Working from script by Eric Heisserer ( Arrival), the Danish Oscar winner for In a Better World needs to rely on the group dynamic among survivors to generate suspense. That’s the trap director Susanne Bier finds herself in. Not because we’d all commit suicide if we did more likely it’s because we wouldn’t be that scared.
You can see how this strong premise would work for a while … until, well, it doesn’t.īased on the bestseller by Josh Malerman, this adaptation teases us with monsters we never actually witness.
Lay your eyes on one of these extraterrestrials, and you immediately want to kill yourself - throwing yourself in front of a car, or bus, or whatever is handy.
Remember A Quiet Place, which created a post-apocalyptic world in which aliens would pop out and kill you if you made a single sound? Bird Box is pretty much the same story, except it’s looking at the creatures from another planet that will end your days on earth.
