Surprisingly boring movie for a horror. The initial story idea is interesting, but the execution is filled with stale dialog, ordinary, unmemorable and mostly unlikable characters, not to mention some astonishingly corny advancements. From all the cast, only Malkovich's cowardly douche-bag feels like a real human and ironically he's the most sensible of the whole bunch, while unfortunately the two children are mostly props. Film structure gives away who survives which only ruins any chance this had at building suspense. To conclude, "Bird Box" is hopelessly uneven, stupid and boring 124 minute movie endeavor with some really artificial acting from some cast members.

Rating: 4-
