Bird Box (2018)

Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety.

Enthralling doomsday drama works - despite utilizing an irritating premise - due mainly on a good sense for atmosphere and charcter development and an excellent performance by Sandra Bullock.

Hævnen (2010)

The lives of two Danish families cross each other, and an extraordinary but risky friendship comes into bud.

Stirring and intense study of pacifism amidst an otherwise relentlessly violent world.

Maltin***1/2: "...a story both gripping and harrowlingly believable, an exploration of violence that simmers just below the surface of polite society."
