Bird Box 2018

Expectations were high. I remember when the movie came out, a lot of buzz was generated around it. But I didn't find it anything special.

The first half of the movie, in my point of view, is the best part. In addition to the suspense it has managed to introduce, it has a brief introduction, leading us quickly to the so-called 'action'. The way they were introducing flashbacks was not groundbreaking though, it was nonetheless interesting.

After seeing the movie, it bothered me that we couldn't see the 'creatures' that the characters dealt with. However, after seeing other opinions about the movie, I agree when they say it was a clever way to grab us and create even more suspense.

I liked the performance of the actors in general, notably Bullock, Malkovich (this one seems to me, in his normality, an authentic role) and Howery (this was super funny, I can imagine me in his skin, less in the outcome of his story, eheh).

Although not 100% satisfied, I think it's a good thriller and I recommend it!
