)

I'm not going to say I didn't like this movie. I did. I liked the performances. I liked the way they built up tension. I liked a lot of things. I even bought what they were selling me in the beginning.

But in all this time, with all the precautions they've learn to take, with all the research they've done (finding out how many monsters there are, finding out their habits, puzzling over how to kill them, etc.), it never occurred to them to try a simple shotgun to the face?

Why did they have the guns, then?

The entire sequence of events in the movie never even had to occur. I've hardly ever felt so cheated by a story.

Armor plated creatures...and headline on one of the newspapers hanging in his workshop said “They’re Indestructible” on it. Probably the reason the military couldn’t stop them.

Although, I agree with you that it’s unrealistic to think that military scientists wouldn’t have figured out by then that creatures who rely almost solely on super-human hearing as their primary sense, wouldn’t be vulnerable to sonic or stereo distortion as a weapon against them.

That’s why the shotgun worked on the creature attacking them, it’s armor plating separated due to the painful high pitch feedback created by the daughter’s modified hearing aid.
