Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a horror film called: "Bird Box"!
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care! The movie reveals an invisible demonic entity
that starts impacting the human nervous system around the globe; and it is not safe to go
out in the open with bare eyes. The demonic force invokes the deepest sorrows, regrets,
sadness, and memories in a person, once he looks at the entity with naked eyes.
The movie starts with a man transmitting a message via radio to Malorie, that there is
a community of survivors far down the river, where it's safe for people to stay amidst the chaos. The
man also informs that the fastest way to reach this community, is by rafting down the river;
but it's very difficult to make it with kids. We see Malorie mentally preparing a boy and a
girl for the long and rough trip ahead. She delivers strict instructions to the kids,
by saying they have to stay alert and quiet all the time. Under no circumstances are they
allowed to take off their blindfold. She bluntly tells them that if they remove the blindfold,
they will die. Immediately after setting ground rules for the journey ahead,
Malorie removes the birds from the cage, and puts them in a box, then rushes towards the boat,
blindfolded. After counting and walking the pre-determined number of steps to the boat,
she puts the two kids into the boat, and starts rowing.
In the next scene, the movie takes you 5 years earlier, where we see Malorie is enjoying her
music, and engrossed in painting canvas. She is soon interrupted by her sister Jessica.
Jessica complains about the loud music, while informing her about the people stocking food
and necessities for a long haul, presumably because of what's happening around the world.
Upon switching on TV, you can see airports and train stations are shut down in many countries,
as witnesses report unexplained mass suicides. It first started in Romania; and now it's spreading
at an alarming rate. The death toll has already crossed 10,000; and still, the pandemic bodies are
unaware of the cause. Eyewitness reports suggest that people are exhibiting psychotic behavior;
but the US authorities advise people to remain calm. Jessica suggests Malorie go out sometimes,
and invites her to join for an outing later that day, to which Malorie tells her that she got an
appointment with Dr. Lapham. Jessica cancels her plan, and tells Malorie that she will join
her instead. Malorie asks Jessica for an opinion on her current painting. She tells her that she
sees a bunch of people sitting together; but all of them feel incredibly lonely. Malorie responds
by saying "Loneliness is just incidental; it's actually people's inability to connect". With the
conversation between the sisters, you come to know that Malorie is suffering from post-breakup stress
and loneliness while being pregnant. Jessica complains to her that she can't raise a kid like
this, and where she will even put 'her'. Malorie asks Jessica how she knows it's 'she'. Jessica
responds by saying it's wishful thinking. Later, Malorie and Jessica visit Dr. Lapham.
Doctor informs Malorie that her due date is near. While Malorie is puking in the washroom, Jessica
tells her that she will wait in the car instead. You see the situation in the hospital starts to
grow intense with presumably unexpected events happening outside. While Jessica waits in the car,
Malorie starts walking towards the hospital exit; she encounters a woman knocking her head on the
glass, trying to kill herself. Malorie quickly realizes that it's happening now, and quickly
runs to the car. On the way back, they find roads with complete chaos. cars are colliding; people
are running and screaming. People are killing themselves after seeing something invisible.
While Malorie and Jessica try to make their way through chaos, Jessica sees something in front;
and you see her eyes get intensely dark. She topples the car to kill herself. Both of them
survive; but Jessica takes her life by walking in front of a speeding truck. People are panicking,
running, colliding, and dying everywhere around Malorie. Malorie is sitting on the road with
complete shock at what just happened. after noticing that she is pregnant, a random woman
runs towards her, to take her inside the nearest house. Douglas, an ex-policeman and her husband,
tells her not to help and save herself instead. The woman gets affected by the invisible entity,
and kills herself. Malorie is eventually taken inside a home by Tom and Lucy. Douglas,
who is already inside the house with Greg, tells Greg not to open the door. Greg opens it,
saying it's his house. Douglas blames Malorie for his wife's death. The group is further joined by
an old lady, Felix and Charlie. All are rattled by the sudden turn of events. You can see on the
TV that it has spread across the country; and the president has declared a state of emergency. They
try to figure out what's exactly happening, and conclude that they need to avoid looking outside,
and thus, seal all the doors and cover the windows. Charlie comes with a theory that
humanity has been judged and purged. Now demons are here, taking forms of their worst fears,
or your deepest sadness or greatest loss. Most of them just ignore his theory, since he works at the
supermarket. However, they ignore the fact that he has been working on this subject for quite long,
because he is writing a novel on the same subject. Back to present, it's been 6 hours
since Malorie and the kids started their journey. Now it's dark; she feeds the birds in the box;
and both the kids are asleep. Malorie tries to contact someone via radio under the blanket cover;
but to no avail! Birds chirp suddenly, implying the presence of some entity near the boat.
It's been three days now since the event occurred. We hear a knock on the door, and a cry for help
from a lady outside. Group rush towards the door to let her in; but Douglas tells them not to do
so. After an intense conflict between Malorie and Douglas, they let the lady inside finally.
Olympia, who is pregnant, keeps whipping, and tells them she ran out of food, and doesn't know
what to do except to knock on the random doors outside. Douglas, in a sarcastic manner, tells
now they all can starve to death, since the house has now become a maternity ward. Greg suggests,
there are cameras around the house transmitting live feed; therefore, they can see entities using
pixels and heat. Greg even volunteers to do so; but Douglas advises everyone that it's a huge
mistake. Douglas says that Greg and his husband are good people; and he shouldn't be doing this.
Greg is sitting, with his hands tied to a chair, and looks out for the entity on the monitor. Greg
sees the entity on the monitor, and kills himself by snapping his neck, throwing himself on the
floor sideways. Everyone reaches the room. Douglas destroys the monitor, and tells everyone it is
indeed a bad idea. Malorie and Tom start bonding with each other. Back to present, Malorie is
still rowing the boat tirelessly, and is suddenly encountered by a man, who is not blindfolded. The
man attacks them, and tries to uncover Malorie's eyes; but he gets killed by a machete instead.
Next, we see the survivor group in the house, discussing restocking food and other necessities.
Charlie reveals that he had locked the supermarket where he works before things got crazy;
and perhaps they can somehow go there, and get the supplies. The place is just a few blocks
away. Tom, Malorie, Charlie, Douglas and Lucy, start preparing for the short yet dangerous
ride outside. They cover and color windows to black. Group uses car GPS to navigate their way.
They Drive slowly through the way while ramping over dead bodies. Finally, they come to a halt,
when the car's proximity sensor starts alarming them from all directions. The car starts to shake
wildly. Tom speeds up; and somehow, they manage to reach the place. The team uses blindfolds to
reach inside the supermarket, cover the windows, and hit the jackpot, where all the necessities are
available. Malorie finds few birds in a cage, and decides to take them with her. Douglas suggests
to everyone that they should stay back at the supermarket, since the place has supplies at
least for a year. Malorie opposes the idea of leaving the others, and strongly advises to go
back instead. We hear a knock from someone in the back room. The guy weeps, and pleads them to open
the door. Charlie identifies the man, and tells everyone that the guy works at the supermarket
with him. The man has been to prison and is a bit crazy; but he has always been nice to him.
Birds, however, start panicking restlessly, sensing the danger outside the door. The
man's voice starts getting intense, and he starts pushing the door. Tom and Malorie on this side are
trying to push the door close. Charlie sacrifices himself by pushing the man outside. After that,
they get back to the house with supplies. Malorie and Douglas are having a conversation about their
pasts; Malorie tells Douglas he reminds her of her father, who is an asshole too. Meanwhile,
Felix and Lucy escape the place, taking the only safe mode of transportation available,
probably going to the supermarket. People rush towards the garage; but it's too late!
Back to the present, it's been 24 hours now since the journey on the boat started. Malorie is still
trying hard to row. a sudden collision with a stuck truck takes place, pushing the boy into
the water, Malorie saves him in time, but unfortunately, they lose their blankets and
food. Malorie hears a sound near the shore. That probably comes from the house nearby. She parks
the boat on the shore, and reminds the kids not to leave the boat in any case. Being blindfolded, she
leaves a trail of thin rope, while walking to the house. Once she is inside the house, she collects
the blankets, and tries to rush back towards the boat, feeling the presence of the entity.
Meanwhile, the girl starts searching for Malorie. Luckily, Malorie reaches just in
time, and takes the girl back to the boat. Back in the past, Malorie is trying to establish
radio connection; while Olympia is talking to an old man standing outside the house. She opens the
door, empathizing with the old man. Malorie grabs the shotgun, and points it towards the
old man. Everyone rushes to the scene. The old man introduces himself, and pleads with them to
allow him to stay there. Douglas strongly opposes the idea of keeping the stranger in the house. The
old man reveals that mentally ill people are not wearing blindfolds, and are not affected by the
phenomena. In fact, such people are currently hunting normal people, and forcing them to look
at the creatures with bare eyes! Douglas doubts the old man and his story, as he is still alive.
Douglas snatches the gun out of Malorie's hands; but the old lady hits Douglas on the head from
behind, making him unconscious. Tom puts Douglas in the garage, and locks the door from inside.
After the incident, Olympia asks Malorie to promise her that she will take care of
Olympia's child, in case something happens to her. Malorie gifts a small kitty toy to Olympia as a
baby shower. Olympia smiles and hugs Malorie. Back to the boat in the present, we can see the
girl is holding the same Kitty toy, reminding of the promise Malorie kept. Malorie covers
herself and the kids under a blanket to discuss the rapids. She instructs them that once they
reach the rapids, one of them will have to look outside to guide her with the direction. The boy
quickly responds that he will do it; Malorie gets anxious, and responds that she will
decide who will do this task. we can see the inner conflict which Malorie is currently going through;
she has to choose between her own blood and the promise she made to Olympia years ago.
Back in the past, we see Olympia's and Malorie's water breaks. The old lady prepares both women
for the delivery in a room upstairs. Malorie gives birth to a boy. Meanwhile, the old man whom they
allowed to enter the house, takes out a notebook from the bag. The notebook has loose-leaf pages of
demon sketches drawn all over. The old man spreads it across the table in the living room. the old
man gets up, and puts the birds in the freezer to kill them. He starts opening windows downstairs.
Tom finds that the old man is missing downstairs, and suspects something fishy. Tom tries to save
the birds, but it's too late! He gets knocked out instantly by the old man with an object.
Douglas starts panicking and getting aggressive in the garage; Old man goes near the garage door,
and opens the garage shutter for Douglas to die. Douglas tries to cover his eyes with his hands.
Upstairs, Olympia delivers a baby girl. Old man reaches the room, takes a look at both the babies.
Malorie, Olympia and the old lady, unaware of what happened downstairs, get all shocked
when seeing the old man uncovering the windows. Malorie and the old lady cover their eyes; but
Olympia looks straight outside the window. Old man asks both of them to show their just born child
to the demon. Olympia is already affected, and starts rushing towards the window with her baby;
but Malorie manages to catch hold of her, and tries to snatch the baby from her hands. Olympia,
who is now prepared to kill herself, just hands over her baby girl to Malorie with the last
ounce of motherhood left, before jumping out of the window and killing herself instantly.
Malorie covers herself and the kids with a blanket, to avoid direct eye contact with the
outside entity. Old man forcefully opens eyes of the old lady in front of the broken window,
causing the old lady to kill herself with scissors. Douglas shows up, holding a shotgun
with his eyes closed. He successfully takes a first shot at the old man, but gets killed later.
Tom, who slowly gets his consciousness back, shoots the Psycho old man.
5 years later, Malorie, Tom, and the kids are still struggling to survive. They are on
the run from the entities. moreover, they can be seen hiding from psychos as well.
Tom and Malorie are in love, and stay as a family with the children. One night, they receive a radio
communication from somewhere afar. The person on the radio informs them that there is a community
far away from where it's completely safe; but the only way to reach the place is to travel via
river; and it is not advisable to bring children on the journey due to dangerous rapids. The person
on the radio tells them that this will be 48 hours journey, and suggests that they need to follow the
birds, once they cross the rapids. Down a small embankment, there will be a wall with a gate. The
next Day, Malorie and Tom start to argue about the legitimacy of the new information. Later that day,
they argue again over the hopeless kind of life the children are having. In fact,
Tom tells Malorie that the kids don't even have names, and that they deserve a mother
more than an instructor. The next day, while the family is preparing for a long journey ahead,
they see a group of psychos who are armed with weapons, approaching them. Tom separates himself
from the family, allowing them to escape. While risking his life by removing his blindfold,
he successfully takes them out one by one using his military training; but shoots himself after
seeing the entity with bare eyes. It is then you are at the beginning of the movie,
where Malorie is instructing the kids on the dos and don'ts of the journey. It's been 42
hours since they started; and now it's time for the rapids. Malorie calls for the meeting under
a blanket. while she is still thinking about whom to assign the job of looking ahead in the rapids;
the girl says she will do it. Malorie looks at the girl and the kitty toy she is holding.
This melts Malorie's heart; and it quickly reminds her of Olympia. So she decides that she will
handle the rapids as they come. She takes control of the boat; but her ability to see and navigate
makes her lose control of the boat. At the end of the rapids, Malorie manages to catch both the
kids. You hear lots of birds chirping around them, showing that the mind game of the entity becomes
stronger. At one point, while running inside the woods, the kids and the mother get separated.
The entity tries to personify Malorie in the ears of the kids, while asking them to remove
the blindfold. Fortunately, Malorie reaches both of them just in time. She holds them strong this
time, and starts rushing towards the wall with a gate, guided by the increasing bird sounds.
She struggles hard to ignore the loud voices she hears while following the birds. People
on the other side of the wall let them in. A man welcomes her inside a room, where they can remove
their blindfolds. It turns out to be a school for blind. The man takes them further inside,
where they see lots of people. This is a dome structure created with dense greenery above,
where lots of birds reside happily. Malorie and the kids open the bird box, and let them
join the other birds. There you see Dr. Lapam as well, who is overwhelmed to see that Malorie has
survived! She asks the names of the kids. Malorie responds the girl is Olympia, whom she has named
after the sweetest girl she ever met; and boy is Tom, and that she is their mother!
