MANILA — A sci-fi thriller from the producers of “The Quiet Place” and “The Purge” imagines a world on its fourth year of coronavirus lockdown, as seen in its trailer released on Friday.

In “Songbird,” whose trailer quickly made the rounds on social media, the latest mutation of the virus, COVID-23, has mutated yet again and now “attacks the brain tissue.”The dystopian setting has infected Americans “ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones, from which there is no escape.”

“Songbird’s” story centers on a courier, Nico , who happens to be immune to the virus, as he races to reach his girlfriend, Sara , after she is believed to be infected, with lockdown enforcers quick to trace her. Watch more in iWantTFC With its sensitive subject — COVID-19 continues to claim lives and infect millions — “Songbird” received a flood of comments questioning its timing, particularly on its YouTube upload.“I feel like I'm living in an Onion article, because it hasn't been a year and Michael Bay is already cashing in on the COVID-19 virus. Absolutely distasteful,” another said.

Similarly, a comment that drew dozens of likes noted how “Songbird” can have a negative impact on people who might see it.
