Anyone who says this film is like A Quiet Place needs to take their blindfold off

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2018)

Bird Box is a Netflix original that shines in its telling of two interesting stories that converge in the final act. My biggest fear going into this film was that I wasn't going to be immersed into the world. Thankfully, the script focuses almost exclusively on past world building after explaining what is going on to our protagonists in the film's present day. The ever-ominous presence of the antagonist is thrilling, and I could just feel the frustration of having to stay blind folded while trying to survive. There wasn't enough going on to warrant any amazing rating for me, but it has been awhile since I have seen a film with a run-time over 2 hours long that has been able to keep my attention the entire time. If you have a Netflix subscription than check out Bird Box.
