Horrible adaptation. There's no feeling of real fear and terror.
It could have been so much better.
This movie was Too long Terrible Pace and a Below Average Plot... I appreciated the backstory but the present plot wasn't executed well.. Overall Below Average Movie they should've cut the run time shorter IMO.. 3/5 I gave it
Absolutely loved it.
Bird Box had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The movie takes on a mostly dark and depressing tone, but has just the right amount of well timed comedic relief and lighter moments.
Going into Bird Box I didn't expect much, as I haven't been super impressed by any of Netflix's movies (shows are different) But by the second act, I knew regardless of how the movie resolved I'd be glad I watched it.
The violence and gore are prominent, so if that's something that turns you away from movies this might not be for you. It isn't excessive but it's definitely there.
I would highly recommend this movie. Potentially my favorite thriller I watched this year.
Great movie! At first I thought this was going to be just like 'A quiet place' but it really wasn't. This movie was a giant metaphor, there was so much hidden content to this story, much more than just a survival/apocalyptic/alien invasion movie.
I think they kept the tension really well by not showing us what it was that people saw, how it was different for everyone and how it affected the mentally ill different. They revealed just enough to make you guess and probably make up things in your mind to go with the story. And much like in the movie 'Split' I think it was beautiful that in the end this sanctuary is with the school for the blind, people who could normally be seen as weaker people or even damaged.
It has a nice pace to it by switching back and forth to present day and past events, Sandra did a wonderful job as Malorie, and her story is very beautiful.
The representation of the threat in the film is totally unreal. It is a great burden for the movie. Still the result is acceptable
Really good movie! Not immensly scary but keeps you entertained and on the edge of your seat.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good cast, good suspense. Well worth a watch.
Do you feel that??.... Ohhhhh shit...Wah-ah-ah-ah...Wah-ah-ah-aaah...Get up, come on get down with the sickness...Open up your hate and let it flow into me
Having read the book, I was a little nervous to watch the movie. They actually did a pretty good job. They changed some small things and a couple of big things. That's normal. Had I not read the book though, I still would have enjoyed the movie. And I did. It's well cast, acted, choreographed etc etc. Oh, and it's scored by Trent Reznor which I didn't really hear anything about. I noticed there was something familiar about the scoring, and then I saw his name pop up in the credits. Makes sense. All in all, a very entertaining flick. Highly recommend.
middle of the road.. Could have been so much MORE
Coming up next... creatures that kill with sound,,, but only when its convenient to the plot.
Back to this one; I didn't like it because of the cliche's... also that monitor thing was stupid.
It never quite reaches its intriguing potential, but strong acting and an effectively chilly mood offer intermittently creepy compensation.
Great film! Thank you, Netlfix!
Amazing movie iv seen in a long long time
A Quite Place?
Feels shockingly the same plot. It was very entertaining to say the least. Never actually seeing the entity bugged the shit out of me
Great beginning, and decent overall, but yet another movie with an unexplained mystery and no worthy plot payoff.
This movie is not a copy of A Quiet Place but its equally dumb and boring....
This is so bad! Do what she says 'do not look'
This movie was crazy good, five stars!
Never thought much of Sandra Bullock as most of the films I've seen her in have been fairly light action/comedy but her acting ability really showed through on this one though. Superb performance by her and the other actors. The acting really needed to be top notch to sell this film and they succeeded. Not the best movie but worth a watch if you like this type of genre.
This is the best Netflix original movie that I've ever seen, and I've seen quite many
I love Sandra Bullock in these roles this movie kept you watching until you get to the bottom of plot. So many twists and turns. on top of a very curious and unique storyline nice one Netflix!!!!!
A cross with the quiet place and the happening with the same old Sandra bullock and it turned out to be a decent film and gets into the action from the start with some tense scenes and feel good ending but would of loved to know more about the enemy tho..
I have not read the book, so judging only by the film, it can be concluded that it is a wonderful work, which brings many sensations and emotions to those who are watching. Sandra Bullock is very great as always, she can pass the connection even though the character has shown it yet. Anyway, the film is sensational, incredible performances and very good scenarios; Congratulations to those in charge.
If you liked the book, you will be disappointed. It's not a bad movie, but there are a ton of changes from the novel that really hurt the overall plot.
The happening part 2 better cast
super film Sandra Bullock au top !!
I love you Sandra Bullock. She is amazing.
The movie was full of intensity, drama and suspense.
I was sod sad when Jess died, she was a cool sister but is always good to see Sarah Paulson, even if it's just for 5 minutes or so.
Oh Charlie, he was the best. Poor thing.
Tom was incredible, I loved his family so much that he sacrificed for them.
I'm glad Malorie gave the kids a name and realized how much they meant to her.
Maybe is not the best movie of the year, but is entertaining.
Sandra Bullock is enjoyable in everything she does, and the rest of the cast (especially Trevante Rhodes and John Malkovich) sold the hell out of what little plot there was here, but it was all just a bit too surface level. There was no real explanation for any of it, which is deeply frustrating after you've spent two hours watching something. I don't need everything neatly wrapped up in a bow at the end, but this kind of felt entirely unwrapped. Watchable but certainly not re-watchable.
i will never understand why people in situations like this dont just kill themselves
Super tense all the way through, fun cast; definitely enjoyed this film.
when i read the book i acepted the concept about the creatures and fortunately the movie has the same atmosphere, but a few less scare. however, i enjoyed it <3
Went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised that this was a solid thriller. I cared more about the flashbacks then the current day story. The concept is interesting but nothing we haven't seen before. An easy recommendation since it's on Netflix.
A well-made, tense, and unsettling film, and if you can take your blindfolds off for a minute to look at the film more closely, this is also so much more than another A Quiet Place. Genuinely good and with a great cast, this is well worth seeing.
I really enjoyed this. I actually liked it better than The Quiet Place myself.. I know I’m in the minority on that one. But my daughter(15yo) is a huge bird lover, and she watched with me.. I was entertained from start to finish and liked the ending with the School for the Blind. I also didn’t mind not actually seeing the creatures. They actually showed the drawing of them which were creepy and imaginative to me.
superb film,Bullock is class,has to be in the top best five films I've watched in 2018 and I watch about 20 film s every week!

What a tense film! I was really drawn into it and was trying to figure out how they could get out of it!
