In today’s installment of ‘things I didn’t know were coming’ is the sequel/sidequel to 2018’s massive Netflix hit, Bird Box.
Based on the novel by Josh Malerman, the original saw Sandra Bullock and two young children she took under her wing, trying to get to a safe place in a world where things so horrible had invaded that just one glance at them made you go into a suicidal and/or murderous rampage… it was sort of like Netflix’s answer to a Quiet Place and, while not exactly high art, it was a lot of fun.
This new movie, Bird Box Barcelona takes place – surprise! – in Barcelona, is in Spanish language and chronicles, like the first movie, the day the invasion happened and the world became a very dangerous place to live.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first movie but this seems like perfect Friday night in front of the telly with some popcorn fodder and sometimes that’s just what you need.

After a mysterious force decimates the world’s population by causing all who see it to take their lives, Sebastian and his young daughter Anna must navigate their own journey of survival through the desolate streets of Barcelona. But as they form an uneasy alliance with other survivors and make their way toward a safe haven, a threat more sinister than the unseen creatures grows.
