A trill a minute....

Rating: 6/10 (25 June 2020)

Sandra Bullock and her two children have to flee from a lethal monster/creature/thing that is out to infect and possess all of mankind. They must use every skill and sense at their disposal to reach the last safe haven for mankind. Every sense, that is, except for their eyesight - the evil force is a bit like Medusa, you don't want to look at it or you are toast! Derivative is the word - "Falling Skies" meets "War of the Worlds" in Filene's basement; augmented occasionally by John Malkovich and even Tom Hollander. It's way too long, the story lacks any kind of suspense or sense of danger and after about an hour you would gladly swap your blindfold for ear plugs. It it were not for the calibre of the cast, it would just be written off as a mediocre TV movie.
