The concept -- mysterious somethings (creatures? it's a mystery) will, if seen, drive most of the population into a suicidal rage, so Sandra Bullock and other survivors must run around blindfolded -- might have seemed more inventive if the timing did not cast it as an unwieldy knockoff of The Quiet Place.

It's an A-grade production with good performances and some good action but hamstrung by one fatal flaw: it's impossible to take seriously. Some pseudoscientific or mystical gabble might have been better than a mystery because suspension of disbelief is a real problem. It becomes almost a comedy: oh, you drove into something? Maybe it's because you were wearing a blindfold.
