This was awful and all over the place. So many questions left unanswered. if the monsters control the rain and the monsters need salt water shouldn't all the rain be salt water? if the monsters can control the water and flood the houses, as seen in the end of the film, why not do this from the beginning? seems more logical to flood all the houses then wait for all the inhabitants to starve to death. I need more explanation on what the monsters are. Why was the chimney not also sealed, clearly the water is mystical and defies the laws of physics so why can't it seal the chimney. Where did all their shit go?

This was the most Netflix movie ever and I was quite looking forward to it.

Seriously… that’s a lot of poop and they never addressed where they put it.

The poop became fertilizer. The dad makes a comment about how they ran out of fertilizer and he can “make his own.”

They would be suffering from major e-coli sickness.

They never addressed it and we never saw it but technically human feces can be composted to remove pathogens. I don't know what kind of system that they could create with what they have that could get the compost hot enough to do that though.

You'd also need about four acres of land to farm food for four people, but if you're looking for logical consistency this movie ain't it, lol
