Best Movies similar to Bird Box:

A Quiet Place (2018)

When I think of movies similar to Bird box, A Quiet Place (2018) is the first film that crossed my mind. This movie too is set in a post-apocalyptic world filled with blind alien creatures with ultra sensitive hearing ability that will kill you if you make any sound.

Like how the surviving characters in Bird box must abandon their sense of sight, the people here must avoid making any noise in order to survive. Both these movies have very gripping stories with many similar themes.

The Mist (2007)

The Mist is a 2017 thriller movie based on Stephen King’s 1980 book of the same name. Thew movie follows David and his son who are trapped in an supermarket with other citizens when their town in engulfed in a thick mist that also brings bloodthirsty creatures which will kill any one in their path.

The Happening (2008)

The Happening by M. Night Shyamalan is another movie that came across my mind when I thought of similar movies like Bird Box. The story follows Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) a high school teacher who along with his wife and his friends daughter tries to escape an mysterious plague that causes anyone infected to commit suicide.

I hope the above synopsis of the movie is enough to see why this movie (even though got mixed reviews) to be on this list.

The Road (2009)

The Road is another movie that is set in an post-apocalyptic dystopian world that follows a father (Viggo Mortensen) and his sons journey through the wasteland filled with dangerous group of cannibals. They must scavenge the world for supplies avoiding the cannibals in order to find a safe environment.

Instead of mother and her children’s journey through post apocalyptic world like Bird Box, this movie is a journey of Father and son duo in the dystopian wastelands.

It Comes at Night is an 2017 psychological horror thriller where the world is ravaged by an unnatural threat leaving only a few survivors.
