It’s good as horror, but it’s absolutely great as a barely exaggerated example of what if feel like to care for kids. This would be a hard journey in a blindfold without kids, but it’s even more stressful and scary with them. The central plot of Bird Box is Malorie and her kids taking a row boat up a river to find a safe colony of people. Coming to love your children can be a journey, but it’s not one we see very often – yet here it was in a Netflix horror film.
It’s an incredibly stressful and life-altering change. Children are tiny strangers that need all your attention or they will perish.
Hollywood often sells the idea of this magical moment after a child is born when you connect with them and everything is perfect, but that’s not true for all parents. But…that’s what being a parent is like sometimes. I think many people who don’t have kids, or had easy times with their kids, might think Malorie is a “bad mother.” She calls the children “boy” and “girl,” she’s not very warm with them and she yells at them a lot. She doesn’t want to be a mother, but ends up caring for her son, as well as a girl born on the same day. The protagonist of the film is Malorie (Sandra Bullock), who is pregnant when the monsters first touch down. The result is a post-apocalyptic world where no one can leave their homes without blindfolds on.
BIRD BOX DEMONS MOVIE
The movie has gained a dedicated following for its suspenseful atmosphere, memorable characters, and exploration.
A few people survive and try to force others to look at the monsters. Welcome to the Bird Box Quiz This post-apocalyptic horror film follows the lives of a group of survivors who must navigate a world where looking at an unseen supernatural entity causes people to go insane and commit suicide. In different ways, both films tap into the constant, overwhelming fear that comes with being a parent.īird Box, which was released on Netflix late last year, features monsters that make people want to kill themselves if they see them. I watched Bird Box and The Babadook pretty close together (don’t worry, my kid was asleep) and the emotion I felt wasn’t terror of the monsters, it was sympathy for the harried mothers at the center of both stories. Continuing our October horror discussions, I thought this would be a good time to talk about two movies that resonated with me, not just as a fan of film, but as the parent of a small human child.
