Bird Box home becomes a tourist attraction

Netflix’s latest scary movie, Bird Box has become a cult hit and the owner of the home where Sandra Bullock took refuge has become a tourist attraction.

Fans are flocking, (excuse the pun), to the home in Monrovia, which is about 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles, to take photos outside.

According to TMZ, the owner was paid $12k for exterior shots of her home to be taken and it’s where several key characters hide out from an evil force.

The stone staircase is rather distinctive in design, as is the cobbled stone wall and wooden canopy.

In the movie, Bullock plays post-apocalyptic survivor Malorie Hayes escorting two children to a safe compound after mass hysteria led to murders and suicides of most of the population.

Talking to TMZ, the owner said: ‘A handful of visitors have been showing up to take photos at the house every day, including Christmas Day, since the movie was released on December 13.

‘Everyone who has stopped by to snap a pic of the Bird Box house has been very polite, and some have even knocked on the door to ask for permission.’

But she did admit she has not seen the movie and doesn’t even have a Netflix account.

That may well be a wise decision considering what happens at the home in the film.

Without giving too much away, in the movie, the windows are covered up to protect the residents from the evil forces outside and they have to wear blindfolds to shield their eyes.

So if the homeowner HAD watched it, she might not feel too happy about opening the curtains each morning.

TMZ write that the home has been used in three other movies in the last 20 years, but she couldn’t remember which.
