Interesting concept but ultimately fell flat

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2018)

I usually don't watch Netflix originals and Bird Box is a good example as to why. I watched the trailer and it looked really interesting but overall, it was lazily written. It feels like it was so close to getting to a really interesting concept when it just ended. The idea of something making people want to kill themselves isn't a new concept. It was done (also poorly) in "The Happening". I was thinking that maybe seeing how bad the aformentioned movie was, Netflix would improve on the concept. I was wrong. I do hope someone does this concept well, though. It's a really cool concept. I gave 5 stars for Sandra Bullock's always amazing acting. That woman is a powerhouse.
