This movie is an alternate-universe version of A Quiet Place (Notice how similar the aliens are in both cases).
- No, they are not similar. They don't have any problem with sounds and they are able to use technology, so they are not brainless animals. Could be as well be an alternate universe of 'Alien' in that case...
This movie is an alternate-reality Half-Life 2
The Combine have a different form here, or a different race arrived. Somewhere off in New Mexico a research project went boom.
