What to Know

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.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk This is even more drab than the first instalment of the Netflix horror-thriller. Rated: 1/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times The film has moments of pure and hard terror that should appease those who love the genre. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) [There's] a new element, which I think is very bright of the film... They pull this thing off again. Jul 22, 2023 Full Review Romey Norton Film Focus Online Whilst parts were predictable there's still enjoyment in the suspense. Bird Box Barcelona holds extremely well as a drama-horror film and is worth investing your time in. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington 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 Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan 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.

Rory L The sequel we never needed, but totally expected. Note: I watched a dubbed version of this movie. Honestly, the original movie was 100% going to be given a sequel. Everybody knew. The original movie had a total profit of a little under 400 million dollars. This movie would go on to make a total of... we don't know. The movie's profits are not public information; presumably because of an absolute box office flop. I understand that film making isn't easy. All of that aside, this movie sucks and we never needed it. The series would be much better off without a sequel. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review LL S See no evil... or banal B-movies. This IP might be more suited to a different media format (I should probably read the book). Fairly interesting in theory, the type of potentially provocative genre film Georgina Campbell has a knack for being cast in even if the end results are hit or miss (I'm looking at you, The Watchers). I found the other main character too irredeemable to be sympathetic. If you're looking for better sensory deprivation apocalyptic fare, more philosophical and less action-oriented than A Quiet Place and its followups, Blindness (2008) is brilliant and Perfect Sense (2011) is a good companion piece. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Kyle O Don’t hurt dogs. Enough said. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Jeffrey P This entered the realm of inane stupidity very early on, and then proceeded to make it into one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. The original concept of the first film, Bird Box, was not overly intelligent but I was still able to give it a positive review. What they did to it here is just bad on all levels. Absolutely horrible direction to take the story in, made only worse by unclear skipping around in the storyline, I should have turned it off around the 40 minute mark. The idea of some people being immune and then forming a cult of sorts isn’t all bad, the execution was just atrocious and the entire 'visions of his daughter' possessing him was the unnecessary and horrid part. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Jason H I'm a little lost on the reaction to this movie. Watched it in a group and we all thought is was exceptional. Everything from the writing, acting, directing, cinematography and even the effects were top notch. It was the rare better sequel in almost every way...and I watched the two movie almost back to back. This movie took the idea and expanded on it in all the right ways. Bird Box Barcelona deserves so much more love than it's getting!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Sam H Wth with this movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
