The mere sight of a creature causes one to immediately commit suicide. The only way to avoid death is to cover one\u2019s eyes at all times when outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie opens as Malorie prepares two young children for a journey into the wilderness. She implores them to listen to the rules for the trip which, if not followed implicitly, will lead to their demise. They are not to leave her side, they cannot speak, and they must keep their blindfolds on at all times unless otherwise instructed. They dutifully agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In flashbacks, we see how this trip became necessary. At first, the news reports of the phenomenon show it plaguing Russia and Asia. Malorie is initially unconcerned as she lives in California. However, the creatures arrive in the United States and Malorie takes refuge in a house filled with other people who have escaped seeing their nightmares become reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survivors are a stereotypically diverse cross-section of personalities and ethnicities. There\u2019s Douglas (John Malkovich,) a probable racist and self-admitted asshole; Tom (Trevante Rhodes), the black alpha male; Felix (Machine Gun Kelly), the white punk; and Lucy (Rosa Salazar), the Hispanic police academy cadet. (There are others but they seem to serve a plot point or two and then they die.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gradually, the new housemates learn how to deal with the day-to-day aspects of living in a world where going outside means death. &nbsp;(A particularly inventive scene takes place when a small group of them uses a car\u2019s GPS and proximity warning sensors to blindly drive to the grocery store for a supply run.) As the movie bounces back and forth between two timelines, the reasons for the journey Malorie is taking become more clearly defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandra Bullock delivers a solid performance as the initially detached but eventually determined Malorie. She is, by far, the most defined character in the film and the spotlight is squarely on Bullock the entire time. The direction by Susanne Biers successfully maintains a high level of suspense without ever resorting to cheap jump scares or massive amounts of gore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise, while reminiscent of <a href=\"http:\/\/movieassault.com\/index.php\/2018\/07\/28\/a-quiet-place-2018\/\"><i><b>A Quiet Place<\/b><\/i><\/a> or M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s <b><i>The Happening<\/i><\/b>, is original enough to keep one\u2019s interest throughout. Unfortunately, several major plot holes keep the film from reaching its potential to be a truly powerful thriller and the ending only provides more questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Bird Box<\/em> <\/strong>has become something of a viral phenomenon since it premiered on Netflix\u2019s streaming service in December, 2018. At the time of this review, the movie has been viewed over 45 million times. It\u2019s spawned a large number of memes and even a \u201cchallenge\u201d that encourages people to spend 24 hours wandering around with a blindfold over their eyes. However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s a movie worth watching.<\/p>\n\n\n<span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">3.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">3.0<\/span><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The direction by Susanne Biers successfully maintains a high level of suspense without ever resorting to cheap jump scares or massive amounts of gore.
