BIRD BOX EYES MOVIE

This is something she has done for decades at this point, and Bullock knows that the middle-of-the-road star vehicle is no longer an option in todayâ(TM)s movie industry. Sandra Bullock is surprisingly good, trying her best to save a bad picture. Itâ(TM)s actually most comparable to a low budget zombie movie, complete with a group of stereotypical characters in a safe house, waiting around for their turn to die horribly. Bird Box is mostly boring, has terrible dialogue, filled with characters that irritate more than they engage, and is the most predictable movie Iâ(TM)ve seen in years. If It Comes at Night was the arthouse version, and A Quiet Place was the well-made popcorn version, this is the straight to DVD/streaming option. We have seen this kind of odd, post-apocalyptic story before and recently. So, what about the movie part of the fucking movie? Yeah, itâ(TM)s pretty terrible. (Netflix withholds that information, which is also quite questionable.) Either way, a lot of people were conned, and a lot of people made as ass of themselves wearing blindfolds for the world to see. It was likely that this brief phenomenon was not organic, and weâ(TM)ll never know how effective it was in terms of streaming numbers. So yes, Bird Box was in the estimation of many, a con-job by Netflix to inflate its numbers by creating a stupid challenge and then having reports and articles spread across social media to encourage people to click on a low-end Sandra Bullock movie that would have crashed and bombed had it been released theatrically. Bet you forgot about this one! I wish I could forget watching it. Rating: R (Language|Brief Sexuality|Bloody Images|Violence) To make it, they'll have to cover their eyes from the evil that chases them - and complete the trip blindfolded.

Searching for hope and a new beginning, a woman and her children embark on a dangerous journey through the woods and down a river to find the one place that may offer sanctuary.

Other fans called it “terrifying” and “scary,” with plenty coming to the conclusion: “No visual monster can ever be scarier than what is left to your imagination.”

“If it was actually shown in movie, all would have died of laughter,” another person wrote. So it would have been the wrong decision.”įrom the comments on social media, it seems as though fans are pretty split is the demon baby scary or is it…kinda funny? “I literally did not imagine them like this 😂,” one person commented on Instagram.

Where the conceit is really strong, then trying to illustrate it is kind of almost meaningless. I think to suddenly take upon a concrete shape in order to illustrate that becomes weak. “Everybody’s deepest fear is going to be different from the other person. “Whatever those beings are, they tap into your deepest fear,” director Susanne Bier explained to Bloody Disgusting. Of course, as everyone who has seen the film knows, the nightmare sequence didn’t actually make it into the final cut. “Everything from the neck down was intended to be a giant CGI creature/body added later,” the sculptor added.

In his post, Bergholtz clarified that the reason the creature looked like “a green man” to Bullock was because the monster was actually an actor in a green spandex suit. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Sculptor Andy Bergholtz, who worked on the film, also shared several photos of the creatures, emphasizing that the designs were meant to represent just one iteration of the monsters, as every character saw something different. As noted by BuzzFeed, the Instagram account for SFX Atlas shared a collage depicting what a particular version of the creatures might have looked like. Unlike other thrillers that ultimately reveal their frightening villains after endless teasing ( Signs comes to mind as a prime example), Bird Box keeps its audience in the literal dark, save for a handful of demonic drawings in one scene.Īnd while the sheer mystery of it all is undoubtedly scary in its own right, plenty of viewers were hoping for a taste of what the many characters laid eyes on seconds before their demise. Looking at the creatures inevitably results in death (for most folks at least), so our protagonist and her friends are forced to navigate this post-apocalyptic world while blindfolded. The film - which stars Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Dumplin’ star Danielle Macdonald, and Trevante Rhodes - plunges audiences into an “end of days” scenario in which unseen monsters wreak havoc on the entire planet.
