Barcelona, while attempting innovation, mirrors the original's sense-based danger. Fails to thrill as a horror or survival story.

With great ambition, Bird Box: Barcelona struggles to deliver the thrills but manages to offer watchable, engaging content.

Meet Sebastián, played by Mario Casas. He's a struggling father navigating a post-apocalyptic Barcelona, where looking at creatures equals suicide.

An intriguing first-act twist takes Sebastián's journey from survival to something more disturbing. Execution, though, is often clumsy.

The film flings around heavy words like grief and loss, aiming to explore religious fervor and trauma, but messages get lost.

Barcelona outperforms the original in nastiness. It offers thrilling set pieces, but lacks Bullock's anchoring presence.

Poor visual choices for creatures and unnecessary overexplanations hinder suspense, making Barcelona's problems as noticeable as the original's.

Bird Box: Barcelona returns us to a world once forgotten, presenting a competently made sequel with unexpected narrative elements.
