For one thing, it was very well acted by a really outstanding cast. Let me start by saying there are a lot of things this movie did right. It was written by Eric Heisserer (who also wrote Arrival, which I loved, and Lights Out, which I…didn’t) and directed by Susanne Bier, who had experience with directing book adaptations as one of her previous projects was The Night Manager (starring Tom Hiddleston and adapted from the John Le Carre novel). The movie adaptation is a Netflix original movie starring Sandra Bullock, as well as Trevante Rhodes and John Malkovich (kind of exciting to see some major star power coming to the streaming service). On the other hand, you know the movie probably won’t be as good as the book, you’re worried that the source material will be totally ruined in the process, and if you’re anything like me, you know tons of people are going to try to tell you about this great new movie they saw while they have no idea it’s actually based a book, let alone one of your favorite books.Įither way, I was equal parts excited and very apprehensive about the release of Bird Box the movie. On one hand, you’re excited, because maybe the book you love will get more attention, and you get to see a creative mind’s interpretation of the material you liked so much. However, when you really, really enjoy a book, it usually causes some warring emotions about the upcoming movie adaptation. If you recall from my initial review of Bird Box, I actually bumped it way up on my TBR when I found out it was being adapted into a film because I wanted to make absolutely sure I’d read the book before I saw the movie.Īnd I have no regrets about that, because I loved it so much. Instagram // Box, the horror novel by Josh Malerman, is easily one of my favorite books, and one of the top books I read in 2018.
