Movie goers dream

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2019)

I've watched 1000s of films (and made a few myself) over the years, and I've never taken the time to review a movie. After seeing the score for this film, I was inspired to give my two cents.
Horror is not my favorite genre, but Stranger Things and A Quiet Place were intelligent projects that slowly but surely changed my mind. I'm adding Bird Box to this list. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Bird Box. Bullock's character harks back to her early days of Speed: a very physical, tension-building portrayal of a woman fighting for her life...and others; but in a completely different world. The supporting cast was excellent from well-known actors like Paulson, Malkovich, and Lil Rel to newcomers.
Although in the same genre as the other projects mentioned, Bird Box is unique, and entertaining in its own right. The suspense was palpable from start to finish, and kept me guessing throughout.
It's definitely a 'curl up and eat popcorn' movie. Take the naysayers' comments with a grain of salt.
