It is evident antichrist writers and directors are at work. The original Bird Box starring Sandra Bullock was a cleaver apocalyptic film that did not mock any religion or eschatological viewpoint. In fact, it respected all religious views and mythologies. The sequel is the antithesis, it features cultists who believe that making people see The Creatures is an act of instituting the Christian Rapture. The protagonist, Sebastian, even sees souls fly into heavens when he makes them see the suicide inducing creatures. Sebastian is very Catholic, giving his daughter and another girl a Seraphim angel medallion which features six wings. Sebastin who sees his daughter is controlled in his Catholic faith to believe killing people via making them see the Entities will make him finally be with his daughter again. The main antagonist is a Catholic Priest who draws the Eye of Horus and Anubis (All Seeing Eye) on foreheads and calls it the Lord’s work to make people see the angels (creatures) and commit suicide. The film not only demonizes Catholic & Christian beliefs, it undermines the premise of the first film, that this is not a virus, but some entity (creatures) that when seen makes good people slay themselves as they hear dead relatives and makes psychopaths and mentally ill servants, Barcelona amends servants and calls them seers who can see The Creatures and obey them or not. Instead of psychos and mentally ill being servants of The Entities like in the first Bird Box, its traumatized people who’s DNA has changed from trauma that become seers. Again altering lore because the writers are too lazy to connect this Barcelona tale with The American original.
The original Bird Box is a classic, the cast was perfect and settings of a house, woods, hospital, and etc allowed the suspense to build and ebb at the right intervals. Barcelona feels like a bad fan fiction and something Robert Rodriguez would make with its Once Upon A Time In Mexico vibes. The protagonist Sebastian you do not root for like Malory (Sandra Bullock) in the first film because until the final act Sebastian is a villain killing people from a mad quasi-Catholic Creatures religion. It was better in first film when the cultists and seers treated The Creatures as unique religion, “You need to see! It will cleanse the world.” Reminds me of children’s hymn “be careful what your little eyes see,” and our Lord’s words, “The eye is the lamp of the body. You draw light into your body through your eyes, and light shines out to the world through your eyes. So if your eye is well and shows you what is true, then your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is clouded or evil, then your body will be filled with evil and dark clouds. And the darkness that takes over the body of a child of God who has gone astray—that is the deepest, darkest darkness there is.” (Matthew 6:22-24). In Barcelona it is blended with Catholicism and Christianity making it not palpable, and offensive to estimated 3.3 Billion people on earth! Including me! I hated how this Bird Box sequel makes Christian beliefs creepy and insane looking via The Priest Seer and The Protagonist rapturing people by making them look at the suicide inducing supernatural creatures.
Bird Box built a very believable world with a threat that terrifies, and rules like wear a blind fold, birds sense them (oh but in Barceloma animals can be controlled by the Creatures like birds who go kamikaze!) that made it engrossing, that combined with a great cast made it work. Barcelona is a b-movie that takes elements of Bird Box, and contradicts lore and makes it a Resident Evil rip off. Before The Creatures are supernatural, in this sequel they are virus that may have a cure.. ugh everything has to be a virus post-Covid. The action is grungy and a lot of the film is incoherent and antichrist. While I enjoyed the original Bird Box, this film is so bad in comparison that I cannot say pass on streaming it more! Its horrid, painting Catholic/Christianity in a bad light via the protagonist and antagonist, and it contradicts all the lore of the first film: creatures turned into virus (though they say they could be Quantum beings, the ending goes for virus explanation and banks on it), Cult of the Creature becomes Church and Cult hybrid, that the Entities use anything to control you if you become a seer: god, devil, angels, and etc when the first movie says its the mentally il, murderers, and psychotic people who become seers worshipping The Creatures as they really are, and the birds sense and can see The Creatures in the first, but in Barcelona they can become suicidal like humans who see The Entities.
I highly recommend you avoid this Satanic film. It will attempt to insert lies in your mind about your faith and make the things of the church seem creepy and mentally ill. We should not support films that try to undermine and demonize faith. Amen.
