A well structured thriller!

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2018)

Bird Box is a genuine hit from Netflix. With a lot of recent Netflix film originals being firmly categorised as misses, this one most certainly landed with me. A great cast and an interesting concept marry perfectly to provide a suspensful second act, where a knock on the door is played out in a way that genuinely had me terrified. The characters are written well, although there is the odd awkward script moment which spoiled a little of the tension. One final issue I took with the movie was its length; two hours felt a little overstretched. This film is definitely worth a watch and, in my opinion, one of the best Netflix originals I have seen in a while.
