Directors Álex and David Pastor provide the audience with a flawed main character and add another element of the folklore of the entities. But Sebastian is not wholly the selfless person he’s making himself out to be, and Anna, for some reason, is ok with it.
BIRD BOX SEQUEL GENERATOR
Given his prior career as an engineer, Sebastian tells them he knows where a generator is. At that moment, Sebastian finds a hesitant, but eventually friendly group of survivors that agree to take him back to their hideout spot.Īll the ducks look in a row – they have a doctor, a mechanic, and a full assortment of food. Injuries be damned he and Anna have to navigate the dangers of outside. Sebastian gets beaten up and robbed by three blind marauders. Even with that brief happy moment, the danger is not too far behind.

It’s been nine months since the creatures have wreaked havoc on Earth, and society has been destabilized. The film begins with a father named Sebastian (Mario Casas) and his daughter Anna (Alejandra Howard) in an empty roller skating rink, trying to find a semblance of happiness. This is the angle that Bird Box Barcelona looks to approach its base from – yes when humans get desperate, decency goes out the window. Much of it has to do with the inflictions themselves and as an uncovering of humankind’s “do anything nature to survive.” When there are shared resources that get removed (or, in this case, an essential sense), the survivalists inside us sometimes cling to the very worst things to make sense of everything. This much is spelled out to the audience at the beginning of director Susanne Bier’s adaptation of Josh Malerman’s book when a mother bluntly tells her children, “Do not take your blindfolds off, or you’ll die.”Ī zombie outbreak or an onslaught of aliens usually sends the world into neverending chaos. If so, you will meet a rather gruesome end by your hand. Never go outside without eye protection, or otherworldly beings will take over your mind. Like many sci-fi disaster stories, 2018’s Bird Box has a simple list of dos and don'ts.
