[@pathetic2399]

The monsters are so weak. The characters have no reason to be afraid of them. Can't open doors, can't exist inside a house even if rhere are ways to get inside ( why are thwy confined to outside), Are stilted by people in blind folds. They're not scary at all

[@carmelothegoat1892]

willstob it's a jeep not a dodge

[@-psilo-9071]

I was wondering the whole time how they couldn't get in doors at all.

[@Edriely]

Maybe the monsters are so large and clumsy that their fine motor control which they would need to remove the blindfolds from the tiny humans is really bad so they can shake cars but can’t turn doorknobs or remove blindfolds. Yeah, I dunno, never seen the movie, just know that it’s a Happening ripoff basically and it’s actually really lame. Between this channel and cinema sins, I think I got the gist of how it progresses.

[@skullsaintdead]

Well, they have the ability to create gusts of wind, we see that at the end, just no motor skills i'd say (hence the inability to get 'into' things, cars, houses with door handles). So if all you had was a piece of cloth draped over your eyes (not tied), they'd be able to remove it because they can create wind.

[@elle3562]

They had a whole scene and character devoted to showing how looking at them through a screen still isn't safe, but at the start they have live news footage of cities full of people killing themselves, so... huh

[@kaydwessie296]

Hey yeah what the fuck is up with that?

[@primetyrant2891]

Might have been the live feed that does you in. Then again, how were any operators alive to pass on the footage? Did they just conveniently carefully placed the camera on the ground before violently killing themselves? And the fragile equipment survived long enough for someone else to pick it up in the middle of the panic? Pregnant woman got knocked aside several times in first encursion she met, and it was way smaller in amount of people compared to some of the footage that was shown and a pregnant woman is easier to notice than an abandoned camera.

[@RichterVonFuchs]

It's essentially a (bad) lovecraft movie. If you glimpse it you lose your sanity. However they don't seem to know how to pull it off well, they get the general gist of how spooky not being able to see the object of horror is but don't realize you can't just do that. They also hilariously have created very few rules/boundaries for these horror, and in the same 2 hour movie broke those rules! How! My biggest issue is that the monster makes people commit mass suicide if you look at it, no wait it's when you looked at the eyes of an infected person, no wait it's just the monster again and you don't commit suicide sometimes you become essentially a hivemind who animalistically tries to get people to look at the magnificent horror , no wait they're not always a hivemind and sometimes they can be sane enough to trick people that he's not crazy when he has clearly seen their visage to the point he can draw their appearances from memory, oh wait they're all like that now. Like it cannot seem to decide what they can/cannot do or what exactly even is happening

[@katiebayliss9887]

RichterVonFuchs don't even true to compare this to lovecraft. Sure he was a predictable writer and didn't understand(and was scared) of a lot of ridiculous things, but this shit isn't in anyway as epic as Cthulhu.

[@rikowolfin4984]

@@RichterVonFuchs I don't think the movie is great ether, but I seriously think you misunderstood a lot of things during it if you jumped to that many conclusions for seemingly no reason. At no point do they even hint at the idea that you would die if you looked at the eyes of an infected person so I don't understand where you got that from, the possessed people is a fine twist in my opinion as it brings some danger from something other than the shapeless figures that have already been basically defeated by blind folds. There was never a 'hivemind' of infected ether, just one group of crazy people and even they had to communicate with each other meaning they obviously weren't connected at any point ether and just working towards their common interest of making people see. Greg was always crazy from the start and didn't really hide it that well when you think about it, he just made up a story and the people stupidly believed him like the other guy at the super market only he waited because he would have been shot if he tried anything and fail converting anyone, he would have easily been caught in his lies if they bothered to check his eyes and his suit case but they didn't because Bald man was bad while dumb fat chick was good. Also you don't have to explain how everything works from the first five minutes the monster appears, you just have to keep your rules consistent with each other which they mostly did, such as rule 2 doesn't necessarily break rule 1 for the Bird Box monster as all it does is makes you go crazy and where as rule 2 makes you go crazy and want to make other people see the monster as well. The connection is that people go crazy when looking at it which is the one hard rule it has and that never changes, some people just decide to kill themselves instead while others embrace it.

Trouble in large numbers The film wasn’t “riddled with holes.”

[@kortkunig2291]

It's weird how some people describe Bird Box as "Lovecraftian Horror" because you don't see whatever makes people kill themselves. The way the people kill themselves makes no sense to me. When that one dude sailed into Cthulhu he didn't want to kill himself; it was out of desperation to stop whatever is there. When that other dude jumped out of his window in Dagon it wasn't because he snapped in a matter of seconds. Tl;dr: Bird Box sucks. Kinda curious why people like it. But don't really care.

[@misterb3577]

You know, when I first saw this movie, I actually came up with a better idea for what it could be about. It was a SERIOUSLY wasted opportunity to have Bullock meeting blind people a last minute twist at the very end of the movie... What if the main character (or a secondary protagonist) was actually blind, and they end up having to teach everyone else how to function in this world without depending on their eyesight? This would give them an edge over the mysterious force that makes people kill themselves, but would also put them at a serious disadvantage against the insane people who don't need to cover their eyes. Considering that the insane worship the mysterious entity and are constantly trying to make others look at it, they will view those completely incapable of looking at it as heathens that must be destroyed. Thus, the characters must use their wits to protect themselves (and especially the blind person) from the insane humans while also learning how to live in a world where opening their eyes could lead to their immediate deaths. BAM, I'll take my millions of dollars now, please!
