The best horror sequels boast the core hallmarks of their predecessors while bringing fresh ideas to the table. At first, "Bird Box: Barcelona" looks like just another story about people wandering around blindfolded and trying to survive. However, the monsters aren't the only things to fear this time around, as the creatures appear to have inspired people to do their bidding.
In the trailer, one of the protagonists reveals that men roam the streets without blindfolds. The group is led by Padre Esteban (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a fanatic who promises spectacular sights to those who gaze upon the creatures. That said, he can't be trusted, as another scene shows people jumping onto the tracks in a subway station, presumably because they've had the misfortune of seeing the monsters and succumbing to their horrors.
"Bird Box: Barcelona" promises all of the things people enjoyed about the original film and so much more. Furthermore, viewers will be able to witness the carnage unfold when the film arrives on Netflix on July 14, 2023.
