AceShowbiz - Chrissy Teigen has blamed Sandra Bullock's hit new Netflix thriller "Bird Box" for keeping her up at night.

The self-confessed scary movie fan has saluted the Oscar winner and director Susanne Bier for shaking her up and leaving her with crazy dreams.

The 33-year-old model, who is married to singer John Legend, took to Twitter late on Wednesday, December 26 to rave about the movie, in which Bullock portrays a mum trying to survive the apocalypse.

"I was taking a bit of a holiday break for family time but I just watched bird box and my whole heart is sore," she wrote. "I need company is anyone there.
