Bird Box (2018)
Great Movie
Whomever compares this to "A Quiet Place," knows nothing about the book. I would compare the claustrophobia to maybe, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and the mysteriousness of the "monsters" to The Myst or perhaps even the beginning of Cloverfield.
Either way, this movie, while not exactly following the book, is a pretty good adaptation. It's creepy and claustrophobic and the characters are questionable which makes the entire movie crawl under your skin as much as the book did.
People complain that seeing Sandra stumbling in the woods gets old, but if she knew where everything was she would be an omniscient character, which is preposterous. I am not generally a big Sandra Bullock fan, but here she pulls off an excellent portrayal of a terrified lady trying to protect the children.
I am also not a fan of Netflix material, because generally their stuff is just... bleh. This movie was not. They have done a fantastic job making the viewer feel pinned down. I do, however, wish they had much more closely followed the book, but then, I suppose, there would have been no surprises for me.
Good job! I actually can't wait to sit and watch it again to pick up on things I missed the first time around. I am also tempted to read the book again because it is far more claustrophobic than the movie.
Read the book. Watch the movie. Judge it for its own worth and not as a comparison to which it should not be compared.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
Emotionless, Mechanical
I am sure there is some reason for this, but the characters are very mechanical and emotionless that I found it very difficult to watch. Anyone who thinks this is wonderful acting has obviously lost touch with reality.
I am sure the movie will have some redeeming qualities to a few out there, but there is nothing in it for me.
Marrowbone (2017)
Wow
I was not expected this to be so creepy and fulfilling. What an excellent story.
Ignore all the bad reviews. You just can't make people happy.
Amber Alert (2012)
Samantha
This is the most annoying movie I have ever seen. I would have kicked that girl out of my car while driving down the road at 75 miles an hour. She was super annoying and how could anyone be best friends with that annoying, screaming wretch.
I suggest the if you are going to watch this... drink a lot of alcohol beforehand.
