I'm not gonna lie part of the 1 star is because netflix doesn't let you rate movies anymore. It's declared, because I watched it and added to the viewer numbers, that the movie was successful. It wasn't. Its clear pretty quickly why the movie was dumped on netflix versus a theatrical release. The plot is nonsense and the script is overacted. Sadly John Malkovich is the worst offender. He plays a typical self-involved american everyman with no specific identity. Possibly the worst character for him to play. Every scene of him is just him yelling lines and looking ready to leave the set asap. I won't go into details but if you're the type that groans loudly whenever a actor does or says something both incredibly stupid and out of character this film is not for you.

I will also point out if you're a suspense/horror fan and understands that rules are everything you'll also be disappointed. I'll give you an example. Assuming you've never actually seen a monster and all that you've ever witnessed is people going crazy when they look at idk NOTHING then what exactly would you run from? and when? The answer is when the plot calls for it so you see idiots running from nothing in particular. If I'd give this movie a byline it'd be "idiots running from nothing in particular for 2 hours". I'm really struggling to tell you why this is better than "the happening"...I got nothing. Sandra B is always enjoyable to watch.. I guess.
