Bird Box: What’s All the Hype About?
Bird Box (A Netflix Film) Description: Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a survivor and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety. Sandra Bullock stars in this gripping thriller based on the novel by Josh Malerman. Oscar winner Susanne Bier directs. (Rated R)
Bird Box Viewer Review: “For thrill-seekers who love a good storyline—something hard to come by in many horror films—Bird Box is the one for you. The Netflix original featuring one of Hollywood’s hottest, Sandra Bullock, has created a cult following, and for good reason. Bird Box keeps suspense high, posing a storyline that mimics the apocalyptic nature of other recent films (i.e. A Quiet Place), all while throwing curveballs that make it uniquely eerie. So grab your bravest friends, close the blinds, and jump on the Bird Box bandwagon for an at-home movie experience that will not disappoint!” -Hunter Frazer
