I LOVED IT

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2019)

I love the premise, it's like a quiet place with a little more mystery regarding the nature of the situation. Sandra Bullock does a great job anchoring the film. Not quite a horror film as such, it has touches of The mist, A Quiet Place, and The Happening sprinkled throughout, fortunately a lot more to do with the former two than with the latter. It's entertaining, if never as gripping as its opening contagion scene. Tropes and cliches abound, the stakes are drastically reduced by the storytelling mechanics alternating between two timelines, and the supporting characters are one-note. Yet, the movie is enjoyable to watch and moderately suspenseful even though the hazy rules of its universe prevent the scenario from eliciting flat out terror.
