The movie adaptation of Josh Malerman’s novel, Bird Box, establishes a frightening scenario involving an unseen force that causes people to take their own lives if they look at it. The film's structure, which alternates between the present crisis and how things began, works well in creating suspense. Although the disagreements and strain within the group are portrayed convincingly, there’s some uncertainty regarding the reasoning behind the creature’s influence and why certain individuals seem unaffected. Performances are noteworthy, particularly Sandra Bullock’s, and the direction is carefully considered, which adds to the film's overall effect. Despite being captivating, it feels like the story could have gone further in examining its underlying mythology and psychological aspects.
