While the post-apocalyptic film subgenre seems to focus on the world after a catastrophic event (thus “post”), some of the best scenes in those films are when you get to see the tension and suspense of watching the world descend into panic. And apparently, Netflix has focused on that time when crafting the new “Bird Box” spinoff film, ‘Barcelona.’

As seen in the teaser for “Bird Box Barcelona,” the film follows the events immediately after the world becomes aware of the monsters on Earth that will infect the minds of people and force them to kill themselves when they look into their eyes. ‘Barcelona’ follows a group of people trying to flee the city as these monsters run amok and everyone has to wear blindfolds to protect themselves. ‘Barcelona’ is a spinoff of the massively popular Netflix film, “Bird Box,” which was released back in 2018.
The thriller stars Mario Casas, Georgina Campbell, Alejandra Howard, Naila Schuberth, Diego Calva, Patrick Criado, Lola Dueñas, Gonzalo De Castro, Michelle Jenner, and Leonardo Sbaraglia. “Bird Box Barcelona” is written and directed by Álex Pastor and David Pastor.
“Bird Box Barcelona” debuts on Netflix on July 14. You can watch the new teaser below.
