Another favorite movie "birdbox".Different locations fits for the story. The way movie shows the mothers will power to save her children from undisclosed creature was phenomenon. But why such creature affects human thinking? What is that creature? How it came to that society?. All this questions left unanswered was quite disappointing. Yet, the suspense factor holds the movie till climax.

We struggled with believing the movie, mainly because of the two young kids. I thought Sandra Bullock did a good job with what she was working with. She did a good job of playing the desperate mother role. But those kids, to us, just didn't act right to us. She girl kept not listening, and if she really was raised in such an environment, she wouldn't have done half of what she did.

It was so overrated, I watched it only because I saw a lot of memes based on it and I wanted to catch up.

I didn't watch the movie, as it seemed really intense, but Bird Box is my favorite horror novel ever. I highly recommend reading it!

I personally like it. The psychological concept was very intriguing and thought provoking.

I saw the movie and found it enjoyable, but I'm no fan. Nothings wrong with it, I was just content.

Nothing special really, way worse than I expected. Meaningless and stupid. 1/5

I read the book and it was really dull, the movie was better but both the movie and the book are kind of boring.

I honestly expected more from the movie, especially because of its popularity. I didn't like how little we knew and learned about the mysterious creature in the movie. All we learned was, what happens when you look at it and the effect. Otherwise, to answer your question, I think that whatever is being seen, illuminates the brain of the human almost like hypnotism or mind control, turning them into infectious zombies.

I liked the movie, although there are a lot of unanswered questions. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as there are a limit of characters tou watch the whole time, and thought it would get boring, but I actually enjoyed it.

It was almost three years ago since I saw this film. Stunning and suspenseful characters make this a must-see film. I became increasingly disturbed by the story's antagonist which compelled me to like this film.

I think it's very interesting to think about this movie in regards to mental health. Depression and anxiety can't always be seen by others. A lot of times, people don't want to see it either. Those that allowed themselves to look into the face of the illness succumbed to it. It was a sad movie to watch.

I had no idea Bird Box was a novel before it was turned into a movie, however, the animals are fiction and I don't believe an ounce of it

Have not watched this one, but I hope to watch it soon enough. The name appears thrilling. I will try it out
