Too many "whys" go unanswered

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2020)

This sci-fi thriller immediately drew lots of word of mouth. An apocalyptic enduring trip through the woods for a young mother (Sandra Bullock) and her two small children. It has been five years since an unseen presence has driven most of society to the point of suicide. People are being killed in many gruesome ways and it is peer to peer. The young woman, Malorie, and her children must meander through a forest and river blindfolded in order to make it to safety. This film creates tension and suspense and at times gets a bit creepy. Don't waste time trying to figure the whys and wherefores; just sit back and enjoy.
Bullock's efforts will surprise you. The cast also features Trevant Rhodes, Sarah Paulson, Rosa Salazar, John Malkovich, BD Wong, Julian Edwards and Vivien Lyra Blair.
