Songbird




 As i said last week with Locked Down we are in a era of film where covid exists. I guess it is time to get used to Corona VirusSploitation, mid 2020 we had Corona Zombies from Full Moon and Charles Band, now we have Michael Bay producing(NOT directing) a shot during quarantine, based around a quarantine, thriller that exploits covid, not in a grindhousey way but is a way that just feels inappropriate. I'm not one to get offended by a film, nor am i by this, but while i respect the balls to shoot this within a month it almost feels like a short film parody. Only is is not a parody, is is Covid 23 and just feels wrong to see right now. THat aside even if covid didn't exist and this miraculously was still a film, even as an original virus, it would still feel poorly executed. Go watch Contagion instead, it predates covid but speaks more to what people need to see, as opposed to the convoluted plot we had here. It is not boring, it doesn't look bad, it is just really contrived with all over the place acting. I admire this film but i can't recommend it!
