‘Bird Box Barcelona’ Brings Netflix’s Apocalyptic Hit to Europe

Apocalyptic horror doesn’t always have to involve zombies or some uncontrollable outbreak. The world of Netflix’s Bird Box, for example, is about mysterious entities and what they make people do to themselves. Normally, in the case of apocalyptic horror, people are desperate to flee something that’s trying to kill them. Despite the faults of the original film, it’s at least unique in its premise.
