We don’t know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes,” Netflix publicly announced on their official Twitter account.

Bird Box is a psychological thriller starring a single mother (Sandra Bullock) who tries to protect her children from invisible threats. A noteworthy feature in the film is that the survivors have to wear a blindfold to avoid seeing mysterious ‘monsters’ that cause them to commit suicide.
