Songbird – A Romantic Thriller for the Pandemic Era | Video Review

December 19, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Songbird, 2020.

Directed by Adam Mason.
Starring KJ Apa, Sofia Carson, Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Peter Stormare, Alexandra Daddario, Paul Walter Hauser, and Demi Moore.

While other critics don’t seem to enjoy this, our host EJ Moreno dives into why Songbird doesn’t really offend him. There’s enough in this film to enjoy the ride from the thrilling action to the romantic plot. Though, for those extremely sensitive to the current global health pandemic, this may be a bit tough to watch.

Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

And check out our interview with director Adam Mason here…

In the terrifying thriller ​SONGBIRD,​ the COVID-23 virus has mutated, and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown. Infected Americans are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones, from which there is no escape, as a few brave souls fight back against the forces of oppression. Amid this dystopian landscape, a fearless courier, Nico (KJ Apa), who’s immune to the deadly pathogen, finds hope and love with Sara (Sofia Carson), though her lockdown prohibits them from physical contact. When Sara is believed to have become infected, Nico races desperately across the barren streets of Los Angeles in search of the only thing that can save her from imprisonment… or worse.

Songbird is out now in the US and UK.
