Critics Consensus

Expanding the franchise with some effective twists, Bird Box Barcelona lacks some of its predecessor's creepy tension but remains occasionally involving in its own right.

Audience Says

Bird Box Barcelona has some interesting ideas for new directions the franchise could follow, but overall, this sequel lacks a lot of what made the first movie worth watching.

This is even more drab than the first instalment of the Netflix horror-thriller.

Rated: 1/5

The film has moments of pure and hard terror that should appease those who love the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

[There's] a new element, which I think is very bright of the film... They pull this thing off again.

Bird Box: Barcelona successfully builds on the groundwork of the original by providing a more fleshed-out world to house the unique and terrifying concept we were first introduced to five years ago.

Rated: 4/5

Keith & the Movies

It’s certainly no clone of its 2018 predecessor. The Pastors do a good job of giving their film its own identity, taking the same concept and building on it in a number of interesting ways.

Rated: 4/5

Nuha Hassan (Medium)

The movie could have spent time observing the themes around grief and what it does to someone but, instead, focuses on the faux-religious angle that takes away the emotional moments to reach its full potential.

I don't know what happened here but something went wrong. It actually made me appreciate the first movie even more. It was so boring... If you're gonna make the second movie "Bird Box" gotta go hard because the tirst one was a success and I absolutely oved it. To say that I expect more would be an understatement. I didn't even cared about the main characters, wasn't worried about them either... The movie misses some excitement although they spent some budget on the production but instead they could've spent more on writing which was poor, but maybe it's just me...

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Bird Box: Barcelona offers a fresh perspective by following the story from the eyes of a "seer"—those who survive after seeing the deadly entity. The film maintains a mostly linear timeline with brief flashbacks to build character depth, especially for the protagonist. While it brings more direct interaction with the creatures, the emotional weight and character chemistry fall short compared to the original. The ending introduces a questionable scientific twist, slightly weakening the grounded tension. Despite its flaws, it remains a watchable spin-off for fans of the universe.

It could have been a lot better than what I saw. It's not worth it. (I haven't seen the American one)

Terrible film. Crap acting, the storyline all over the place and I still don't understand the ending. Don't waste your time on this.

Mario Casas brought me here, but aside that.. the film was decent. The only victims that I felt sorry was the dogs
