The amount of safety regulations you'd have to overlook to allow the construction of a school for the blind deep in the woods next to a violent river leaves me without words.
It's like a boarding school in the woods, similar to a camp. It makes sense that it would be difficult to get to currently because nobody has been able to maintain the paths and roads in over 5 years, which means all of that stuff has been overgrown and hidden by the forest.
How to beat Bird Box: Step 1: Hold a hand-held mirror in front of your face. Step 2: Make the monsters look at the mirror. Step 3: Wait for the monsters to kill themselves. Step 4: *Profit.*
Also it bothers me that Marlorie litterally raised these two children for 5 years, but the way she talks to them and interacts, it looks like she just found them yesterday.
Yeah it's addressed in the movie? She deliberately does this to not allow bonds to be too strong, she's heard the rumours, she's seen things first hand and had personal reports of loved ones being used against them by the monsters. Had she have been too affectionate the kids probably would've died by the end especially the last 20 minutes scene. You can see her finally thinking she could potentially start being a proper mother once she's in the final area of the movie and they are finally safe for good
Michael Evans So if she does care for the kids they’re somehow more prone to be mentally challenged and look at the demons they’ve been raised since birth not to look at? 😂 And this isn’t even mentioning the fact that if she doesn’t care for them then WHY THE HELL DID SHE RAISE THEM FOR FIVE YEARS LMAO
AbbytheAussie The were trying to make it seem like Malorie was honoring Olympia by naming girl after her but god damn! She asked her to take care of her baby if anything happened AND told her exactly what name she wanted. If you wanna be respectful of your dead pregnancy friend, TAKE CARE OF THE KID AND NAME HER WHAT THE MOM WANTED. Rant over😂
Sarena A It’s not her fault she’s a moron. I was glad when she yeeted herself out the window, but damn she should still have the choice of her daughter’s name
To be fair, Cinderella is the kind of name that 1. makes you crack up knowing that it is a real person's name 2. would make people not taking you seriously, something you wouldn't want in a post-apocalyptic world 3. not that it matters much in a post-apocalyptic world but it would make you a bullying target
Missed 2 big sins: 1. Two little kid that could not have learned to swim surviving hardcore freezing rapids while blindfolded. 2. And the worst ever!! The fact they in the end they are imprisoned at the blind school while the creatures and evil people (who can enter) will continue to threaten them forever without the slightest glimmer of resolution. PS. How the f**k do you even feed a hundred+ people (at the end) if you can’t go outside!? No farming or raising animals or hunting.
Mark Kazmier 1) is true 2) there were people there that could see because Malory and the kids were told to take their blindfolds off when they made it there. And the last scene they were outside ish when they let the birds go.
The biggest sin for me was that Tom completely ignored Douglas when he was telling him Gary had put the freakin birds in the freezer! I mean just listen to him!!!
The biggest sin for me was the intro of the movie practically told you what was going to happen. Once we found out her and Olympia was pregnant we could summarize that Malorie was the sole survivor with the 2 kids on the river. That was literally my issue the whole movie there were tons of key moments that were predictable 3 scenes before they happened.
I’m currently shopping my new script around Hollywood. It’s about fecal monsters that can’t hurt you unless you smell them. The characters all have to navigate the post-apocalyptic earth with nose plugs. It’s called “Turd Box.”
I’m surprised they didn’t make a bigger deal out of the strawberry pop tarts bit. She doesn’t even clarify that it’s the filling that’s strawberry flavored. If I was one of those kids I would assume she was saying strawberries tasted like a general pastry. Not to mention the fact that those pop tarts are FIVE YEARS OLD!
Jas M But still statistically, two pregnant women outta the whole cast of characters is unlikely. I get that the whole apocalypse thing is fiction but if they try to make it as close to reality, they should look at the numbers.
I literally never understood why they didn't go back to the house, get the rest of the people ((and load up on blankets and stuff for comfort)) and live at the fucking grocery store. That's what I would do.
There were TONS of windows at the grocery store... they were covered but the store was much more vulnerable being out in the open rather than tucked away in a suburb... also given the fact that most people would flock to a grocery store
Have you not seen The Mist or Walking dead? Stores are good for scaveging/looting,living off the apocalypse because you have a bountiful supply of food but bear in mind other people will come to raid you or the creatures will some way some how get in to kill them.Second where will they take a shower,cook their food,or properly barricade or defend themselves? not all grocery stores have cooking stoves or grills,some may have kitchen utensils like knives and stuff but I dunno,still I agree with you why didn't they just hauled the others ass back to the store.
@@williamjames7293 pretty sure that when the apocalypse happens you won't have access to running water, gas, or electricity. Showers dont matter in any location
I was baffled by how they do not emotionally and physically collapse when they reach the blind school. The children are just like yeah we've just been on the river for two days straight or however long, probably starving and with very little sleep, suffering from hypothermia, and after going through the most excruciating emotional torment just now in the forest, but yeah, let's just go play with the kids. Similarly with Mallory I would expect her to break down in tears after the experience followed by the relief.
Reminds me of the rebooted Star Trek movie, where Kirk was abandoned on the moon of Vulcan, and found his way to the remote science station with Scotty. Planet Vulcan just got obliterated. Sucked into a black hole. Gone. The planet his moon orbits is no more. He has a billion sensors that can record the event. But then instead of asking Kirk if he saw the planet get ganked, he spends the next half hour complaining about how he got passed over for promotion. Could it be you're just not that good with technology? I mean here you are in a science lab with blinking lights everywhere and you still think you're orbiting Vulcan.
@@Aeviu Tom's eyes weren't closed when they were inside, and it also could be a coping mechanism. This isn't explicitly stated, of course, but it's not that much of a stretch.
Uh, isn't that the point? That it's obvious to all of us that they don't taste like strawberries, and it's meant to be 'tragic' that they will never get to know the taste of real fresh strawberries and only ever processed shite?
she didn’t really want to get attached to them until she knew it was safe so she called them boy and girl and once she knew it was safe and they would survive she gave them real names
No sins for the gynecologist taking the kids to play with the other kids while they were still cold, wet, likely hungry, possibly injured or at risk of infections/diseases, and most definitely traumatized?
To be fair, she told a pregnant woman that she should consider adoption without being asked. She also does her own routine ultrasounds. This is not a very good ob/gyn.
Because the demon wasn't captured by the news cameras. As in, they "attacked" a massive crowd, somehow drawn in the news AND then just pissed off to hide somewhere so the movie can happen.
Because the entities used emotions against the victims. She did not give them names to make it more difficult for the entities to emotionally manipulate her into looking.

Doing that is gonna make you miss out on interesting movies. Cinema Sins skip over things just so they can give a sin even if that sin was explained in the previous scene in the movie or later on in the movie. Plus. You miss so pretty good scenes the movie had to offer.
I just realized ... did they do anything with BD Wong’s body after he died? Did they just leave him in that room to decompose? That’s rough, especially for the pregnant people with extra sensitive smell.
Not defending this piece of garbage movie or anything. But technically it didn't break it just cracked, which is at least slightly more likely. Still hard to believe though.
lol I write plays and am writing a novel at the moment; I have convinced myself that watching CinemaSins is my research about how to avoid cliches and plotholes :D
@@tathoiclassicalindianbollywood its actually pretty bad becuz he adds sins to things he dislikes personally, don't just take his word for everything freely, re-think on what he just said and form your own opinion, its ok to agree like its ok to disagree. he has been incredibly unfair towads this movie, yes a lot of points were good but so many were just free jabs he personally just found a way to turn them into a negative thing when it really was not
@@jokergoat6405 Very true. Actually, I'm glad you commented about this because while watching, I had a similar thought. He Sinned the movie for NOT overly explaining what was happening and allowing it to unfold so that we discover things when they do. But on damn near every other movie, they Sin the movie BECAUSE it explains things (for example: Gone Girl). They will find a way to sin everything so Ta Thoi should definitely write to please yourself and hope others want to come along for the ride.
This movie took out so many huge things 1. The three dogs 2. They didn't take any birds with them on the river trip 3. Most of the people at the school for the blind had gouged their own eyes out 4. And the scene where the demon tries to take Malorie's blindfold off which I thought was kinda cool 5. I almost forgot, Tom doesn't make it the whole five years with them.
I'm sorry, are you stupid? They did bring 3 birds with them on the river trip, your 4th argument doesn't make any sense with your "This movie took out so many things", and third. That's just a stupid comment tbh.
@@siriice1800 She means that they took out the idea that they didn't take the birds, and in the final cut they took the birds with them. What don't you get about the fourth point?
DeepSpace12 i think its cuz the people didn’t look like they were in pain from seeing it, and gouging out your eyes wouldn’t kill you, it would just hurt.
You know what they should've done? They should've said Malorie was supposed to have twins, but then one of them turns out to be a stillborn, and then she takes in Olympia's child. Would've made it a much better point of suspense and also like solved the non-linear timeline problem. Hell, they could've used that stillborn baby in that scene with Gary and the blanket stuff. Damnit.
Very true, you'd think news coverage alone would ensure the spread would be near instantaneous throughout the world once people started dying anywhere, and people didn't even know for a long time what was causing it. News coverage is way better quality than some grainy static CCTV footage too.
This movie's antagonist had no feasible boundaries for us to understand it, and people were scared of it during the wrong times. Where's the sin for when Mallorie was in a hurry to get inside the school when she wasn't realistically in any danger. It's not like the antagonist could have taken their blindfolds off; the most threatening thing it ever did was blow wind and talk to people.
We are back ladies and gentlemen! Everyone always complains about CinemaSins sins in movies they do lately are just for comedic effect. But this video is almost old school CinemaSins. Everything in this video is an legitimate sin. This movie overall just has so many holes in it that go completely unanswered it is ridiculous.
I KNOW I'M SO EXCITED THERE'S A NEW VIDEO TO ADD TO MY BEST OF CS PLAYLIST 😂. or maybe it's cos there hasn't been a movie they hated this much in a long time 😬
One of my biggest problems (and this happens A LOT in horror/apocalypse/action films) is how by the end of her 5 year journey living in an apocalypse world, row boating and running around the woods, her face is still perfectly clean with makeup and no dirt. But her hands had some mud rubbed off on them! Lmao
It's not because it's the apocalypse that you can't wash yourself or wear makeup! Their lives seem pretty normal, except for the occasional scavenging.
That is malorie. It is her decision. Just because somebody promised something in a movie it doesn't mean it is going to happen. Just like in real life.
Shadow Storm12 YEP, that bugged me too!. Obviously it's Mallory's decision, but it still was a little disappointing. Mallory bonded with Olympia, she was such a sweetheart, and she helped her with accepting and embracing motherhood. It just felt thoughtless when she blurted out Olivia, I was like "Wait, did she say Olympia?" Because it would have been more satisfying if she had named her after her mother, if she wasn't going to name her either of the names Olympia wanted.
@@ヴァイオレット-o3k It was just a very weird moment in the film, when she can clearly see them, and one of the kids is her own, but instead of calling them by their names, she refers to them by their gender.
@@trollmanable ah I know when it happened but I meant like what does the 'dog' and 'kitty' supposed to mean in the movie context? are they holding some plushies or it literally meant like in 'the talk' thingy
What never ceases to amaze me is how movies never explain how people survive in a post-apocalyptic world. How much food needs to grown, harvested and preserved and how people would barely be eating one meal a day. Everyone would be malnourished and have serious vitamin deficiency related diseases. There be no more 'herd-immunity' and that everything will eventually run out...clothing, tea, coffee, sugar, fuel and medicine. It would be a brutal existence, but I guess an audience isn't expected to ask these things and movie makers are too lazy to explain it.
@retsaM innavoiG This movie covers a five year period, so items would've run out by then. And that's what I mean, no long term survival solutions are ever shown in movies.
But if its apocalypse into post then the amount of people we see dying off saves the whole food argument, less people around less worries about diminishing food. That worry mostly comes once you're in post apocalypse and are attempting to set up something like society despite the fact everything was ruined and even possibly contaminated and realistically you're close to death by starvation... also when it flashes 5 years forward all you see is her and bf and kids.... makes sense for small units and since everyone else had died or been eaten that's why the food source was sustainable for them... the hidden away community makes no sense though unless they already grew their own food and kept previous crops and seeds from other harvests to sow into the next (which since they're by a major water source could work) if that's the case the only real worry is too many "badasses" not being killed off by monsters or someone who insists they wont live on a vegan diet ... (but they also had birds soo that could be solved too~)
This is gonna be incredibly random but Thank you CinemaSins. This movie gave me relentless nightmares about death and fear my entire 8th grade year when it came out. It took me so long to get over it. I saw this video in my recommended about 2 years or so ago and was hesitant to watch it but I'm glad I did. You turned something that caused me so much fear into something I could laugh at.
I got the book around three years before the movie came out. It was an amazing book and I loved it. I saw that the movie was coming out so I got super excited. I watched it and was disappointed. Don't discredit the book though. It is good. They put mattresses on the window instead, the people at the end have gouged out their eyes instead of being a school for the blind, there are actual explanations, and its overall just a good book. And there's a dog!
I know right? The book was awesome! Unlike the movie, which was "(a sitty) horror", it was an "existential horror". The storyline is much better than this. Also the movie went fucking mainstream. Though it was really a school for blind.
@@SmokeDog1871 It is not explained why the dog was alright. Sb correct me if I'm mistaken. And these creatures, according to Garry, were humans. Humans were supposedly the creatures they feared. Though after reading the whole book, you never got to know what the creature actually is. It doesn't deny the fact that it could actually be humans. They are left unexplained, which is quite uncomforting. In the epilogue, the author explains a few things. You should read the book, my explanation is crap.
Yknow who wouldn't have had a problem with this movie's dangers? Toph. She'd never see em coming but once she hears those ghost demons...they'd wish they didnt mess with Toph. EDIT: Holy smokes guys I didn't expect more than 5 likes
Also, when they tied the guy to the chair in the monitor room, why couldn’t at least one person stay in the room just in case bad things happen? Like if the guy starts trying to commit suicide every way possible, then leap in and try to stop the guy. Drag the chair away from the computer, put him elsewhere. Maybe in the process, learn if an afflicted person can go back to being normal
That was too confusing to watch. I expected someone to wait at least outside the room after people started to leave... then suddenly everyone went downstairs. Damn you, people!
My biggest gripe: the demons can’t come indoors...BECAUSE WHY? The entire movie hinges on this single premise, which makes no sense logically and is never explained. It’s like the aliens in “Signs” that can’t open doors. Idiotic.
Uhm, no. This isn't in a way a great movie or even a particularly good one, but your criticism is entirely invalid. Your reasoning is that you're entitled to an explanation. You aren't. Movies don't have to explain you _anything_, really: you have a brain that features functions known as "deduction", "induction", "imagination" and so on. Use them.
@@999SickBoy666 Actually, one rule of storytelling is that you must hold the suspension of disbelief; if your work has too many holes and doesn't have a clear structure, your audience is going to pick up on that, and they'll lose interest. You can't analyze a story that doesn't give you anything to work with. If you have to construct your own reasoning for how the basic premise of the story works, then the storyteller has failed their job. They're supposed to explain the basic structure of the world and the plot, and then leave the TINY things for people to fill in the blanks.
Uhm, I never claimed I was entitled to an explanation. My point was that the premise is illogical, regardless of explanation. The fact that my mind was dwelling on this, rather than enjoying the story makes my criticism perfectly valid. Thank you for your pretentious response though.
Shadé Palmer Or they could just... break through the doorway? Or actually, DUCK?! Or go through the windows? I get what you’re saying, and I’m sure if we asked the developer, he’d say the SAME thing, but that’s because he obviously doesn’t know why either. Just saying, he’d agree with us because he himself has absolutely NO idea what’s really going on. A 13 year old could have made a better script than this, lolz 😂 Anyways, God Bless!
you forgot one sin. if the monsters kills you when you see them, if you have a mirror and put it in front of your face, does they kill themselves ? that's a question that we might never know... until the next season !
What I find the most difficult to believe is the fact that Malorie recognises the gynaecologist after five years of blind apocalypse. Assuming she only knew her from that one appointment, I wouldn't even remember the gynaecologist's name two weeks after the appointment. I certainly wouldn't remember her face after five years. And here apparently, she's still able to connect her name to her face and remember both, after only seeing her once and not seeing her again for five years. Unless she was her regular gynaecologist or she has photographic memory or both, it is highly unlikely that either of them would be able to recognise each other after five years. I simply cannot believe that they would recognise each other immediately upon their meeting in the school for the blind.
Unless it's one of the last other people you ever met. Remember the face of the guard who locked you in solitary confinement for a year? Yeah, how can I forget that face?
@@protorhinocerator142but she not only met people after she met significant numbers of them in quick succession who then risked her life for and with. No way is she remembering one gyno.
He was saying the actors were not invested in the movie and were probably playing on their phones instead of putting any effort into their acting. He could have worded that sin way better, though.
Next one is going to be called "Tasteless" where you are not allowed to taste any flavor and if you do then you will get killed by a monster that is never shown for some reason
@@yeahkeen2905 Wrong, there is a sense of tension to the reveal and a plausible danger when you get to see the antagonist. Done correctly (take the new "IT" for example) it gives a solid reason for the characters to act the way they do. Yes, there is merit in the "faceless menace" approach, but it usually just leaves the audience feeling disinterested and unconnected with the characters reason for fear. That isn't "storytelling", it's lazy script.
Enyo Sarac it? Really? The movie that showed its monster in the first five minutes that’s what you’re saying built up tension. Lol ok. The movie the damn near everybody said they forgot was even a horror movie because for the second half of the movie it primarily feels like a coming-of-age adolescent story… Without any monsters or tension. To each his own I suppose.
How about the monster captures you, and then tries to force feed you. The only things you can survive on are avocados and water. You know, things that don't have flavor. And the monsters are all black and white and called "salt-n-pepperans"
I don’t understand why Malorie thought it was the best time to tell Olympia’s daughter how beautiful the world is when she’s literally about to open her eyes, like what the heck.
Forgot to add a sin for when they were in the Rapids and they fell out of the boat, both kids stayed above the water even though the movie never suggested that either of them knew how to swim. Edit: Also, how did the birds live in a cardboard box with holes when the boat fell
Zzig yeah sure... in a fucking pool of course... the kids fell to FUCKING RAPIDS, not even the best in the world would survive that shit the river will drag you to your death with no mercy
Im suprised you guys didn't sin the part where the Demons call out to the kids telling them to take off their blind folds when you could clearly see the demons steam roll through the forest and interact with the world around them. So why wouldn't the demons just take their blind folds off?
The thing that scares me is that if this was real, there would a huge political problem in America about whether or not you’re okay with going outside and wearing a blindfold
@@EzekielMitchell98 white people? Not trying to sound like y'all but isnt grouping an entire race into one category stereotyping at best? Trump had the highest minority vote of any Republican since I believe Reagan, American's liked Trump not just white people.
like, how in five years could you actually manage to refer to two kids that you raised as 'boy' and 'girl'? like, I could conceivably see not officially naming them for some flimsy reason, but realistically they would have defaulted into endearments and nicknames eventually. I guarantee, a year in and 'boy' and 'girl' would have naturally become 'honey' and 'sweetheart' or something without anyone realizing it. Honestly, I see all this and I can't really see this as 'she learned the wonders of motherhood' but rather 'she gets a gold star for not being a COMPLETE sociopath, but yeah she was totally right about how she shouldn't be a mother. there was an attempt, but that attempt failed.'
Nah, she was a better mother than the other chick. Also, she probably named them boy and girl to either not get attached, or because she didn't have the will to actually want to give them names in the world they live in. She cared about survival not all the hope stuff her essential husband blabbed on about, and she lived. Also, I wouldn't be calling my daughter or son sweetheart and honey in an apocalyptic world.
+Adrianna Arcuri I think it had more to do with trying to keep them from becoming too attached. She was obviously attached, as every act that meant them staying with her, decreased her chance of survival. However, we see in the film where she goes off on 'girl' because if there is a problem the children are not supposed to stay to help, they are to save themselves. This was definitely not the standard she herself was living by. I think she figured, that while fear would quickly override the sense of 'how will we get food' in the moment, where they might lose their mother figure, there was a chance love and loyalty would cause them to hesitate (which we see it had ), and she, as the mother, had to do everything she could to make sure she wasn't the reason her children died.
It actually makes sense if you think about it. If you name something you personalize it, you get closer to it. It's that much harder if you lose it. She had to think it was just a matter of time before the children died. That's why she DID finally name them after they reached, "safety." Honey and sweet heart would do the same thing.
I rewatch these literally all the time because I love movies and I appreciate all the extra movie references in the script. especially the galaxy quest reference. "IS THERE AIR?!? YOU DON'T KNOW!"
@@stevehartwick5764 Again, hypothermia. The river scene took place until winter, and it took them more than a day to row on said river. They'd freeze to death in a few hours, if that.
This whole movie was over hyped and when I watched it, I was greatly disappointed. Interesting idea, horrible way of showing it. It felt dragged out. I also don't understand why people are saying this movie is scary when it barely had any suspenseful scenes (or at least, it WASN'T suspenseful enough) and focused more on dialogue. But for the most part, *the over hype and extreme advertisement for this movie ruined it.*
Ferraro La Reine The only thing that freaked me out was when the crazy guy they let in because Olympia is a moron ends up killing most of them. And that was mostly just anger because no one tries to attack him until everyone is basically dead anyway.
Any suspense it COULD have had was ruined by showing the two different timelines like that. We already know Malory and 2 children live. She is pregnant with ONE child, so we know blonde woman's child survives at least thru the pregnancy. Essentially 2 characters are given blanket godmode for the first half of the story. She's alone so MOST of the other people will leave or die. "Or both."
@@frankm.2850 It's an old woman who tries to get help but is overpowered, and two women who JUST gave birth. They'd have to be wonder woman to even get out of bed right then.

Missed 2 big sins:
1. Two little kid that could not have learned to swim surviving hardcore freezing rapids while blindfolded.
2. And the worst ever!! The fact they in the end they are imprisoned at the blind school while the creatures and evil people (who can enter) will continue to threaten them forever without the slightest glimmer of resolution.
PS. How the f**k do you even feed a hundred+ people (at the end) if you can’t go outside!? No farming or raising animals or hunting.
Mark Kazmier 1) is true 2) there were people there that could see because Malory and the kids were told to take their blindfolds off when they made it there. And the last scene they were outside ish when they let the birds go.

The biggest sin for me was that Tom completely ignored Douglas when he was telling him Gary had put the freakin birds in the freezer! I mean just listen to him!!!
He took the birds out of the freezer first so he obviously listened to him. Also he killed Gary.
The biggest sin for me was the intro of the movie practically told you what was going to happen. Once we found out her and Olympia was pregnant we could summarize that Malorie was the sole survivor with the 2 kids on the river.

I’m surprised they didn’t make a bigger deal out of the strawberry pop tarts bit. She doesn’t even clarify that it’s the filling that’s strawberry flavored. If I was one of those kids I would assume she was saying strawberries tasted like a general pastry. Not to mention the fact that those pop tarts are FIVE YEARS OLD!
ikr that scene was literally just a pop tart ad
edit-sp
5 years old? Try 25 years old. They're played by the same actor as Pulp Fiction in '94
Didn't think of that, now i wanna vomit
I thought of this. It's artificially flavored with a chemical imitation of strawberries, nothing like the taste of actual berries.
But Tom likes them stale..

I literally never understood why they didn't go back to the house, get the rest of the people ((and load up on blankets and stuff for comfort)) and live at the fucking grocery store. That's what I would do.
There were TONS of windows at the grocery store... they were covered but the store was much more vulnerable being out in the open rather than tucked away in a suburb... also given the fact that most people would flock to a grocery store
Have you not seen The Mist or Walking dead? Stores are good for scaveging/looting,living off the apocalypse because you have a bountiful supply of food but bear in mind other people will come to raid you or the creatures will some way some how get in to kill them.Second where will they take a shower,cook their food,or properly barricade or defend themselves? not all grocery stores have cooking stoves or grills,some may have kitchen utensils like knives and stuff but I dunno,still I agree with you why didn't they just hauled the others ass back to the store.

I was baffled by how they do not emotionally and physically collapse when they reach the blind school.
The children are just like yeah we've just been on the river for two days straight or however long, probably starving and with very little sleep, suffering from hypothermia, and after going through the most excruciating emotional torment just now in the forest, but yeah, let's just go play with the kids.
Similarly with Mallory I would expect her to break down in tears after the experience followed by the relief.
Reminds me of the rebooted Star Trek movie, where Kirk was abandoned on the moon of Vulcan, and found his way to the remote science station with Scotty.
Planet Vulcan just got obliterated. Sucked into a black hole. Gone. The planet his moon orbits is no more. He has a billion sensors that can record the event.
But then instead of asking Kirk if he saw the planet get ganked, he spends the next half hour complaining about how he got passed over for promotion.
Could it be you're just not that good with technology? I mean here you are in a science lab with blinking lights everywhere and you still think you're orbiting Vulcan.

This movie's antagonist had no feasible boundaries for us to understand it, and people were scared of it during the wrong times. Where's the sin for when Mallorie was in a hurry to get inside the school when she wasn't realistically in any danger. It's not like the antagonist could have taken their blindfolds off; the most threatening thing it ever did was blow wind and talk to people.
This movie is basically The Happening without vengeful plants
And *slightly* less goofy dialogue. And a crap ton more plot holes.
We are back ladies and gentlemen! Everyone always complains about CinemaSins sins in movies they do lately are just for comedic effect. But this video is almost old school CinemaSins.

Also, you didn't sin the fact that Olympia clearly told Malorie what she wanted Girl to be named, yet Malorie disregared her last wishes.
That is malorie. It is her decision. Just because somebody promised something in a movie it doesn't mean it is going to happen. Just like in real life.

This line got me.
What never ceases to amaze me is how movies never explain how people survive in a post-apocalyptic world. How much food needs to grown, harvested and preserved and how people would barely be eating one meal a day. Everyone would be malnourished and have serious vitamin deficiency related diseases. There be no more 'herd-immunity' and that everything will eventually run out...clothing, tea, coffee, sugar, fuel and medicine. It would be a brutal existence, but I guess an audience isn't expected to ask these things and movie makers are too lazy to explain it.
That’s why I prefer the book.
@retsaM innavoiG This movie covers a five year period, so items would've run out by then. And that's what I mean, no long term survival solutions are ever shown in movies.
There is still "The Road" (2009). It got everything just right. It also got Aragorn.
I guess the post apocalyptic world of the Mad Max franchise is waaaaay more on point then.
But if its apocalypse into post then the amount of people we see dying off saves the whole food argument, less people around less worries about diminishing food. That worry mostly comes once you're in post apocalypse and are attempting to set up something like society despite the fact everything was ruined and even possibly contaminated and realistically you're close to death by starvation... also when it flashes 5 years forward all you see is her and bf and kids.... makes sense for small units and since everyone else had died or been eaten that's why the food source was sustainable for them... the hidden away community makes no sense though unless they already grew their own food and kept previous crops and seeds from other harvests to sow into the next (which since they're by a major water source could work) if that's the case the only real worry is too many "badasses" not being killed off by monsters or someone who insists they wont live on a vegan diet ... (but they also had birds soo that could be solved too~)

This is gonna be incredibly random but Thank you CinemaSins. This movie gave me relentless nightmares about death and fear my entire 8th grade year when it came out. It took me so long to get over it. I saw this video in my recommended about 2 years or so ago and was hesitant to watch it but I'm glad I did. You turned something that caused me so much fear into something I could laugh at.
I got the book around three years before the movie came out. It was an amazing book and I loved it. I saw that the movie was coming out so I got super excited. I watched it and was disappointed. Don't discredit the book though. It is good. They put mattresses on the window instead, the people at the end have gouged out their eyes instead of being a school for the blind, there are actual explanations, and its overall just a good book. And there's a dog!
Much better book
any book with a dog is a good book
Dogs make everything better.
I know right? The book was awesome! Unlike the movie, which was "(a sitty) horror", it was an "existential horror". The storyline is much better than this. Also the movie went fucking mainstream. Though it was really a school for blind.
@@SmokeDog1871 It is not explained why the dog was alright. Sb correct me if I'm mistaken. And these creatures, according to Garry, were humans. Humans were supposedly the creatures they feared. Though after reading the whole book, you never got to know what the creature actually is. It doesn't deny the fact that it could actually be humans. They are left unexplained, which is quite uncomforting. In the epilogue, the author explains a few things. You should read the book, my explanation is crap.

Everything he sinned in this video, was every question I had when watching this for the first time. The confusion is everywhere, jeez.
Imagine being a blind person. You would be so lucky since you already know everything lol
Also, when they tied the guy to the chair in the monitor room, why couldn’t at least one person stay in the room just in case bad things happen? Like if the guy starts trying to commit suicide every way possible, then leap in and try to stop the guy. Drag the chair away from the computer, put him elsewhere. Maybe in the process, learn if an afflicted person can go back to being normal
That was too confusing to watch. I expected someone to wait at least outside the room after people started to leave... then suddenly everyone went downstairs. Damn you, people!
I yelled at every scene in the movie because almost every horror movie is like this. except for the fact someone with darker skin hadn't died first
Theres no logic to be found
Ahstia Summers he pointed that out already
Ahstia Summers exactly why didn’t someone just stand behind the computer and if shit went south just unplug it?????
My biggest gripe: the demons can’t come indoors...BECAUSE WHY? The entire movie hinges on this single premise, which makes no sense logically and is never explained. It’s like the aliens in “Signs” that can’t open doors. Idiotic.
Uhm, no. This isn't in a way a great movie or even a particularly good one, but your criticism is entirely invalid. Your reasoning is that you're entitled to an explanation. You aren't. Movies don't have to explain you _anything_, really: you have a brain that features functions known as "deduction", "induction", "imagination" and so on. Use them.
@@999SickBoy666 Actually, one rule of storytelling is that you must hold the suspension of disbelief; if your work has too many holes and doesn't have a clear structure, your audience is going to pick up on that, and they'll lose interest.
You can't analyze a story that doesn't give you anything to work with. If you have to construct your own reasoning for how the basic premise of the story works, then the storyteller has failed their job. They're supposed to explain the basic structure of the world and the plot, and then leave the TINY things for people to fill in the blanks.
Uhm, I never claimed I was entitled to an explanation. My point was that the premise is illogical, regardless of explanation. The fact that my mind was dwelling on this, rather than enjoying the story makes my criticism perfectly valid. Thank you for your pretentious response though.
You can see from their shadows. They're gigantic. Therefore can't efit through human sized doors.

Or they could just... break through the doorway? Or actually, DUCK?! Or go through the windows? I get what you’re saying, and I’m sure if we asked the developer, he’d say the SAME thing, but that’s because he obviously doesn’t know why either.
Just saying, he’d agree with us because he himself has absolutely NO idea what’s really going on. A 13 year old could have made a better script than this, lolz 😂
Anyways, God Bless!

What I find the most difficult to believe is the fact that Malorie recognises the gynaecologist after five years of blind apocalypse. Assuming she only knew her from that one appointment, I wouldn't even remember the gynaecologist's name two weeks after the appointment. I certainly wouldn't remember her face after five years. And here apparently, she's still able to connect her name to her face and remember both, after only seeing her once and not seeing her again for five years. Unless she was her regular gynaecologist or she has photographic memory or both, it is highly unlikely that either of them would be able to recognise each other after five years. I simply cannot believe that they would recognise each other immediately upon their meeting in the school for the blind.
Unless it's one of the last other people you ever met.
Remember the face of the guard who locked you in solitary confinement for a year? Yeah, how can I forget that face?
@@protorhinocerator142but she not only met people after she met significant numbers of them in quick succession who then risked her life for and with. No way is she remembering one gyno.

Next one is going to be called "Tasteless" where you are not allowed to taste any flavor and if you do then you will get killed by a monster that is never shown for some reason
No that is always shown for some reason
joshua terry you know not showing the monster is way better than showing it right. Because of a thing called storytelling.
@@yeahkeen2905 Wrong, there is a sense of tension to the reveal and a plausible danger when you get to see the antagonist. Done correctly (take the new "IT" for example) it gives a solid reason for the characters to act the way they do. Yes, there is merit in the "faceless menace" approach, but it usually just leaves the audience feeling disinterested and unconnected with the characters reason for fear. That isn't "storytelling", it's lazy script.
Enyo Sarac it? Really? The movie that showed its monster in the first five minutes that’s what you’re saying built up tension. Lol ok. The movie the damn near everybody said they forgot was even a horror movie because for the second half of the movie it primarily feels like a coming-of-age adolescent story… Without any monsters or tension. To each his own I suppose.
How about the monster captures you, and then tries to force feed you. The only things you can survive on are avocados and water. You know, things that don't have flavor. And the monsters are all black and white and called "salt-n-pepperans"
I don’t understand why Malorie thought it was the best time to tell Olympia’s daughter how beautiful the world is when she’s literally about to open her eyes, like what the heck.
That's Netflix for you. Their writers cannot think past their nose.

Forgot to add a sin for when they were in the Rapids and they fell out of the boat, both kids stayed above the water even though the movie never suggested that either of them knew how to swim.
Edit: Also, how did the birds live in a cardboard box with holes when the boat fell
...Wow.
when i was 3 my mom taught me how to swim by throwing me into the water. i swam to the stairs of the pool by natural instinct 🤷🏼♀️
It was pure instinct man, after all humans are natural swimmers, idk if you’d seen videos about babies learning how to swim?
Zzig yeah sure... in a fucking pool of course... the kids fell to FUCKING RAPIDS, not even the best in the world would survive that shit the river will drag you to your death with no mercy
Carlos Guzman Well duh its a fucking movie! Aquaman must’ve saved them and I fucking believe it 😂
Im suprised you guys didn't sin the part where the Demons call out to the kids telling them to take off their blind folds when you could clearly see the demons steam roll through the forest and interact with the world around them. So why wouldn't the demons just take their blind folds off?
They seem to move more like a semi-corporeal force. Like a strong wind, a blunt force, rather than one with precise motor control

like, how in five years could you actually manage to refer to two kids that you raised as 'boy' and 'girl'? like, I could conceivably see not officially naming them for some flimsy reason, but realistically they would have defaulted into endearments and nicknames eventually. I guarantee, a year in and 'boy' and 'girl' would have naturally become 'honey' and 'sweetheart' or something without anyone realizing it.
Honestly, I see all this and I can't really see this as 'she learned the wonders of motherhood' but rather 'she gets a gold star for not being a COMPLETE sociopath, but yeah she was totally right about how she shouldn't be a mother. there was an attempt, but that attempt failed.'
I'd name them, Child #1 and Child #2 just to lower their expectations even further.
Nah, she was a better mother than the other chick. Also, she probably named them boy and girl to either not get attached, or because she didn't have the will to actually want to give them names in the world they live in. She cared about survival not all the hope stuff her essential husband blabbed on about, and she lived. Also, I wouldn't be calling my daughter or son sweetheart and honey in an apocalyptic world.
+Adrianna Arcuri
I think it had more to do with trying to keep them from becoming too attached. She was obviously attached, as every act that meant them staying with her, decreased her chance of survival. However, we see in the film where she goes off on 'girl' because if there is a problem the children are not supposed to stay to help, they are to save themselves. This was definitely not the standard she herself was living by. I think she figured, that while fear would quickly override the sense of 'how will we get food' in the moment, where they might lose their mother figure, there was a chance love and loyalty would cause them to hesitate (which we see it had ), and she, as the mother, had to do everything she could to make sure she wasn't the reason her children died.
Yeah what a Terrible mother keeping the children alive lol
It actually makes sense if you think about it. If you name something you personalize it, you get closer to it. It's that much harder if you lose it. She had to think it was just a matter of time before the children died. That's why she DID finally name them after they reached, "safety." Honey and sweet heart would do the same thing.
You forgot to mention how they just leave BD Wrong upstairs rotting and not smelling up the house.

Hypothermia, possible drowning in the rapids, etc
CirrusVision20 the life jacket would keep them above the water so they can just float until they hit shore
@@stevehartwick5764 Again, hypothermia. The river scene took place until winter, and it took them more than a day to row on said river. They'd freeze to death in a few hours, if that.
CirrusVision20 we are talking about different things buddy
This whole movie was over hyped and when I watched it, I was greatly disappointed. Interesting idea, horrible way of showing it. It felt dragged out. I also don't understand why people are saying this movie is scary when it barely had any suspenseful scenes (or at least, it WASN'T suspenseful enough) and focused more on dialogue. But for the most part, *the over hype and extreme advertisement for this movie ruined it.*
Ferraro La Reine The only thing that freaked me out was when the crazy guy they let in because Olympia is a moron ends up killing most of them. And that was mostly just anger because no one tries to attack him until everyone is basically dead anyway.
Any suspense it COULD have had was ruined by showing the two different timelines like that. We already know Malory and 2 children live. She is pregnant with ONE child, so we know blonde woman's child survives at least thru the pregnancy. Essentially 2 characters are given blanket godmode for the first half of the story. She's alone so MOST of the other people will leave or die. "Or both."
@@frankm.2850 It's an old woman who tries to get help but is overpowered, and two women who JUST gave birth. They'd have to be wonder woman to even get out of bed right then.
It was over hyped bc a woman directed it. You know Hollywood is super woke. Plenty of better films directed by women.
As a person who doesn't really like horror, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of scary in it.
