![]() Regan and Marcus exit the silo and reunite with their father, who sends them to hide in the abandoned truck while he fends off the creature with an axe. When one of the creatures attacks them inside the silo, the frequency from her hearing aid sends it running. Regan's cochlear implant processor becomes the key to defeating the monsters, as the electric signals create a painful feedback loop only they and Regan can feel. She jumps into a corn silo without hesitation and nearly drowns rescuing her brother. Despite her feelings of abandonment, she is still willing to sacrifice herself for her family. After reuniting with Marcus, the two get on top of one of the silos and light a fire to catch their father's attention, but the flames die out and Marcus falls into the silo. However, her hearing aid produces some kind of high-pitched frequency that scares the creature off, but also inflicts a fair amount of pain on Regan as well. On her way home, one of the creatures stands just a few feet away. Regan returns home after seeing fireworks in the sky, a warning signal that her family is in extreme danger. Regan spends the afternoon at Beau's grave, where she leaves the same toy shuttle that resulted in his death. Despite the shared language of ASL, she is unable to communicate her feelings to Lee, and he refuses to engage with her. She feels rejected, abandoned, and unloved. She’s incapable of moving on or processing the loss of Beau, and instead chooses to punish herself by isolating herself from those she loves. Feeling confined by her father, she leaves home to visit her brother's grave. This idea is fed by Lee's refusal to let her prove herself capable of helping him and his fixation on making her a working cochlear implant. She begins to believe her deafness makes her a dangerous liability to those around her and that this is the reason she couldn't save Beau. He's snatched and killed by a creature.Ī year later, Regan still blames herself for Beau’s death, and her relationship with her father has grown tenuous. Regan moves when she sees her father's horrified expression, but it's too late for anyone to save Beau. On their walk home, Beau turns on the rocket making a loud piercing noise. Unknowing to Regan, Beau pockets the batteries. The family leaves the abandoned store, but when no one is looking, Regan secretly gives Beau back the toy without the batteries. Their father Lee carefully removes the batteries and places the rocket out of reach. ![]() ![]() While her parents are scavenging for medication and supplies, Regan catches a toy rocket from falling to the ground that her four-year-old brother Beau is playing with.
