Welcome to School for the Blind!

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2018)

The "Bird Box" it's pertaining to is the 'Janet Tucker School for the Blind' which becomes the refugees', including Malorie and her children, safe haven. The people coming from the outside are being led towards the said institution through the sound of the birds in there. Interesting concept, huh?
On the other hand, the idea of a backstory struggles to uncover the supposed thrill and momentum it has to offer thus making it less ineffective, less substantial, and boring at some times. Unlike in 'A Quiet Place', the delivery of the plot is straightforward without relying on cliche-y and unnecessary backstory hence you could really feel that the momentum is firmly and consistently building up (not to mention its plot holes as well).
Character development is also poor; Malorie remains Malorie. That's it.
