Birdbox

[Mynameisntmaud]

When I first saw/ heard of this film I thought no way, mum and kids not my thing, worst fear having/ Not being able to protect my children so watching it would be horrendous. But lots of people saying it's really good.

Have you seen it?
Is it good?
Is it scary?

It's really good. Not scary just very intense

Finished watching it last night, loved it !
Would really recommend.

I have read the book it's based on and will watch the film over the weekend. Nothing bad happens to the children in the book so I'm not worried (hate stuff like that)

Ooh i know I'll have a love hate relationship with it. I've had 3/4 a bottle of wine though so maybe now is the time to brave it! I'm not good with scary things. Love Sandra bullock though too

Not particularly scary but full of plot holes

Are you all horror lovers though? I'm a rom com girl but something's drawing me to watch this

Not scary but a scary concept if you put it into real life context and very tense. My worst fear is anything like this with children. I have three kids and I know something this major/the end of the world etc with kids would be absolutely heartbreaking and almost impossible so once I start putting into real life context it terrifies me. Decent film though.

As usual, the book is better than the film but it is pretty decent

I enjoyed the film, haven't read the book though.

The book is much better but the film is pretty good.

I'm not into scary / horror films but I enjoyed this one. It was very intense.

Does the book cover the obvious plot holes? I enjoyed it mostly but was left pretty disappointed.

As other posters have said book inevitably better but I really enjoyed the film. Incredibly tense at times and I felt myself literally sitting on the edge of my sofa.

I did well up at some of the scenes, pretty harrowing at times.

I haven't read the book.
I watched the trailer and had a nightmare about it, it scared me! The film was good, very tense and an interesting horror concept. I enjoyed it.

The end of the book is different and much harsher. Imo the main plot holes aren’t covered though.

Ok I'm gonna do it. Will report back haha

Just watched it, not bad. Good build up but bit of an anti-climactic end.

Ooh i enjoyed it. Glad no monsters were shown. What are the huge plot holes?

The book really grabbed me; tense and unnerving.

The film was OK; not particularly scary though.

God, I thought it was utter garbage

Watched Miss Sloane the night after and thought that was great.

The use of leaves and trees made Bird Box too similar to The Happening.

I just felt it left too many unanswered questions. Would be interested to know if the book gives you more. I have seen several books to film and the books usually give you those answers and more.

I'm with DonDraper, thought it was rubbish.

I liked it. Also my worst fears of not being able to protect children played out in this.

Plot holes, for starters, why had the bad-no-blindfold-people never discovered the safe haven blind school at the end? And where did they get supplies from, so secluded in the woods!?

I enjoyed it but DD thought it was rubbish as she didn't see how being confronted with a maths exam would make people kill themselves.
