As we get ready for Halloween (and the movie “Halloween” which I am going to see on the actual day a couple of weeks after its opening), we’ve learned of a Thriller/Horror film that is heading to the Netflix streaming service in December. It’s called “Bird Box” and since I’m trying to keep on the occasional spooky release for those fans reading our website, I’ve added the trailer, the premise and the casting down below. Let’s take a look.

Storyline: Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety. (c/o IMDB).

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’ve been very bad at keeping up with the Thrillers and overall Horror films these last few years but I might be sitting down with a bowl of popcorn to watch this one as it looks quite interesting. I also love Sandra Bullock as an actress and have been impressed with the overall quality of the Netflix Original programming. Of course, I really need to get caught up with the Marvel superheroes shows first so they take precedence in my chilling while watching Netflix. What about you? Did this trailer do it for you? It seems to have some startling moments for sure and it will air in December on the streaming service. See you next time and if you don’t think you will be hitting the site for a few days, please enjoy your Halloween.
