10. Bird Box
The movie is gripping, crisp and concise. I watched this movie in the comforts of my home on Netflix and I guess this made it more exciting and I sat completely engrossed in the movie.
As with every other movie, there were gaps that needed to be filled. However, I strongly believe this was an intentional move by the director to get the viewers to fill in those gaps themselves, AKA, use your imagination.
