Interesting Premise, Poor Delivery

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2018)

**NO SPOILERS UNTIL FINAL PARAGRAPH**
This movie is OK, but leaves far too much unanswered. Similar to A Quiet Place, it's a survival based thriller in which people can't open their eyes outside or they either kill themselves or become killers (it's hard to tell which will happen)
This means a lot of travelling blindfolded for supplies, safe shelter etc. It's your standard group survival movie with a twist and a few big names that keep that element interesting.
SPOILERS- The movie loses its grasp when we get to present day and only Sandra Bullock and her children are left. They are headed to a sanctuary which they eventually reach, live happily ever after, roll credits. The problem is there is absolutely no explanation as to what's causing this outbreak and why some people don't kill themselves when they open their eyes. It makes no effort to distinct between the two possibilities. There's some loose idea that it's demons of some kind, but nothing solid. It's not done well and is evident they ran out of ideas.
Worth a watch if you're bored, but I wouldn't go out my way to seek this film out as its ending is rather disappointing.
