As a horror enthusiast I was hoping for big thing from Bird Box. The fact that it's become a "viral" Netflix sensation enhanced my hope. I mean, how can 34 million streamers be wrong? Right? Well they were. It took me 2 days and multiple pauses (to check the remaining running time) to get through it. It was not nearly the worst thing I've ever seen, but I definitely feel bad for people involved in smaller films, with smaller stars that don't receive the hype. If I could summarize the film in one word, it would be:

Meh.

Find something better.
