Entertaining but not "the" horror movie

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2019)

I think some people reviewing are quite disappointed by the movie because they were looking to have nightmares after seeing BirdBox - which is fair given all the buzz around the web as "the scariest thing ever"
If you are big on the horror genre, this will not blow your mind. It has less jump scare moments and many more "oh god, no!!!" moments
Which doesn't make the movie worse, just different
That being said, it a entertaining movie

cool premise of a creature that makes you feel stuff so horrid you commit suicide merely by looking at it. The plot could definitely do a better job on the whys and hows of this came to be. Same goes for the ending.

all things you expect from a big budget movie - Sandra bullock's acting is very good, scenery is great and so are all the angles and filming throughout

definitely keeps you engaged as you want to know what will happen next. But again, more a thriller than a horror movie

All in all, not the biggest thing ever as the hype might suggest, the way the plot develops is a bit disappointing, but ultimately an entertaining movie but will make for a well spent 2 hours.
7/10
