WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A mysterious force decimates a large chunk of the world’s population, causing anyone that sees it to immediately kill themselves. In order to get herself and her two children to safety, Malorie (Bullock) undertakes a perilous two-day journey down a treacherous river towards the one place left that offers sanctuary – but to avoid falling victim to whatever is causing the epidemic, they must do everything blindfolded…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

If A Quiet Place played with the basic human need to hear, Bird Box plays with our natural ability to see, making it an extremely intense and suspenseful horror-thriller that Hitchcock would be proud of.
