I Love Horror Movies

Number nine on my never finished, ever being added to list of favorite horror movies: The Bird Box. The first scene is intense and terrifying as you are trying to figure out why Sandra Bullock would speak this way to tiny children, and you don't really lose that tension the whole movie. The acting is, as is most of my favorites, excellent. The relationship between Sandra Bullock and Tom was one I didn't think I'd believe, but I absolutely did. I love not seeing the monster, because really - does it matter? Most intense and terrifying is the storyline of her relationship with the children. The scene as they approached the rapids just tore my guts out. Ok that isn't horror but it was a horrific moment. The monsters calling to them in voices of their loved ones feels less scary to me than other ways of tricking people; it seems too contrived, and too human, really. I prefer monsters that act like monsters. But overall, I really enjoyed this movie, and the soft bubbly happy ending was sooo needed! Not often I want to see that in a horror movie but come on - it's little kids. Just my kind of movie.
