So any of you Netflix Junkies caught this one yet? Looks like ti could be a new take on the "Invisible Monster" Genre.

Although it looks like it could fall into the same Trope Traps as the TWD if it runs long enough.

Thought it was a movie, not a series?

I've heard so many people talking about it, some saying to avoid it and others saying it's good.

After watching the trailer it looks like something I've seen before. Personally I've decided to avoid it because it looks too much like A Quiet Place which I didn't like very much.

Flyattractor
Yeah. The Quiet Place is what first jumped to my mind as well. Aint gotten around to seeing that one either...

And its Netflix. It might be a "Movie Now" but that don't mean they won't try for a series.

Galan007
Yeah it's a movie.

Basically an amalgamation of A Quiet Place and TWD. Wasn't a fan.

People seem pretty split on this. Some people really like it, others think it's a pile of trash. Haven't watched it myself.

Looks kinds "Meh" to me. Just a re-imagining of "The Happening".

BruceSkywalker

Dumb, I turned it off

Yeah. Sandra aint the Hottie she used to be. Oh the days of that tight ass of hers from the Demolition Man movie...Hubba Hubba.

John Malkovich is ****ing great in it. Everything else about is shit except when Sandra Bullock yells at the kids that they're going to die. She is the best mother in a movie for a while.

It's actually not too bad...there is the obvious comparisons to The Happening & A Quiet Place...however the novel it's based on was written well before TH & AQP came into production.

Personally I thought Bird Box was more credible, in suspension of belief than A Quiet Place...it's more feasible to survive without sight than it is without making a sound.

The most frightening aspect of this movie is Bullock's face...with the shoulder cropped hair & amount of cosmetic surgery to her nose, she seriously looks like Michael Jackson.

I thought the movie was fine, but I really, really dislike the "lets keep the bad thing ambiguous" stuff that's gotten far too prevalent in these kinds of movies.

I get the reasons WHY they do it. It still annoys me though.

So do you think this is actually what the creatures looked like, or is it just how the psycho perceived them?

https://i.imgur.com/HhcqAsj.jpg I wish they hadn't shown those. Too simple and Lovecraftian. Would have been creepier if he had shaded in dozens of pages of just black.


Solid horror movie though. Felt like a blender smoothie of a bunch of other ones.

Flyattractor
Hmmmmm?

Fly is wrong as usual as per for norm. How uninformed can this guy get?

Anyway the movie was a piece of trash film. It offered nothing new to the genre and actually regressed the tropes quite a bit. JM was the best thing about it.
