Synopsis
Bird Box (2018) is the Netflix post-apocalyptic horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Catch a glimpse of the thing outside, and you take your own life on the spot.
Civilization collapses in a matter of days. Mallory, played by Sandra Bullock, survives with two small children by keeping her eyes shut, guiding them blindfolded down a river by touch alone. A box of birds is her only alarm, their cries warning when the unseen presence draws near. Director Susanne Bier cuts between two timelines: the early panic inside a house full of strangers, and the present-day journey down the water. John Malkovich, Trevante Rhodes and Sarah Paulson move in and out of Mallory's story across those years.
Bier adapted Josh Malerman's novel, and the central trick is brutally simple: the monster never appears on screen, because seeing it is the whole danger. The film became one of the most talked-about streaming launches of its year. Stream Bird Box (2018) online on iFILM.
