Worst Decisions In 'Bird Box'

Charlie finds his friend "Fish Fingers" by a loading bay door while grabbing groceries. Fish Fingers smashes the door and screams. He is clearly having a bad time.

The group opens the door for Fish Fingers. This action destroys Charlie, an author who understood the danger. They also lose the person holding the supermarket key. Food won't last forever, but having supplies locked up is good.

Gary ruins the survivors' neighborhood. Letting him into the house is debatable. They think they save a good man seeking shelter from the apocalypse. Leaving him outside would show heartlessness.

Their mistake is letting him wander alone while Malorie and Olympia give birth upstairs. Something is wrong with him when he pulls out his creepy drawings.Creepy drawings.he starts dancing to Aretha Franklin and throws birds in the freezer.

The initial group found Greg's house by chance. They fight, but they build respect. They work together; they have food, water, and protection. The house serves as their best spot.

Felix and Lucy go after the house is safe.Felix and Lucy take the group's only car.and drive away. Leaving known supplies and shelter to find luck elsewhere in the city is a poor choice.

Five years after the world stops - and after Malorie gives birth to a child during Gary's rampage - humans stay hidden from creatures and people. Malorie and Tom start a family; everyone they meet tries to make them look at the supernatural beings.

A group attacks their house. Tom tries to save Malorie. Later, while Malorie and the kids travel downriver, a man with a hook appears and tries something disturbing. Malorie should have just paddled her heart out.A man with a hook.A man with a hook in a river is never a good thing?

After leaving the city, Malorie and Tom move to the woods. They train themselves to hear creatures near. This idea is good, but they lack preparation for the seers. Seers are unique people who see creatures without losing it. They want survivors to see the monsters too.

After surviving Gary's sabotage, the couple should trap the house against these creeps or set up an alarm system.

The characters make perhaps the worst decision inBird BoxRunning from the creatures is the worst decision. These things enter your mind. They pretend to be loved ones. They make loud noises. They throw leaves everywhere. They do not touch you. They cannot open doors or windows. They are just bark and no bite.

Why run from them? Initially, Malorie and the survivors should run. After five years dealing with these unseen threats, they should get used to leaving quietly. Instead, they flee. They trip, fall, or even capsize their boats.

On the surface, covering the house windowswith layers of newspaperThis is a good plan. The material is thick enough to block sight. It lets some natural light through, though. Newspaper tears easily if someone tries to show the creatures. What if someone tries to break in?

The housemates never update their defense systems. This failure causes their small commune to fall apart.

No one knows what happens to Greg when he views the creatures on the security camera. The group does not plan ahead. They leave Greg alone, tied to a chair, instead of having someone watch him if he changes.

Greg is forced tosmash his headsmash his head on a table corner by toppling his chair over. That is a bad end.

Malorie saw a woman smash her head into a window after a prenatal doctor visit early in the film. This started a chain of terrible events. Malorie and her sister left the hospital. Why? A hospital offers the safest place in a crisis.

Right after Malorie and her sister left the hospital, her sister saw a creature and crashed her car. Malorie might not have been safe in the hospital. But at the film's end, she meets her former doctor at the school for the blind. Some people at the hospital escaped. They did not need to raft blindfolded down a river to survive.

Douglas getting drunk in a supermarket is not the worst choice Douglas makes. Whilehis drinking is problematicLater in the film, who would not drink a whole bottle of bourbon after seeing your wife and people you know end up killed by invisible monsters?

Still, in a situation like this, keep your wits about you.

Malorie and the group get lucky to use the supermarket where Charlie works. The drive is long. They must use GPS and parking sensors. No one thinks about scavenging supplies in the nearby houses and neighborhoods.

This path lets people get help or run for safety fast if plans fail. They also find supplies not sold at supermarkets.

The whole idea ofBird BoxPeople cannot look at strange creatures; they will burn themselves if they do. Survivors find ways to survive the world without looking. Malorie and her kids use blindfolds to move through.

This creates someengaging marketingThis works, but people need a better way to avoid seeing the creatures. Malorie and her kids must run through a forest, raft a heavy river, and face natural obstacles. There must be a safer, faster way than a blindfold. Use a blanket? Or a white cane like blind people? No good answer exists, but a better method is needed.

This is a tough spot. If Malorie and the kids take off their blindfolds, they see the creatures and die. If they stay blindfolded, they might fall off the boat and drown. Malorie keeps the blindfold, and the boat capsizes.

It is hard to say which choice was better. That water looks very cold and unappealing.
