Stupidity: When Greg volunteers to watch the security monitors to see if the creatures can affect people through a screen, no-one even thinks to remain in the room with him to cover up the monitors with a blanket, towel or something similar in case the creatures' power can be transmitted that way. They tied him to a chair to reduce his chances of committing suicide, so they certainly thought there was a possibility that he would be in danger.
Bird Box (2018)

Other mistake: For the most part we see Malorie floating in the boat going with the river. However, numerous times we see her rowing against the tide. Even blindfolded you would be able to tell you are rowing against the flow by the resistance on the paddles.
Malorie: Listen to me, we're going on a trip now, it's going to be rough. If you hear something in the woods, you tell me. If you hear something in the water, you tell me. But under no circumstances are you allowed to take off your blindfold.
Trivia: Following the success of this film, Netflix had to release a statement begging views to not try the "Bird Box Challenge" that was sweeping social media and putting many people in hospital. A news article on the incident can be viewed here https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/03/netflix-bird-box-challenge-meme-sandra-bullock-blindfold.

Chosen answer: Well, with Malorie being quite pregnant at the moment, and her fear of giving birth, Malorie is using the word "saint" unconventionally, and it's a compliment for Tom's sister. For the woman to have gone through the many long months of pregnancy and already given birth three times, and is now pregnant a fourth time, Malorie considers the woman to be *saint-like*, meaning unselfish, good-hearted, kind, etc.
