Bird Brain

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2019)

The opening scenes lure you in, but it starts to drag a bit. Kind of a mix of "Night of the Living Dead" meets "The Happening". The saving grace is the acting. Sandra Bullock is great. Malcovich is Malcovich as usual. The others do ok. Not sure why they needed the blindfolds if they had the birds to warn them anyway? Wasn't that the whole premise and title of the movie?Seems like they could have taken a peek every now and then without a problem. Also the ending where she loses and finds the kids in the rapids of a river and again in a thick forest only to miraculously wind up on the very doorstep she was looking for is a little "unbelievable"
It was enjoyable to watch however, just lower your expectations.
