Watch Birdman not Bird Box

Rating: 3/10 (12 January 2019)

3 stars is generous because the first half is pretty good, exciting and scary. It started off quite promising and then descended into B-movie 1 star as the plot was unbelievable and the dialogue and acting terrible.
This was my first ever Netflix film and it was so heavily promoted on the front page of the menu with little alternatives and great hype at Christmas that it was the most watched film solely because of clever promotion.
Sandra Bullock isn't the greatest actress but she's better than this. Malkovich is a top quality actor and did this for the paycheck. I think this film is either great or a turkey depending on what you look for in a movie, if you look for quality then it's a turkey, if you are entertained by basic implausible horror then it may appeal.
It does tick all the correct Hollywood 21st century requirements: Female director, female lead featuring strong independent all-conquering woman, black and disabled actors, white male actors all dumbass weak or evil - so on that front a 10!
If you want a classic movie then I can recommend Birdman but spoiler alert it features a white male and 4 men won Oscars!
