Very good movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2020)

One of the best films that I have seen recently is Bird Box, an apocalyptic horror film directed by Susanne Bier and starring Sandra Bullock, one of my favourite actors. It is based on a novel by Josh Malerman. However, it received mixed reviews from the critics, and my siblings weren't impressed by it, so I wans't sure if I'd enjoy it. However, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
The plot of Bird Box is that people see something horrific and then immediately commit suicide. The film tells the story of Malorie Hayes, a woman who is first seen sternly exhorting two young children, a girl and a boy, never to remove their blindfolds. The only way to stay safe is not to see at all. They need to reach the community, a former school for blind, because only there they can be safe. After long and scary journey, they finally reach the community.
The pace of the film is frantic and the action is non-stop. In general, the acting is excellent and Sandra Bullock in particular gives a great performance. Some critics were of the opinion that the story was predictable and silly, but I think they are missing the point.
To sum up, Bird Box isn't just thought-provoking movie, it's also very scientific. The film has you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I would certainly recommend it to anybody looking for a thrilling and scary horror film.
