— Netflix (@netflix) October 24, 2018 If you haven’t read the book (as I have not), it looks at first glance like a typical thriller with a mother trying to save her children…but…in a blindfold? Wait, and there’s something supernatural going on? WAIT, WHAT IS GOING ON. By the end of the trailer I was shooing away my own children and gripping the edge of my seat. Bird Box will be on Netflix and in select theaters on December 21st.
