A horrible monster you escape by being blind-folded

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2019)

In Douglas Adams' brilliant "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" we learn:
The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is a vicious wild animal from the planet of Traal, known for its never-ending hunger and its mind-boggling stupidity. One of the main features of the Beast is that if you can't see it, it assumes it can't see you. Due to this it has been considered one of the least intelligent creatures in the Universe.
This monster movie has the least intelligent monster in the Universe!
Except that "Hitchhiker's" was a comedy and this time-waster is masquerading as a legitimate thriller.
I would be tempted to give it zero stars except that the acting, editing, cinematography, etc are pretty state of the art. Sandra Bullock plays an artist with NO ties to anyone, although her sister comes by to visit and remind her that she needs to get a life. Sandra becomes pregnant, with no man in sight, and monster apocalypse happens. THIS (these?) monster attacks you by making you sui-homi-cidal if you see it. If you're "good" you kill yourself. If you're "bad" you search for others to kill.
Bullock is a good actress, but her character is so shallow she names her eventually delivered offspring "boy." Taking custody of another newborn delivered about the same time, she names this child "girl."
From the opening moments of the film we see that the only people spared are those who don't SEE the monster. (Or get murdered by the "bad" people who have seen the monster.) By the end we see that all that is required to avoid the monster is a blind-fold, or to actually be blind.
If you've made a "monster movie" and your monster is an unseen Bugblatter Beast of Traal... you need to work on your monster.
