There’s a flash back to nine months earlier, where Laura, Anna’s mum, is killed not by the otherworldly beings, but is mowed down by a taxi in a stampede of people trying to leave the city, which is highly unfortunate.
She’s a vision, or the creature taking her form to tempt Sebastián into killing others. Plot twist: he’s the bad guy!Ī little later in the film, we realise that Anna, his daughter, isn’t really there. Easy right? No, not really, as this particular villain – we never see what it truly is – has now morphed into a different entity for each person, taking the form and voice of someone who they have loved and lost, tempting them to look at it.īut about 20 minutes into the film, we see Sebastián infiltrate a group of people who have escaped death, and he basically kills them all in either a coach crash, or by forcing them to look at the creature. The only way to escape its clutches is to wear a blindfold and resist the urge to stare at it. We join Sebastián (Mario Casas) and his daughter Anna (Alejandra Howard) in the Spanish city as we watch them fighting for their lives, as the mysterious being has taken down much of the European population.
If you’ve not watched the film, then bookmark this page and come back to it later, as we’re about to deep dive into the ending, and there’s obviously many spoilers to follow… The premise At least, it appears so at the beginning. The first film, which premiered in those innocent, pre-pandemic days of 2018, featured Sandra Bullock helping a couple of kids to safety after an entity caused mass-suicide when people looked at it, and the spin-off sequel, Bird Box Barcelona, follows a similar storyline. If you thought The Last Of Us was going to get the last word on end-of-days, humanity-destroying phenomenons, Bird Box has returned to say: “hold my cerveza.”
