Filmmakers Alex and David Pastor's Bird Box: Barcelona is a nightmarish vision come to life that has scenarios that may initially seem to have been done before but certainly not on this scale. The film opens in a world where people kill themselves when witnessing hallucinations that come through a deadly force. It's a frightening scenario that people would have to wear blindfolds to avoid witnessing things which would lead them to take their own lives. Blindfolds are commonplace in this world the movie presents as the characters in it search for food and shelter while being unable to see what's around them. While the film is certainly thought-provoking and proficiently made, the movie occasionally suffers from having too many characters, some of whom get lost in the shuffle.
