In the psychological thriller directed by Susanne Bier, Sandra Bullock is playing a mom who wears a blindfold to avoid seeing mysterious forces that cause people to commit suicide.
In the movie, people blindfold themselves to avoid seeing these forces, even as they perform ordinary tasks - such as driving, rowing a boat etc.
Fans of the film took on the #BirdBoxChallenge, and are now performing everyday tasks completely blindfolded. After seeing people attempt the same, Netflix actually got on Twitter and sent out a warning to put a stop to it.

Can¡¯t believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE. 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.

It's just been three days into 2019 and it's not too late to resolve for things to be different and maybe saner in terms of challenges.
Donald Trump has been doing the #BirdBoxChallenge ever since he took the oath of office. Completely incompetent and inept.
