“Bird Box: Barcelona” (*** out of four) was a creepy sequel to the 2018 Netflix hit set in Barcelona in which a virus has decimated the world and one survivor (Mario Casas) and his daughter (Alejandra Howard) have to fight against other survivors and various deadly outbreaks to stay alive. Yet another post-apocalyptic/catastrophe survival story in the mold of “28 Days Later” but it’s overall well-done and well-directed and staged by David and Alex Pastor and moves swiftly. Like the original, this one has continuous flashbacks and cutting back-and-forth in time but unlike the original it’s pretty easy to get used to here.
