Absolute garbage

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2018)

It doesn't ever explain what is causing the suicides. There you have it. Now you can skip this horrible movie and do something else. People that are giving it high scores must be millenials, folks who have never seen a good movie in their lives or the kind that amazes themselves with an all black canvas and those crappy modern art. It doesn't matter if the acting or directing is good or whatever. What a movie is about is storytelling. What we expect from it is a good story with well placed intro, middle and ending.
Onto the "open for interpretation" theme: yes, it is a thing, but this movie is far away from that. The reason is that it doesn't give any element for a minimum interpretation whatsoever. I don't need them to explain WHY that fenomena is happening to the world, but at least WHAT is causing the suicides. The "why" part you can theorize about, and that is what a movie of that kind should aim to. But to deliver and unfinished idea, some hidden thing that causes you to kill yourself if you ever should look at it, and never reveal it or at least why people would feel that urge? This is treating the audience like idiots that should accept any crap content and clap afterwards (unfortunately, this is the modern era and we are already living in the distopia saw in Idiocracy).
Moreover, the idea for the movie is not a new one. The Happening functions on the exact same premisse (sudden suicides), but at least it builds a nice story, some social interactions and gives a damn about explaining just what the hell is happening. Why? It gives you a hint. But the "what" is there. Bird box leaves you without anything. This movie is here to prove people will pay for an unfinished movie or idea only to be forced to complete it in the creators stead. And they will ask for seconds.
