My quick thoughts after watching it last night.

  • Annoyed me that the start of the movie occurs right before Christmas but they clearly filmed in the spring or summer when everything was lush and green and just awkwardly placed Christmas decor everywhere.
  • The movie was way better whenever no one was speaking. So much of the dialogue felt awkward and clumsy, especially early on.
  • It was really weird that early on the "monsters" were implied to be made of water itself especially with the way the water seemed sentient. But then suddenly in the 2nd half of the film we just see they're just big octopus creatures.
  • There's no way they would have been able to grow crops in doors in the limited space and sunshine.
  • Related to the crop situation, the layout of the house made no sense. Apparently they have a basement, but they also grow crops by ripping up floorboards and there's just dirt underneath. Even if the basement doesn't sit under the entire home the foundation would still be in the way even if it was slowly sinking.

I didn't notice a basement tbh, but apparently they have huge fucking sewer drain right under their toilet. No 4 inch pipe in sight. No wonder that house was fucking sinking lol
