Bird Box’s Malorie: DIY Cosplay
In the hit Netflix film ‘Bird Box’, Malorie Hayes (played by Sandra Bullock) has experienced enough trauma for several lifetimes. We meet her as a pregnant, single mother whose sister takes her own life during a spreading epidemic mass-suicide, and see her all the way through to safety with her two children “Boy” and “Girl.”
Her journey down the river is a challenging one—keeping enough resources in a canoe constantly threatening to capsize while you’re blindfolded isn’t easy. Why the blindfold? Well because if you see it, you kill yourself.

She also carries a knife, because she’s not to be messed with. Hiking boots prevent her from twisting her ankle, which is crucial because she can’t see the rocks and roots she could be tripping over.
