Trailer for Netflix sensation 'Bird Box'

There are not many movies out there where most of the main characters are finished off long before the end of the movie, but Netflix smash Bird Box is one such vehicle that pays scant respect to the big names that are in the cast.


Sandra Bullock may have been one of the lucky ones to make it through the whole two hours but she gets there pretty much alone.


Viewers have labelled the psychological thriller 'the most frightening they've ever watched' and with more than 45 million people streaming the film in its first seven days, it has become the smash hit of the Christmas holidays.

With Bird Box giving countless viewers nightmares, it was the nature of how the characters were bumped off that sent chills down the spines of many.

So, this is how the main characters were finished off and it was not a pretty sight for the most part.
