Bird Box

Kind of a The Happening meets A Quiet Place, but better than the latter and way better than the former. Maybe I didn't get eeeeeeverything I wanted out of Bird Box but I'm still on board.

As most of the movie takes place inside a single house, they manage to keep things interesting there and vary up a few select locations, to include a city that is amazingly detailed in all the chaos unfurling and a river that is somehow bot...
