There was a time when Netflix was perceived as a real threat to cinema. Series like Cobra Kai, Making a Murderer or Stranger Things were the talk of the day. Productions like the sci-fi thriller Annihilation starring Natalie Portman (Léon – The Prof, Star Wars: Episode 1-3) were “bought off the cinema market” and released exclusively on Netflix. And world stars like Al Pacino or Will Smith could be committed thanks to high fees. From this time comes the horror thriller Bird Box – Close Your Eyes.
This horror thriller is getting a spin-off on Netflix
“Horror thriller” – that sounds exciting, but not exactly like a high-quality Hollywood production. But Bird Box – Close your eyes is different. The post-apocalyptic end-of-times film was directed by Oscar-winning actress Susanne Bier and starring Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock.
Supposedly was Bird Box – Close your eyes in the first week over 45 million times streamed. Over for three years The horror film was Netflix’s most successful in-house production. So it was only a matter of time before a new oner Bird Box movie on Netflix is published. This one became finally a few days ago published.
How good is Bird Box: Barcelona on Netflix?
As the title suggests, it is Bird Box: Barcelona not a classic sequel to the 2018 horror hit. The spin-off was born in Spain directed by the Catalan brothers Alex and David Pastor.
The fact that the new Bird Box film will no longer star Hollywood celebrities perhaps reflects the fact that the gold rush in the streaming industry is over. Interesting series and films continue to appear, but the catchy (and expensive) names are increasingly missing.
