Netflix Movie: ***Bird In a Cage (2018)

*** Bird in a Cage  (2018 Netflix)  There is something out there that if you see it you will be compelled to commit suicide.  Your only hope is to make sure you don’t see whatever it is.  So you use cover all the windows, and beyond that you always wear a blindfold.  However, when other persons show up whose mission it is to make you see whatever it might be, then it is just a matter of time until everyone will be dead.  However there is some hope, a place you have contacted over the CB band radio.  However the journey is perilous.  A couple who did not make it, Tom (Trevante Rhodes) who for a time had made a partnership with Malorie (Sandra Bullock).  They have two children, one Malorie’s and the other of a friend who did not make it.  Douglas (John Malkovich) was the most wary of strangers.  But even he did not make it.  Tom dies as they are leaving, making it possible for Malorie to get to the river and into a boat, which they must navigate blind folded.  All goes well, until they were almost dumped by the current, but their food supply went overboard.  The must go to land to find supplies, and this is really tense.  Not only is there hazards, but the entity seems to know your friends and tries to call you and confuse you.    The thing is never just seen, just leaves that blow in the air, and the birds in a box that get really excited when the thing is close.  Never is a monster worse than the one you never see.  Great fun but too much swearing and violence.  Sheri and I watched this by ourselves when everyone was gone as we didn’t want everyone to see.  I love Sandra Bullock in just about any roll.
