The ending, not so good

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2018)

A mass epidemic of some kind breaks out whereby a nebulous entity is manifest in the air which effects people's behaviour dramatically when they look at it; unless you are inside a house or a building with the blinds down in which case the malevolent entity cannot reach you. Still there? Yeah don't know if the film's producers were when the premise was read out. They were probably as bothered about the plot as John Malkovich appears to be about his wife who gets into a burning car, he has a moan for a few minutes and then moves on. When the children end up in the tumultuous rapids one is safely deposited on the shore the other a rock. As the lawyer in South Park exclaims to a bemused Jury, 'that does not make any sense!' The films ending is what didn't quite stick. It just doesn't really add up. Where do they get their food, what is it supposed to be? A utopia? And what's with the bird in the box? So the birds get flappy when danger approaches, so why go to the school?
