The Abbott family is taking extreme precautions to save each other from the deadly creatures. They lay down paths of sand, walk barefoot, and most of their conversations happen in sign language. Despite the precautionary steps, the hardships just keep escalating.
The toy spaceship tragedy
The Abbott family is away from their isolated farm to collect supplies at an abandoned store. Beau picks up a toy spaceship. Fearing it would make noise, Lee puts it back. In a loving gesture, Regan secretly gives the toy back to Beau with batteries. ..
As the family is driving back to the farm, Beau turns on a toy battery. The toy starts making noise and before Lee can do anything to save Beau, the creature kills him at the speed of lightning. The scene turns pitch black.
Learning to live with hardships
One year after Beau’s death, the family appears to be getting the hang of apocalyptic life. Evelyn is pregnant with her next child. The family has built a secure shelter – keeping intelligent safety measures in place. However, the state of tranquillity doesn’t last long.
Evelyn goes into labour and is struggling to find a safe spot when she accidentally drops a photo frame. The creature’s attention has drawn it to the frame, so Evelyn is able to get away with her child.
She turns on the red lights around the house to alert her family. But, she soon discovers that one of the beasts has already entered the house. However, she manages to distract it, getting into a bathtub to give birth. Meanwhile, Lee and Marcus notice the red light and rush to save Evelyn.
Lee sets off fireworks to deter the creature, and takes the newborn baby and Evelyn into the basement. The baby’s crying alerts the creature, and it follows the voice into the basement. ..
Why does Lee sacrifice himself?
Regan rushes back to the house to join Lee and Marcus in keeping the creature at bay. Regan gets on top of a silo with Marcus. After Marcus accidentally falls down, Regan jumps to rescue him. Guided by the noise, the creature attacks the siblings. Regan makes a high-pitched noise with a cochlear implant that hurts the monster’s sensitive ears.
Marcus screams in fear and the creature attacks the truck they are in.
As he wakes up in the hospital, Lee realizes that his kids are in danger. He gets up and tells Regan that he has always loved her before screaming at the top of his lungs. The creature immediately kills Lee – while Regan and Marcus manage to drive back to the house.
Can the aliens be defeated?
A family of five is in their basement when they hear a noise. One of the children, Regan, notices that her father had been working on cochlear implants to help her hearing. ..
As two more creatures approach the house, Evelyn and Regan look at each other and smile with confidence. Regan is ready with the microphone while Evelyn brandishes her shotgun.
