The biggest thing I wanna know about this movie before deciding whether to see it is;
How much of the movie is plot and character based and how much is literally action shots with the monsters? Anyone seen it that can weigh in?
- Very little actual screen time with monsters. Like maybe 5-10 minutes tops if I recall. But their presence is always felt from the tension in the characters.
  Definitely more of a character based story in the framework of a monster horror.
  Edit: whoops disregard this thought it was the original a quiet place
