Bird Box

A 2018 American post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Susanne Bier, with a screenplay by Eric Heisserer, based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Josh Malerman. The plot centers on Malorie Hayes (Sandra Bullock), who strives to protect herself and two children from mysterious entities that cause people who look at them to commit suicide. The story begins as an unexplained epidemic of mass suicides sweeps the world. Pregnant Malorie finds refuge in a house with other survivors, including Tom (Trevante Rhodes), Douglas (John Malkovich), and Lucy (Rosa Salazar). The group realizes that to survive, they must avoid visual contact with the outside world by using blindfolds. Five years into the epidemic, Malorie and the two children, whom she calls Boy and Girl, embark on a perilous journey down a river in search of a safe haven, relying solely on their hearing and instincts. The film explores themes of motherhood, survival, and human nature under extreme conditions.
