I like how there are dogs in Bird Box: Barcelona. On the surface, it is an adorable idea because who doesn't loves dogs? But on the inside, it's an intriguing concept. Cause wtf? Who thought of this? And they gotta cover their eyes too? Now we know the Creatures in Bird Box looks different for everybody and they have a pretty high success rate with their deathgaze. (Pretty much monsters from Vanishing on 7th Street but 2x more effective.) But what does their effect look like for the dogs? Why is this the only thing that interests me in this movie? It's because this movie stinks. It totally nerfs the Creatures' fear factor in this one, they're not even the main antagonist in it, it's something human. I wish that creepy apparition kid would stfu as well. There's too much focus on her and the dude's backstory which completely changes the horror subgenre from Eldritch Horror to regular psychological. No character is long-lived enough for us to care about them so the movie feels like just a bunch of checkpoints. And why wasn't there more usage of the birds? Vital plot item and what the title of this movie franchise is. They legit appeared only once at the very end like,"in case you forgot, this franchise is part of Bird Box, the movie we d-riding on rn!". Also. Imo, too many eyes visble.
