Bird Box as well. I liked the premise, I just found the execution to be lacking. Bullock was fine in the lead. Didn't care much about the Malkovich character. At times it did build up some suspense, but things got bogged down by some poor stylistic decisions (like having a flashback to something that happened a few minutes ago, showing things that would have been more effective if left ambiguous etc.) and character development that wasn't completely unrelatable, but got pushed to comical extremes. There were also a few scenes that were supposed to be suspenseful, but made me chuckle instead. That's down to the stylistic decisions though. And yeah, gotta agree that it's very small screeny. Especially after having watched the series The Haunting Of Hill House shortly after, which has amazing sets, moody lighting and overall a great production value. Compared to that, Bird Box seems like a made-for-TV movie.
