Bird Box is a post apocalyptic psychological horror thriller following a mysterious global event that drives people to suicide when seen. Malorie Hayes, a determined mother, must protect her children by blindfolding them while navigating a dangerous river journey to safety. As unseen entities exploit fear and memory, survivors face paranoia, cult like fanaticism, and impossible choices.
Directed with tense minimalism, the film explores motherhood, trauma, and survival through atmosphere driven suspense rather than graphic spectacle. Strong performances and sound design intensify dread while hope flickers faintly amid bleak silence.
