Anyone see "Bird Box" yet? What did you think?

I just finished it and I thought it was very well done. People are comparing it to "A Quiet Place" which I haven't seen yet.

watched with whole family; outstanding, IMO. Not to be missed some subtle (or not so) trumpism social commentary (character Douglas, not in the book). I literally know at least two people who are just carbon copy douglas trumpanzees.

I would have liked to have known more about the presence, but i guesx the mystery lets us make up our own mind about that.

Very Lovecraftian to not show us. What they did with the eyes after people saw it was great.

There are movies that do what it tries to do much better than it does.

Bullock was incredible. And Malkovich.

What bothered us about Bird Box is the uselessness of some of the characters...and some just drop dead awful acting (Malkovich, this means you!).

Fluff - kind of fun, but....meh for us.
