Sandra Bullock's survival thriller 'Bird Box' is being compared to 'A Quiet Place'
Sandra Bullock makes her Netflix film debut in action thriller Bird Box from The Night Manager director Susanne Bier and the first trailer has landed.
She plays Malorie, a survivor of a mysterious force that has decimated the world’s population, who is doing everything she can to keep herself and her children alive.
However, in order to find sanctuary, she must venture down a treacherous river and endure two days of travel while blindfolded so they do not fall victim to the torment of this dangerous foe.
The premise has a few people thinking about A Quiet Place.
The horror – written by, directed and starring John Krasinski – followed a family who were forced to make no sound in order to stave off attacks from aliens with great hearing.
Bird Box just told The Quiet Place "hold my beer." CHILLS!https://t.co/beBZEkYgFo
