Actually it's an old trope with demons, vampires etc. You have to invite them in. They don't respect property, they just respect walls. They trespass a lot. 🤗
Yeah but if Kratos was in the film it wouldn't be much of a film. "The monster is dead" "how did you kill it without looking?" "All I see is another enemy"
This is how the movie would go if Kratos were in it: Atreus: "Where'd all those monsters go? And where did you get these new rugs?" Kratos: "You answered your first question with your second question."
How blind is blind enough? There are a lot of blind people that can still see something. I wear glasses, if I take them off am I immune to the creature?
I'm more wondering.. Well I'm certain the alien monsters have a certain color So if you use cameras and have them set to not show that color...you wouldn't see them?
Dude I just realized how fucking powerful Daredevil would be in this movie I’m now wondering why they didn’t include a “blind guy” character that teaches them how to try and navigate without seeing. Not like in a Daredevil way, just in a normal.... blind guy way....
From reading about about 30 pages plus the ending of the book (so qualified, lol), the sanctuary is actually a home for the blind. To be admitted, they are then required to blind themselves. So yeah, you get the normal blind people just living their lives when it's all over.
@@dustedjotaro3078 Yes, for a while I thought he was gonna save that film. Eventually. Then he died. I thought - NO! He could've saved that film! Then the film ended and I thought - nah, he couldn't have saved it even if he had wanted to.
I also love how John Malcovich's character is right the whole time and the movie is trying to make you hate him so hard. Like literally every time people don't listen to him, they die.
This is exactly how I described the plot to my boyfriend. "A bunch of people refuse to listen to the smartest person in the room simply because he's blunt and uses a mean tone". John Malcovich was the best, most intelligent character in the movie and people refuse to listen to a damn thing he says. They all deserved to die in my opinion lol
Paraphrasing his line: "You want to know the only difference between us? I'm always right." Seemed more like a message from the writer than actual dialogue to me.
But...he was only right one time. Every other time he voiced his opinion it ended up being wrong...you can even see that when the group treats him the way that he wanted to treat everyone else after he proves to be more of a liability than an asset.
I think he said the monsters can't harm the people But I could've sworn I saw the monsters moving stuff? So why can't they harm people? They should be able to remove the blindfolds themselves.
Daredevil would have a better chance, certainly... But I'm not really sure. If it's as good as it is in the Netflix show (where he actually pretty *clearly* saw Claire way back in Season 1 when he was telling her about himself and we got a quick shot of how he "sees" everything) then it might not help that much? It's anyone's guess, really. Hard to say without knowing the full extent of those things's power to make people kill themselves after they look at them....

I think the characters were annoying for 2 reasons. 1. It was meant to be realistic, if youre stuck in a house with 6 strangers, theres a chance that they can be dumb and not think like you. 2. They were meant to show you how dumb thinking doesn't lead to survival in situations like this
I only got pissed off when Sandra started nagging at Tom about his story, falsely accusing him of lying - and again, when she herself took up his story and wittingly lied to the kids about it.

zAc0n OP if you were a blind Buddhist Monk that mastered Hand to Hand Combat, Blade Defense, Swordsmanship, and Vibration Detection then you've basically become God on this new Earth 😂
Its insane to me that they decided to adapt a book where lack of sight is the primary hook into a MOVIE, a VISUAL medium. Clearly they should've made a limited-run podcast.
I'm right with you there. I was so upset when they showed the monitor and it was literally just an image of outside. He said that he'd just be reading heat signatures or whatever.
If I remember correctly, he was talking about the image, the monitor's heat, not a heat camera. And it was a plan worth trying to know if you could indirectly see the creature; like the serpent from Harry Potter, which didn't kill if looked through a mirror.
@@isaacsmith2997 Monitors emit heat, he was describinn why he thought it would work. He said pixels, heat, i think colors, etc. It makes sense just think about it.
I was so confused to be honest, I'm thinking that maybe he lied bc his husband had died and he wanted to go too......... idek, but that wouldn't make sense either, he could have just killed himself from the beginning. OR NETFLIX OVERLOOKED THAT WHOLE SCENE.
@Michel Houellebecq Two things.. Trending, and new content is always at the top of the page when released. Even more so with an actress like Sandra Bullock as the main. Not diminishing it's viralarity though
@@jamiegreyy Well it's new content they want to trend sometimes, and by just keeping it constantly at the top with the trailer running they can hook most curious viewers. Thank god I'm not a Sandra Bullock fan and didn't watch it.
Do not watch it if you get grossed out easy. I first watched when I was a kid and almost freaked out for months. I am an adult now and re watching it just makes me sometimes not wanna be touched my my bf but ehh. I is a good song, and like a old fashioned anime horror like video.
I freaking remember seeing this video and freaking out as a kid as well... Was kind of depressing because everyone just freaking dies, and i never understood why.
He’s painted as the villainous character... imagine my shock. A bunch of retarded idealists that get everyone killed while the rational, gun toting white guy is supposedly BAD. (Orange man bad)
I loved the metaphors with his response to "why did you have a problem with my expansion" to "because I have to see it" all the way to being told by his murderer "it's a shame you couldn't see it" because the truth is he always did see (the reality of the situation). His bullshit detector went off with the holey story of that man who walked in and the old woman knocked him unconscious, not seeing the obvious
Bird box should've been a show, it had the potential. It would've been interesting to watch the people living every day life in a post apocalyptic world.
R u saying that bird box is a good movie cuz if that’s actually what ur talking about then do u not kno that there r so many reviews and they said it’s crap and I agree
I forgot the bald dude name who lost his wife. But he was right through the whole movie. Calling him an asshole for what, because he spit logic and common sense 😁. If only they had listened to him
His character was actually wrong for most of the movie. Remember he wasn't in his own house, defending his family. He was let into his neighbor's house, who he didn't even like, and then he decided that nobody else was allowed in, even though by that logic he would've been dead before the movie started. His "common sense" was basically him being selfish and getting pissed when other people didn't listen to him.
this is also one thing i love about this movie douglas who plays the asshole was not completely an asshole, unlike in other movies where similar character is usually made into the quintessential dick
@@christophergibbs2616 Judging by all they knew about what was happening when the apocalypse hit, not letting anybody in would be quite reasonable. Also he warned the house owner not to watch the video. He didn't listen and died. He warned the people not to let the obviously shady dude in who ended up killing them all. He also saved Sandra Bullock and died in the process. John Malkovic's character is the unsung hero of this film.
The oddest behavior to me? They're clearly dealing with something supernatural, yet not once do any of them ever pray or make an appeal to God for help, let alone have an intelligent discussion about the nature of the threat they are facing. There's an old saying from wartime "There are no atheist in foxholes." Even if you disagree with that principle, you have to wonder WHY- with the lone exception of the store clerk who writes the fiction/fantasy novels- a discussion on the matter never happens. The only natural explanation I could arrive at was a mass delusion of some sort, but...the people clearly HEAR voices calling to take off their blindfolds, yet the voices don't send them over the edge, so how could that be the case? Yet NONE of them prays, not even the kids? I find that hard to believe. Too bad, it would have been interesting to hear such a discussion.
Why is it that every time we discover something can’t explain yet, the religious people come out and say “hurr durr it must be God or angels or supernatural if we don’t know what it is.” How do you know they’re supernatural? They could be governed by some manner of physics that hasn’t been discovered yet. And if they are supernatural then god allowed them to be there and praying is futile anyway.
I was honestly pissed she named Girl Olympia. Her mother wanted to name her Cinderella. Why have a whole scene pointing that out to completely ignore it.
Maybe i'm stupid but I thought Malorie named them Boy and Girl so that the entity wouldn't be able to coax them with their name like it tries to do to Malorie...
Interesting theory 🤔But wait couldnt the demons just call out Boy and Girl?? I mean it doesnt really matter if they werent given proper names, thats literally all Malorie called them right? I doubt she ever sat them down and explained that to them or even the importance of proper names
@@superkamiguru4615 Thats pretty logical and that's what I thought too but then at the end they say "We don't have names" meaning they knew that Boy and Girl were not actual names but just what Malorie calls them. So maybe they can't be tempted because it holds no real weight to them except if Malorie is the one calling them Boy/Girl?
Ian Loh Ern i mean, near the end where they were almost at the safe house.. the monster pretty much whispered/shouts all the name that was close to her in some way.. so if "Boy" & "Girl" was close to her (evident of the little speech she gave to make "girl" come back to her), why cant the john cena monster give an exception and whisper "Boy" and/or "Girl"? to Malorie to confuse her'?
Exactly! Thats why the thing keeps on calling Mal but only calls the kids right at the end of the movie *with Mels voice* (cause shes with them) and not Tom’s, the kids liked Tom the better, his voice would be more efficient in telling the kids to take a look
I love your take and approach to these reviews. Even when I don't agree with you, your justifications are valid enough that coupled the sarcasm and humor you still win me over! Great job and thank you for your content!
When I saw what the sanctuary was, I really thought the twist would be that they had to be permanently blinded to live in peace from the monsters, like the personal dilemma in that H. G. Wells story.
Yeaah, I honestly had the feeling that they would be given the ultimatum of 'extract your eyes or we won't let you in' kinda shit because being sighted they can still be dangerous to others...
Yup in, the book the sncutary is the same but alot more people blind thesemves in addition to the just blind people. including boy girl and the main character they blind themselves I belive when they get there.
@@ashwhiting7056 i kinda prefer the movie version where boy and girl keep there sight becasue they get to see and play with all the other children like tom said.
This movie is just another case of a good book being condensed into too small of a time span and being hurt in the process. A lot of the issues in the movie, besides the bad characters, was just because they had to cut elements from the story. I think the biggest difference is the flashback scenes take place over months as Bullock's character in the book deals with the fact of being more and more pregnant during the end of world. The two really build on eachother, which is lost in the movie.
It made more sense in the book because they had audio playing on loop by the building. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't put that part in the movie. It would have made more sense, and honestly, that part's pretty sad.
Pepper Salt its not as effective as the other method though because the birds make noise whenever the monster is near, even when they can’t see it. in the book they had a voicemail from tom playing on loop which made more sense because then mallory would definitely know where to go and there’s be no confusion.
@@elevatormusic4000 It's not original though. The Mist. The Happening. That movie where the family couldn't make sounds. A lot of the success is just spending a shit ton of money on a bunch of acclaimed actors and promoting the shit out of it.
The demon was basically buttfucking them at the short distance they had to walk at the end you think it wouldn't try for that long of a walk and not succeed? Plus its harder to ya know walk a long ass time through a forest blindfolded
@@ryancruz8358 Eh, a forest is no harder to walk through blind than a ranging river is to swim blind... the forest actually sounds a lot safer lol, even with a persuasive monster.
Jake Moore The psychological warfare works in this scenario because the kids are easily manipulated and Malorie was mourning Tom’s death, which makes sense here considering she didn’t actually see him die.
Loved your random reference to the Fantasy music video from Dye at 3:06 I haven't thought about that in years. It's so perfectly lovecraftian and I never new.
13:26 I have, and I slammed my face into a wall and now have a huge scar on my chin and lip, and a chipped tooth. And that was in a pool, alone, with no waves or anything that would have made swimming difficult.
Oof very Unlucky and I guess you could say the moral of the story is to not go swimming with your eyes closed otherwise you'll get a big scar and I hope your feeling better now!👍
She didn't hesitate, she looked sad because she understood that Malorie was conflicted about which child to choose and was afraid she would choose her because she loved Boy more.
When he offered it was out of just wanting to please his mother, the girl offered because she understood what was going on and knew the consequences. That hesitation you mentioned was her processing the situation.
Yeah it was pretty clear to me that Malorie had more conflicts with Girl which led to their disconnect. Like Girl not listening to Malorie and leaving the boat to try and save her.

There's getting the attention of your audience, then there's lying. If you say "why this movie sucks", then you say "it doesn't suck at all, it just has flaws", then you knew what you were doing. That would be called a review or a breakdown, and either of those would've brought an audience.
To be honest blind people have the advantage in this movie.
Zachary Palacio you do realize that the blind people are doomed to be easy prey to the people being controlled by the monsters right ? Along with the fact that you have the leader Rick just giving away his position to strangers so they’re all doomed . This movie was just trash .
Ezra Muluken that literally makes no sense but I mean we’re talking about bird box so I guess making sense isn’t required
@@anthonydominguez4744The blind would be completly fine because they can't see the monsters (that's kinda the definition of blind) and the people who can still have the blindfolds

I was really annoyed that Greg said it was a heat camera but it wasn’t... like,,, he said that right??
I'm right with you there. I was so upset when they showed the monitor and it was literally just an image of outside. He said that he'd just be reading heat signatures or whatever.
If I remember correctly, he was talking about the image, the monitor's heat, not a heat camera. And it was a plan worth trying to know if you could indirectly see the creature; like the serpent from Harry Potter, which didn't kill if looked through a mirror.
@@herborbord8958 In the context of the situation, "heat from the monitor" makes absolutely no sense.
@@isaacsmith2997 Monitors emit heat, he was describinn why he thought it would work. He said pixels, heat, i think colors, etc. It makes sense just think about it.
I was so confused to be honest, I'm thinking that maybe he lied bc his husband had died and he wanted to go too......... idek, but that wouldn't make sense either, he could have just killed himself from the beginning. OR NETFLIX OVERLOOKED THAT WHOLE SCENE.

Douglas
Honestly that’s my life motto
I loved the metaphors with his response to "why did you have a problem with my expansion" to "because I have to see it" all the way to being told by his murderer "it's a shame you couldn't see it" because the truth is he always did see (the reality of the situation). His bullshit detector went off with the holey story of that man who walked in and the old woman knocked him unconscious, not seeing the obvious
You just came up with the new title for this movie.
Bird box should've been a show, it had the potential. It would've been interesting to watch the people living every day life in a post apocalyptic world.

@@romeoramirez4980 no. TV is the alternative to Netflix now

A lot of Netflix movies (like this one presumably) have way bigger budgets than normal TV movies, so they shouldn't look as cheaply/uninspiredly made.
Moral of the story: When John Malkovitch tells you something, you LISTEN.
You had me at it's better than Aquaman
that was like the last thing he said tho...
Oh boy did that age poorly
R u saying that bird box is a good movie cuz if that’s actually what ur talking about then do u not kno that there r so many reviews and they said it’s crap and I agree
KOOK DA RICE
@@lightningandthethunder4114 he’s saying it didn’t age well because when he reviewed aquaman he discovered he actually likes it
I forgot the bald dude name who lost his wife. But he was right through the whole movie. Calling him an asshole for what, because he spit logic and common sense 😁. If only they had listened to him
Because he's white racist xenophobic Trump supporter.
Holy Black man will save the day.
His name was douglas
His character was actually wrong for most of the movie. Remember he wasn't in his own house, defending his family. He was let into his neighbor's house, who he didn't even like, and then he decided that nobody else was allowed in, even though by that logic he would've been dead before the movie started. His "common sense" was basically him being selfish and getting pissed when other people didn't listen to him.
this is also one thing i love about this movie douglas who plays the asshole was not completely an asshole, unlike in other movies where similar character is usually made into the quintessential dick
@@christophergibbs2616 Judging by all they knew about what was happening when the apocalypse hit, not letting anybody in would be quite reasonable. Also he warned the house owner not to watch the video. He didn't listen and died. He warned the people not to let the obviously shady dude in who ended up killing them all. He also saved Sandra Bullock and died in the process. John Malkovic's character is the unsung hero of this film.
The oddest behavior to me? They're clearly dealing with something supernatural, yet not once do any of them ever pray or make an appeal to God for help, let alone have an intelligent discussion about the nature of the threat they are facing.
There's an old saying from wartime "There are no atheist in foxholes." Even if you disagree with that principle, you have to wonder WHY- with the lone exception of the store clerk who writes the fiction/fantasy novels- a discussion on the matter never happens.
The only natural explanation I could arrive at was a mass delusion of some sort, but...the people clearly HEAR voices calling to take off their blindfolds, yet the voices don't send them over the edge, so how could that be the case?
Yet NONE of them prays, not even the kids?
I find that hard to believe. Too bad, it would have been interesting to hear such a discussion.
Yeah live in the real world Karen. Not everybody is religious. If Mal and Tom wasn't religious why would u think they taught boy and girl about 'God'?
@@ponkotuu That statement doesn't make any sense. You don't have to be "religious" to know when natural laws can't account for something.
@@maxm2494 ok boomer
Papapapoww yeah this comeback was trash.
Why is it that every time we discover something can’t explain yet, the religious people come out and say “hurr durr it must be God or angels or supernatural if we don’t know what it is.” How do you know they’re supernatural? They could be governed by some manner of physics that hasn’t been discovered yet. And if they are supernatural then god allowed them to be there and praying is futile anyway.
I was honestly pissed she named Girl Olympia. Her mother wanted to name her Cinderella. Why have a whole scene pointing that out to completely ignore it.
Maybe i'm stupid but I thought Malorie named them Boy and Girl so that the entity wouldn't be able to coax them with their name like it tries to do to Malorie...
That was the point, he just didn’t get it cause he’s not smart 💀💀
Interesting theory 🤔But wait couldnt the demons just call out Boy and Girl?? I mean it doesnt really matter if they werent given proper names, thats literally all Malorie called them right? I doubt she ever sat them down and explained that to them or even the importance of proper names
@@superkamiguru4615 Thats pretty logical and that's what I thought too but then at the end they say "We don't have names" meaning they knew that Boy and Girl were not actual names but just what Malorie calls them. So maybe they can't be tempted because it holds no real weight to them except if Malorie is the one calling them Boy/Girl?
Ian Loh Ern i mean, near the end where they were almost at the safe house.. the monster pretty much whispered/shouts all the name that was close to her in some way.. so if "Boy" & "Girl" was close to her (evident of the little speech she gave to make "girl" come back to her), why cant the john cena monster give an exception and whisper "Boy" and/or "Girl"? to Malorie to confuse her'?
Exactly! Thats why the thing keeps on calling Mal but only calls the kids right at the end of the movie *with Mels voice* (cause shes with them) and not Tom’s, the kids liked Tom the better, his voice would be more efficient in telling the kids to take a look

When I saw what the sanctuary was, I really thought the twist would be that they had to be permanently blinded to live in peace from the monsters, like the personal dilemma in that H. G. Wells story.
Yeaah, I honestly had the feeling that they would be given the ultimatum of 'extract your eyes or we won't let you in' kinda shit because being sighted they can still be dangerous to others...
Apparently in the book many survivors blind themselves.
Yup in, the book the sncutary is the same but alot more people blind thesemves in addition to the just blind people. including boy girl and the main character they blind themselves I belive when they get there.

This movie is just another case of a good book being condensed into too small of a time span and being hurt in the process. A lot of the issues in the movie, besides the bad characters, was just because they had to cut elements from the story. I think the biggest difference is the flashback scenes take place over months as Bullock's character in the book deals with the fact of being more and more pregnant during the end of world. The two really build on eachother, which is lost in the movie.
I’m happy to not only see your video but also hear my favorite characters theme playing in the background
I totally agree with the ending. It was way too ridiculous that she could just navigate right to that door blindfolded. Hell naw...
It made more sense in the book because they had audio playing on loop by the building. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't put that part in the movie. It would have made more sense, and honestly, that part's pretty sad.
@@iatedanscereal7676 they did....with bird noises
Pepper Salt its not as effective as the other method though because the birds make noise whenever the monster is near, even when they can’t see it. in the book they had a voicemail from tom playing on loop which made more sense because then mallory would definitely know where to go and there’s be no confusion.

Malkovich would’ve been the only one to survive if there weren’t other people to ruin it.
Legit pissed me off when they didnt listen to him
They honestly should of just stayed in the supermarket 😭
Yep make the store great again
But Boy and Girl are different. Twice Boy volunteered right away to look and Girl hesitated. Boy is more like Malorie, which makes sense.
She didn't hesitate, she looked sad because she understood that Malorie was conflicted about which child to choose and was afraid she would choose her because she loved Boy more.
Girl is soft like olimpya
But girl=olimpya wasn't mals child and she thought mal loved boy=tom more
When he offered it was out of just wanting to please his mother, the girl offered because she understood what was going on and knew the consequences. That hesitation you mentioned was her processing the situation.
Yeah it was pretty clear to me that Malorie had more conflicts with Girl which led to their disconnect. Like Girl not listening to Malorie and leaving the boat to try and save her.
