I would have liked it 100% more.

As it is, the movie plays out as if one or several of the producers insisted that blood and gore be shoe-horned into this movie, whether it made sense or not.

As it is, before anyone's story arc is done or resolved, everyone starts getting wrecked one by one, before any of them figure out what's going on or why.

It's like in a lot of horror movies where the black dude dies early on before everyone else knows who or what the evil presence coming for them even is.

Under that context I guess it's funny that the only black dude in the movie seems like the one person who realizes that shit is bout to go south, and takes himself out of the game altogether before he gets got.

Maybe it was also funny that Malkovich survived, even though I had just seen Bird Box a week or so before this, and in that movie it was obvious early on that Malkovich wasn't going to be one of the survivors.
