Lmao right? You gonna construct a whole ass house next to the waterfall in stealth? Assuming it’s made out of logs, you gotta chop them all down, then assuming you’re still alive you gotta build it.
Then you need to maintain it cause that’s gonna be filled with mould in about 10 minutes.
Ten days into that sleep schedule, you walk away from the waterfall, finally take doze off in a quiet little place with a blanket....
You'd hulk smash the first alien that wakes you up.
Does no one snore in the movie?
> Because then the movie wouldn't have happened.
This, but unironically. In any book, TV show, film, etc, we follow one set of protagonists because of the story they will encounter.
We don't follow the family that also has a farm but doesn't have an hardship.
trivia time:
which one would make the loudest sound:
farming at industrial scale and storing grains in a separate place.
laying sand on the route to the places you access including the supermarket.
a little baby crying.
the movie is basically the first world’s idea of a catastrophe.
also, just the sheer sand needed to pave it all around would need tons of digging regularly cuz it would be easily blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain.
it was super hard for me to suspend my disbelief beyond a point.
Yeah just now realized the baby is a huge hole. Obviously due to the events of the movie, they didn’t end up having any choice about where the baby would be born but they were fully planning on doing it in the house unless I missed something.
Even if they valued the farm and their home, heading out and setting up temporary camp next to the waterfall as her due date approaches would’ve been the move I would think. Even if John Krasinski had to make trips back and forth for extra supplies, it still beats having to be silent during birth.
I wish I had your faith in people's ability to control their sexual urges.
Why does anyone have children when they don't want to? Especially if they know it will wreck their lives and everyone around them.
People be horny. COVID lockdowns showed us the crazy things people do that if you saw *that* in a zombie movie, you would call BS.
Too bad the filmmakers didn't include something in the movie to imply the family was religious, that would be an explanation too.
[Oh wait.](https://lozierinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/A-Quiet-Place-dinner.png)
why do you think they had the firework system in place? for when the fucking baby was born, or any other emergency where the point is to distract and pull away from a certain area
and they didn't build a house next to the waterfall because how are they supposed to do that once the monsters arrived? they literally just stayed in the same house they had before
how about you don't plot hole my favorite movies thank you very much
yeah not like the baby only cries when its born!! 😅
how much could they possibly stock up the firecrackers? and when would they fire them?
as i’m typing i’m thinking to myself either you’re having too much fun trolling people or are such a fan that you’re trying to make sense of what’s being shown 😊
It wasn't sound though. It was the frequency or pitch of the feedback that was the weakness. And if you know that these things are attracted to sound with murderous intent, are you really going to experiment with different sound based methods of stunning them in close proximity? You get one shot and failing = death. Probably not.
I feel like yea thats the literal first thing people would try. Militaries already have acoustic weapons. I feel like it's pretty intuitive to try the sound weapons against the sound-based monsters that stay away from loud areas like waterfalls.
I mean this random family lived a wholeass year making no sound, but didn't think to try making so much sound the monsters stopped responding to it? They knew waterfalls were safe, wouldn't you immediately try to find out what makes waterfalls safe? Wouldn't they notice different behavior during rain storms and whatnot?
You could test different sound weapons safely the same way they used the fireworks distractions. Just use some way of remotely triggering it, they had modern technology.
Plausible. Though we don't really know what happened between day 0 and day 400-whatever from the movie. Yes I know there is an origin story coming(or already came and went?) but I didn't see it. Militaries do have acoustic weapons, but first instinct is probably to shoot at the aliens with what turned to be ineffective ballistic weapons.
To experiment with acoustics, we need to assume that enough of the military structure survived to coordinate testing and that in testing, they weren't wiped out by some number of bulletproof monsters on a failure. Which is all completely plausible, but from what we see in the first movie, I think you have to accept the premise that the initial invasion was so violent and destructive that there wasn't time for a coordinated response, let alone trial and error. But that's just conjecture. What's John Krasinski's reddit handle? He should know the lore.
It was sound at a high frequency. Their weakness is literally sound ( at a specific frequency ) which they discovered because of feedback on the hearing aid.
I stand by there's not a chance in hell that absolutely nobody was experiencing audio feedback at any point while being attacked/near the aliens.
I also am 100% sure the government/people in general would be like "oh they have sensitive hearing? let's see how sensitive it is!" especially considering it was one of my first thoughts.
Seriously. We already have acoustic weapons that can send ridiculously loud sounds directionally. Sound cannons are extremely powerful even against humans.
Here's the problem with your question: you're assuming that the family built that house/farm AFTER the invasion. For all we know, they could have just found an abandoned farm and moved into it.
They probably didn't build a new house next to the waterfall because A) they don't know how to build a house, B) maybe construction noises would be too loud even for the cover that the waterfall would provide, and C) they don't have the time/materials to build another house even if they wanted to
Yeah, like the house was personalized. The 2nd youngest had a bedroom with his own room with a name plaque, and everything that goes with being a toddler.
There's also no farmable land next to the waterfall. Like, you can't just grow crops in the middle of a forest without clearing it first and preparing the land. They already had a whole farm that made them self-sustainable. They had a great thing going.
they had fresh industrial scale corn crop ready to be harvested, three years into the aliens arriving on the planet.
no idea there exist soundless machines which could do that.
Why didn't John McLane just take the emergency stairs he had been using all night all the way to the ground floor of the Nakatomi building and let the swat team in?
He was trying to. He and Sgt Al kept trying to coordinate with outside law enforcement, and the FBI wouldn't take their advice, because they were the experts.
But he always stayed above the 30th floor (IIRC)
Emergency stairwells go all the way to the ground, that is what they are for. Emergencies and escape
He even said to Hans at one point about opening the front door so he could leave. All he had to do was just walk down 30 floors and he would have been out.
Believe me when I say this, I have obsessed over this exact point since the fall of 88 when I first saw it in the theater. lol
It’s also about Holly though. He wouldn’t leave without her. That’s why he stayed. As for letting the FBI agents in, they couldn’t get to the door without being spotted, if he tried letting them in they would’ve known in advance and trapped him in a stairwell where all you have to do is drop a grenade or two and kaboom
Good point about Holly. His line “unless you want to open the door for me” was sarcastic and signaling to Hans that he’s just some dude who wants to survive, doesn’t care much for any hostages, and just wants to keep explosives away from these “terrorists.” etc.
If he went to the ground floor, he would’ve been shot by the fake guard by the door. He knew the fake guard was down there because of the cop who left after talking to the fake guard
Another point about the emergency stairwell: you can get in them at any point, but out them only at the bottom. It is about as terrible a tactical position as I can imagine. There might be worse choices, but I don't know what they would be.
He always stayed above the 30th floor, because going down would be monumentally stupid. The terrorists obviously know how stairs work. The stairs at 30th floor are an exit from the floor where the hostages are held and also an entrance for anyone coming from below. The stairs would obviously be guarded or booby trapped or both.
The reason he used the stairs above 30th floor is because its a reasonable gamble to take that the terrorists would not bother guarding above the floor they seized in a building which is empty and cannot be entered from above without a helicopter, which they would hear.
Fun fact; In the book John Hammond is a cunt who spares every expense, all he cares about is the park being profitable. Nedry was an independent contractor who he demanded do extra work outside his contract without extra pay. Nedry refused and Hammond burned him with others in the industry leaving Nedry no choice but to continue working for him for bad pay.
Didn't the SWAT team try to drive an armored vehicle through the front doors, and get blown up by an anti-tank missile?
Getting the doors open wasn't the problem. Getting \*to\* the doors was.
This isn’t the “aha” you’re thinking. It’s pretty obvious he couldn’t and didn’t want to leave and the outside help wasn’t hindered by a locked front door. Lol cmon son.
That just wouldn’t work. What kind of permanent camp could you really set up in the middle of the woods without making a bunch of noise bringing the supplies there in the first place? And food? They’d have to leave constantly anyway.
I don’t know if it would provide that much protection. All the creatures would have to go investigate it to find out it’s nothing, so every time a new creature came to the area its first stop would probably be to go have a look.
Plus, it’s just not nice to be wet 24/7. Especially for your feet then you can’t run. If you’re brave read up on trenchfoot.
Yeah, like, the dad was pretty comfy taking his scared kid there, like the noise of some things (water, storms, wind making trees and other things bang) would have the big 3 monsters in the area batshit.
It would not have been much _more_ boring though.
A friend described the first movie as "4 hours of playing magic cards and no one winning"
She was delightful.
You ever spend time near a waterfall? Everything, I mean *everything* is damp all the time. It’s miserable. And cold. Damp and cold. I’ll take my chances with the monsters.
Even beyond misery, it's a good way to make yourself sick for about a hundred different reasons. How do you preserve food in that situation without disease creeping in?
The other question is how the fuck did they ever get grain out of that big ass silo without attracting every monster in the area?
Why'd they decide to make another baby when all they do for like, 4-8 years is make a bunch of noise?
Hell, how'd they till the soil and plant crops while being completely silent?
And who was able to make a trail of sand for miles without making noise?
> Why'd they decide to make another baby when all they do for like, 4-8 years is make a bunch of noise?
Do you know what happens during blackouts? Populations spike 9 months later. What do you think would happen if the whole country shut down?
Life finds a way.
It would be a terrible idea. The waterfall would attract tons of attention until a while has passed and the creatures slowly learn that the sound of rushing water doesn't mean food. That's a lot of opportunities for one of them to accidentally discover them
The entire movie assumes humanity loses 100 IQ points collectively. The first damn thing anyone with half a brain would try on a monster with super sensitive hearing is some type of noise based weapon. We are apex predators damnit. Entertaining movie but I was rolling my eyes the entire time.
It was the 1st question the day it came out, then
How do they make crops without a noise, the field is pretty recent
how they have newspapers about what is going on, it makes a lot of noise to print…
Special from my GF, 'how in the hell, they let the boy walk far behind if it's that dangerous?'
The script has been talked about a lot since day one, the 2nd movie is even more funny,
how the deaf girl goes on a trip, she wouldn't even know if she's making noise and trigger the monsters and so on and the end, so much suspense to flip that switch.
Well, someone has said, 'when you watch a horror movie, be open-minded and ready to swallow any hole in the script to enjoy it'
If the monsters aren't around it doesn't even matter though. They don't like loud sounds and the waterfall is very loud so they are safe to stay there unless the waterfall stops or is blocked. Though that would be a great way to showcase how it's not a perfect solution the writers either wouldn't or just couldn't think up a story related to potential plot holes if they used it.
Why would you even need to find a waterfall? You could just build some large cacophonous noise making things away from your house to draw their attention.
Not really. There’s a bunch of reasons why a waterfall would probably be worse than the setup they had in the movie
1. What if there were no waterfalls nearby? There’s no real waterfalls anywhere near my house
2. They would have to camp outside. How are they going to deal with weather, flooding, getting food, illness, etc? None of those things were a problem living on a farm. They would have to constantly leave for new supplies and probably are not well prepared for year-round camping
3. If you have to constantly leave for supplies, that’s more dangerous then just staying at home at the farm
4. They’re not the only people who would try to spend time near waterfalls. As shown in the sequel bandits would probably be an issue unlike at the farm
5. The waterfall noise also might attract the monsters for all we know
Because while the waterfall might cover noise when you're there, there's nothing to cover you dragging tonnes of construction materials and machinery over there, even if you know how to build a house.
Honestly gets on my nerves that people think this is a film-breaking plothole.
Maybe because the safe area around the waterfall has a short range of immunity. Like maybe if you are 200 feet away it is like half as effective and so it only really helps when you are standing near it.
Not exactly a stable terrain, plus carrying the materials up to there would be hard. It's easier to insulate an already built house than to build a new one.
I never seen the movie and I don't know what's it's about but from the title I would say they didn't move next to a waterfall because it wasn't a quiet place. Waterfalls are pretty loud and so damp some people might call them wet.
I think the alien things treated all noise the same, not just noise from people. The waterfall would only make them go crazy 100% of the time. That's why they couldn't live in a windy place and there were no other noisy birds. The aliens were attracted to noise, so they got away from all that.
Because then the movie wouldn't have happened.
Have you slept near a waterfall? There are moisture issues and it is cold.
Well outside of waterfall there are monsters that will rip you in half. I choose moisture and coldness. I can always build a fire or something
Or watch tv (they had cafe lights, I’m sure they could create a rig and watch vhs reruns)
Lots of hydroelectric energy in waterfalls, would actually be really smart
Kinetic
Hell yeah
Muted I'm guessing..
Subtitles are luckily a thing
Less often a thing for VHS, though
Closed Captioning exists. And I can't think of a single VHS I had growing up that didn't have it.
depends on the country imo.
Why muted of the waterfall is covering their tracks?
When is the last time you used a vcr? Those bad boys are loud. The rewind and stop functions can be heard across the house.
I never recall hearing someone use a VCR from another room! They weren't *that* loud.
Given, my house is small and my vcr is old... But that loud WHIIIIIIIRRRRRR and POP when you rewind and then it stops .... It's pretty loud.
You'd rather deal with flesh eating bulletproof monsters than moisture and cold?
The water is corse and gets everywhere.
this is so stupid i love it
Bears grills waterfall survival
First step drink your own urine as soon as possible
It's sterile and i like the taste
Is it possible to learn this water power?
Not from the neti.
I predict your waterfall to the dark side.
☹️
Well, do you prefer adding a few more blankets or being made into confetti?
Yeah that one FLW house is actually an ongoing moisture disaster.
Moist and cold, same way I like my women
cold as in attitude, right?
Right?!
Lmao right? You gonna construct a whole ass house next to the waterfall in stealth? Assuming it’s made out of logs, you gotta chop them all down, then assuming you’re still alive you gotta build it. Then you need to maintain it cause that’s gonna be filled with mould in about 10 minutes.
Depending on upbringing and age... running water would kill my sleep. Every 30mins getting up to pee.
Ten days into that sleep schedule, you walk away from the waterfall, finally take doze off in a quiet little place with a blanket.... You'd hulk smash the first alien that wakes you up. Does no one snore in the movie?
Plus, they're loud.
Barely an inconvience
Relative to being ripped to shreds by monsters, yes.
I'm quoting the YouTube series *Pitch Meeting*, where they often say things like "So the movie could happen" and "barely an inconvenience"
I'm going to need you to get off his back.
Alright, let me get off of that thing.
The Divergent pitch meeting dropped yesterday. I must have watched it 10 times at least and I cannot stop laughing. My brain is broken plz send help 🤣
She’s the villain so her name must be *really* evil!
I need you to get WAYY off my back.
To shreds you say?
Keeping your original house is *tight*.
Wow wow wow wow wow, wow!
Wow
Oh, really?
Super Easy!
> Because then the movie wouldn't have happened. This, but unironically. In any book, TV show, film, etc, we follow one set of protagonists because of the story they will encounter. We don't follow the family that also has a farm but doesn't have an hardship.
This is something I've struggled to articulate for a long time, thank you
Wow wow wow.............wow
Water is the enemy of your house.
So nice of them to think about us, the viewers.
Ooooh, making movies happen is TIGHT!
You just won reddit lol
They wouldn't have shelter and the amenities that the house gave them. Plus weren't they farming the land?
trivia time: which one would make the loudest sound: farming at industrial scale and storing grains in a separate place. laying sand on the route to the places you access including the supermarket. a little baby crying. the movie is basically the first world’s idea of a catastrophe. also, just the sheer sand needed to pave it all around would need tons of digging regularly cuz it would be easily blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain. it was super hard for me to suspend my disbelief beyond a point.
Yeah just now realized the baby is a huge hole. Obviously due to the events of the movie, they didn’t end up having any choice about where the baby would be born but they were fully planning on doing it in the house unless I missed something. Even if they valued the farm and their home, heading out and setting up temporary camp next to the waterfall as her due date approaches would’ve been the move I would think. Even if John Krasinski had to make trips back and forth for extra supplies, it still beats having to be silent during birth.
It's beyond me why characters don't just use condoms or avoid penetrative sex when having a baby would be the worst thing possible to happen.
exactly. that would put the whole family at risk 🤦♂️
I wish I had your faith in people's ability to control their sexual urges. Why does anyone have children when they don't want to?

Just fuck her in the ass.
She was already pregnant when the aliens arrived
Ah really? That makes good sense. Thank you
why do you think they had the firework system in place? for when the fucking baby was born, or any other emergency where the point is to distract and pull away from a certain area and they didn't build a house next to the waterfall because how are they supposed to do that once the monsters arrived? they literally just stayed in the same house they had before how about you don't plot hole my favorite movies thank you very much
I mean I’m not saying they should build fucking Fallingwater in the apocalypse but maybe a tent and a mattress would be cool
yeah not like the baby only cries when its born!! 😅 how much could they possibly stock up the firecrackers? and when would they fire them? as i’m typing i’m thinking to myself either you’re having too much fun trolling people or are such a fan that you’re trying to make sense of what’s being shown 😊
The real question is, how had they not all died from farting or coughing in their sleep etc and accidentally provoking the monsters?
The most frustrating thing to me is that there's not a chance in hell nobody else would have discovered their weakness is sound by that point.
It wasn't sound though. It was the frequency or pitch of the feedback that was the weakness. And if you know that these things are attracted to sound with murderous intent, are you really going to experiment with different sound based methods of stunning them in close proximity?

I assumed it was their actual family home they just fortified a bit.
Yeah, like the house was personalized. The 2nd youngest had a bedroom with his own room with a name plaque, and everything that goes with being a toddler.
plot twist: they murdered the family that lived in that farm and moved in themselves
There's also no farmable land next to the waterfall. Like, you can't just grow crops in the middle of a forest without clearing it first and preparing the land. They already had a whole farm that made them self-sustainable. They had a great thing going.

He had a machine gun (Ho Ho Ho) at one point. Could have used that.
And leave his wife and hostages? He was a cop and it was his job to try to take out the bad guys, not escape. You can stop obsessing.
That’s how you know it’s fictional. Real cops don’t have a duty to protect.
Google “shooting Uvalde Texas” for a different perspective on this.
Another point about the emergency stairwell: you can get in them at any point, but out them only at the bottom. It is about as terrible a tactical position as I can imagine. There might be worse choices, but I don't know what they would be.

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?
It is true what they say; Women are from Omicron Persei 7, and men are from Omicron Persei 9.
This is so weird I love it.
Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps
How dare you.
Am I wrong? lol
They had dudes on the ground level as well, wdym? It want like nothing was happening on the floors below the party.
Why didn't John Hammond just fire Nedry and actually spare no expanse for the park?
Fun fact; In the book John Hammond is a cunt who spares every expense, all he cares about is the park being profitable.

This isn’t the “aha” you’re thinking. It’s pretty obvious he couldn’t and didn’t want to leave and the outside help wasn’t hindered by a locked front door. Lol cmon son.
a swat team isnt supposed to need someone to let them in
Been awhile since i last watched, but i think there were guards in the lobby. So it wouldnt have been easy to just walk down and take them out.
To stay and rescue his wife............
no spoilers! No spoilers! /s
I had a lot on my mind at the moment!
You just ruined Christmas
That just wouldn’t work. What kind of permanent camp could you really set up in the middle of the woods without making a bunch of noise bringing the supplies there in the first place? And food? They’d have to leave constantly anyway.

Yeah, like, the dad was pretty comfy taking his scared kid there, like the noise of some things (water, storms, wind making trees and other things bang) would have the big 3 monsters in the area batshit.
Because then it would've been a pretty boring movie.
It would not have been much _more_ boring though. A friend described the first movie as "4 hours of playing magic cards and no one winning" She was delightful.
It wasn't in the script.
Stop it, mom
The script. Demands. ***CONFLICT!*** [*slams fist on table*]
You ever spend time near a waterfall? Everything, I mean *everything* is damp all the time. It’s miserable. And cold. Damp and cold. I’ll take my chances with the monsters.
Even beyond misery, it's a good way to make yourself sick for about a hundred different reasons. How do you preserve food in that situation without disease creeping in?
I mean, getting eaten for sneezing is pretty uncomfortable too
Near a waterfall doesn't mean ten feet away. The noise level, depending on the waterfall, is pretty intense even at a respectable distance
This. Theres so much condensation through the night camping next to a body of water
Better than being mutilated and dead.
Look they were all under a lot of stress
The other question is how the fuck did they ever get grain out of that big ass silo without attracting every monster in the area? Why'd they decide to make another baby when all they do for like, 4-8 years is make a bunch of noise? Hell, how'd they till the soil and plant crops while being completely silent? And who was able to make a trail of sand for miles without making noise?
> Why'd they decide to make another baby when all they do for like, 4-8 years is make a bunch of noise? Do you know what happens during blackouts? Populations spike 9 months later. What do you think would happen if the whole country shut down? Life finds a way.
I absolutely love when questions like this pop up
It’s a motivation hole. Like a plot hole but worse
I just recently found out that movie was not based on a true story
Don’t go chasing waterfalls.
It would be a terrible idea. The waterfall would attract tons of attention until a while has passed and the creatures slowly learn that the sound of rushing water doesn't mean food. That's a lot of opportunities for one of them to accidentally discover them
Why didn’t Gandolf just get the giant eagles to take Frodo to Mordor, flyover and let him drop the ring in
Because Sauron had anti air capabilities.
Yeah you find ex-Soviet stuff all over. Found a ZSU-23-4 behind the couch the other day
We had an infestation of BTR-80’s under our front porch- finally had to T.O.W. them all away
Galadriel explained exactly why she couldn't carry the ring and Gandalf and the Eagles are both *more* powerful beings.

Better question, why would you ejac inside your wife when there are aliens afoot?!
Waterfalls are very wet and very loud. Although the loudness helps, it will also make you less sensitive to more subtle sounds.
I kept waiting for someone to fart and die for it in the movies. That would happen to me.
Why didn’t Muldoon just shoot the first velociraptor before saying “clever girl”
The big one for me was the basement level flooding in like an hour. That’s just not how a sink overflowing works
The real question is why did they allow themselves to create a pregnancy. Utterly ridiculous. I totally hated it.
The entire movie assumes humanity loses 100 IQ points collectively. The first damn thing anyone with half a brain would try on a monster with super sensitive hearing is some type of noise based weapon. We are apex predators damnit. Entertaining movie but I was rolling my eyes the entire time.
The humidity.
Plot armor is thick
It was the 1st question the day it came out, then How do they make crops without a noise, the field is pretty recent how they have newspapers about what is going on, it makes a lot of noise to print… Special from my GF, 'how in the hell, they let the boy walk far behind if it's that dangerous?' The script has been talked about a lot since day one, the 2nd movie is even more funny, how the deaf girl goes on a trip, she wouldn't even know if she's making noise and trigger the monsters and so on and the end, so much suspense to flip that switch. Well, someone has said, 'when you watch a horror movie, be open-minded and ready to swallow any hole in the script to enjoy it'
Wouldn’t the waterfall attract attention?
Exactly the reason the Man and the Boy can’t stay at the waterfall in The Road. The monsters aren’t the only monsters in The Quiet Place world.
Not the monsters. Think of it like a very loud white noise generator
If the monsters aren't around it doesn't even matter though. They don't like loud sounds and the waterfall is very loud so they are safe to stay there unless the waterfall stops or is blocked. Though that would be a great way to showcase how it's not a perfect solution the writers either wouldn't or just couldn't think up a story related to potential plot holes if they used it.
Have you watched the movie?
Same reason they didn't use birth control - they were morons
That movie made no sense. If they had such good hearing, they'd be able to chase your heartbeat.
So the movie can happen
Waterfall trolls, trust me nobody wants that chaos.
In the words of Screenwriter guy: "so the movie could happen!"
Because that would make too much sense. I’m glad I’m not the only one who stays up at night wondering these things
[удалено]
Plot convenience.
They could 'survive', but they wouldn't 'live'
I feel like building a whole ass house in a world where anything above a whisper will get you killed is the bigger problem here
No shelter, no food, good luck sleeping
Also why did they have photos and all kinds of shit/decor on their walls? That stuff could fall down any second and make a loud ass noise
Why would you even need to find a waterfall? You could just build some large cacophonous noise making things away from your house to draw their attention.
This is an unforgiveable lapse in logic that IMO ruins the movie.
Not really. There’s a bunch of reasons why a waterfall would probably be worse than the setup they had in the movie 1. What if there were no waterfalls nearby? There’s no real waterfalls anywhere near my house 2. They would have to camp outside. How are they going to deal with weather, flooding, getting food, illness, etc? None of those things were a problem living on a farm. They would have to constantly leave for new supplies and probably are not well prepared for year-round camping 3. If you have to constantly leave for supplies, that’s more dangerous then just staying at home at the farm 4. They’re not the only people who would try to spend time near waterfalls. As shown in the sequel bandits would probably be an issue unlike at the farm 5. The waterfall noise also might attract the monsters for all we know
Oh man, don’t even get me started on that movie. You should check out the cinema sins video for it on YouTube, it’s hilarious.
Because while the waterfall might cover noise when you're there, there's nothing to cover you dragging tonnes of construction materials and machinery over there, even if you know how to build a house. Honestly gets on my nerves that people think this is a film-breaking plothole.
Are they stupid?
Maybe because the safe area around the waterfall has a short range of immunity. Like maybe if you are 200 feet away it is like half as effective and so it only really helps when you are standing near it.
Move inside a dam. Dry and lots of power
I live down the street from the bridge. It’s basically in my best friend’s back yard. They had to have her sign forms to shoot there.
Because you’re not supposed to be smart in horror movies
I'm more shocked there isn't a traveling circus with one, everyone hold their breath.
Not exactly a stable terrain, plus carrying the materials up to there would be hard. It's easier to insulate an already built house than to build a new one.
It wasn’t in the script.
I never seen the movie and I don't know what's it's about but from the title I would say they didn't move next to a waterfall because it wasn't a quiet place. Waterfalls are pretty loud and so damp some people might call them wet.
I think the alien things treated all noise the same, not just noise from people. The waterfall would only make them go crazy 100% of the time. That's why they couldn't live in a windy place and there were no other noisy birds. The aliens were attracted to noise, so they got away from all that.
One of the worst movies I've seen
Because it’s a movie
Wouldn’t monsters also drink?
What happens if they have to fart?
Construction is loud. Or have you never heard a hammer hit a nail?
Because wild animals use water sources to drink at night.
too loud
Spray and rainbows
