Thrilling and scary

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2018)

I am aware of the book version and really interested to read it but I was so busy I completely forgot about it. Then later Bird Box and memes about it just keeps appearing on social media so I felt surprised that it was already a movie and also excited and I had to resubscribe on Netflix just to watch this and that new Black Mirror episode.
I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I loved it. I know people can't help but to compare this to A Quiet Place, but the plot is really different. And also Bird Box was written years before A Quiet Place was written and released. But since people compare, I also have to say that this is scarier. I think being completely silent is kinda easier for me, but the inability to see and also those invisible monsters or whatever they are makes it harder to survive.
I also kind of like it that the monsters true forms aren't revealed. Keeps things mysterious and up to your imagination on what the victims actually saw.
Then there's the acting. Everyone is simply fantastic, even the kids. Sandra Bullock gave a fantastic performance. Sarah Paulson is actually my favorite here though.
The setting was good, I love the shots of the boat scenes. Beautiful.
The ending for me was perfect. It felt beautiful, at least after what they've gone through, there's a happy ending for them.
