Bird Box is the perfect reflection of where Hollywood Horror/Sci-Fi has gone. Not really all that scary or smart yet entertaining enough to lumber along and keep you mildly entertained. What really is troublesome is that the same apocalyptic themes seem to be what sets up every story. It is either zombies, or viruses, or viruses causing zombies. None of the contemporary stuff seems to stray far from the tired source material. But those who are hungry for a thriller that kills two hours of time, you could do a lot worse. If you can make it through a very slow middle part of the film, the end is pretty dope.
