With this Neflix only released film, Netflix has come of age. Starring Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich. It had little pre-publicity that I'm aware of, but it has gone viral on social media since it was released a few days ago. If that was the plan then it has been cleverly achieved. I'm watching it right now and it is puzzling and genuinely frightening - a big contrast to the usual horror films made today that are just gory.
The film is split between two time frames. One is the start of the phenomena, an ominous unseen presence that drives most of society to suicide, seemingly the end of the world. The second is set five years later, when a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety.
