BroncosFan2010 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 It was watchable but nothing special. The hype, whether its driven by some behind-the-scenes Netflix social media campaign or old fashioned organic word of mouth, is actively making me hate this movie though. No film this mediocre should be talked about this much. There was nothing special about it, and the ending was campy and lame. Some of Sandra's scenes were cringe worthy too. Its not a horrible film by any means, but its pure 6.5-7 / 10 type watchable but not memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataal Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Most people who have told me to watch it say it's basically A Quiet Place, but with blindfolds. I don't know if I can handle another movie like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils1854 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Its awful. Nothing happens. There is no tension. Tons of plot holes, and awful dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 shlocky, yet intruiging for the first 1.5 hours ending was trite and cheap and lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also kind of wish they had gone with the ending the book did, as weird as it was and as much as it would've freaked people out. is the book worth reading then?

Buckrock101 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I agree with the general sentiment that this movie was decent, but nothing special. Perfectly watchable, sure, but not anything groundbreaking. The writing was pretty thin, and the ending was pretty flat. It's supposed to be a positive note to end on, but it's really not positive at all when you think about it. All those people are still stuck in that place for maybe the rest of their lives. Tbh I was kinda hoping that when Rick was revealed it turned out to be someone from an earlier scene who had the funky eyes. I also don't like when they do one of these kind of movies without providing any basis for what is happening. Like if it's a zombie movie or a pandemic movie, it's a virus, sure. If it's an exorcist kind of movie, it's because of god/the devil. But this movie, it's just that there's a thing that's turning everyone crazy, and that's it. No background of why it happened or anything more than that. Kinda makes it hard to buy into the universe of the movie. I definitely think Netflix has some guerilla social marketing campaign with this, paying people to post memes and crap. And it's working I guess, since they got me to watch it. But it's an extremely alright movie, nothing more nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Solid movie. Nothing special but there’s definitely going to be more to this movie. Likely a prequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am far from a conspiracy theorist, but it is kind of odd how there were hundreds of movies released in 2018 and this movie had more memes than all others combined, it seemed like. And, those other movies were generally huge box office titles. Marvel/DC movies, mostly. I seriously thought that this movie was some massively hyped movie that had come out, everyone went to the theater to see it on release day, and I had been living under a rock. When I found out it was a Netflix thing....I couldn't understand what the heck was going on. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 i thought all the memes were because this movie was so dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The only other reasonable (and non conspiracy thing) helping this movie's hype is the fact that schools are out for two weeks, and colleges for three. So a bunch of 13-21 year-old students have so much extra time on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes more risks than the movie, and at least somewhat does a better job of trying to explain what is going on, so for that alone it's better than the adaptation.
