Best Netflix movies: Birdbox

Release Year: 2018

Directed by Susanne Bier

Starring Sandra Bullock, Trevante Rhodes, John Malkovich, Danielle Macdonald, and Sarah Paulson

Birdbox is based on the novel of the same name written by Josh Malerman. The film premiered on Netflix at the end of 2018, and at the time, it has the most views of any Netflix original movie over its opening few weeks. We have to assume that’s still the case months later.

Birdbox tells the story of a woman leading a group through the horrors of a post-apocalyptic world. In this world, monsters trick humans into seeing awful things and ending their lives because of the horrors. The travelers, then, are forced to blindfold themselves and try to make the journey to safety.

It’s very easy to compare Bird Box to A Quiet Place starring John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. I think many people who liked A Quiet Place would also like Birdbox.

Overall, Birdbox is not a perfect movie, but it’s one of the best Netflix originals yet. It sounds like a possible sequel for this movie is still on the table, but we haven’t heard much about it yet. Stay tuned for more news about this film.
