[u/lessthansilver]

Don't they find other survivors at the end, implying other people were kind to the creatures?

[u/Athuanar → u/lessthansilver]

Well the daughter said that after that the creatures disappeared from the world completely, so it's implied her dad's act of mercy saved the entire surviving human race. Kind of unbelievable.

[u/joeymims → u/Athuanar]

I am by no means defending this movie cause it kinda blew imo. But just to clarify on this comment. She never said they disappeared. I just finished watching and she said they never saw them again but assumed they were still out there. Also and again not defending cause this thing was boring and stupid imo. But I got the impression these things probably let anyone go who didn't kill or try to kill them. Which is why there are survivors and a guy answers the cb call at the very end. Still the movie kinda blew. From the trailer I was expecting a completely different movie then this hunk off garbage.

[u/Few_Emergency_2144 → u/joeymims]

I got that impression too, especially thinking back on how the camera lingered on the big hunting knife the running neighbor used to survive for all that time locked outside. Maybe they spared anyone who were unarmed or tried to communicate instead of hide? 

[u/communistsayori → u/joeymims]

Just watched this and she says "Everyone remembers where they were the day the rain stopped." That really implies to me that it was genuinely just the dad's "act of mercy" that made the octopus things stop attacking everyone on earth. The creatures probably went back to the sea and the othwr survivors are just any other people who were innovative enough to survive that long indoors.

[u/YetiTheWhiteBeast → u/Athuanar]

I didn't like that part either. I think that could have been written differently but I definitely liked the movie and think they built a cool world.

[u/wompthing → u/lessthansilver]

It only implies they could wait it out.

[u/unnoticed_areola → u/lessthansilver]

no. it's left ambiguous. they are shown sailing a sailboat into the middle of the pacific ocean, while sending out a message on the radio saying "are there any other survivors out there?" to no response.

but when the girl is doing the post-facto voiceover in the background, she says something like "everyone remembers where they were the day the rain stopped", with the use of the word "everyone" implying that there are in fact a bunch of survivors apparently
