I like that the entity is never seen in Bird Box. The fact that characters appear to be able to see it, but the audience never does, makes it that much more chilling to me.

[@austinbunny4012]

Ooh 😮 that is true. Now that I think about it, it feels a bit scary.

[@wonderbookk]

We are scared of what we don’t know

[@sammygecko_]

And so they wouldn’t risk the bias/opinions of the audience ruining how scary it is. Instead, the monster is whatever they think it to be (visually). If they had a set design, one half of the audience might be terrified or put in awe, but the other half could just go “what? This is it?? That’s so stupid”

The reason this concept of an unseen villain is so brilliant is that the people who watch the movie can fill in what they fear them most. The reason why characters like Master chief, Predator, or Ghostface are so popular and successful is because the audience can see what they think the monster or character looks like. This makes them popular because the audience either resonates with them or fears them.

I think in my opinion that Charlie was right about it being the demons/spirit that takes the form of youre greatest lost or fear because in that one scene we see a girl see the bird box monster and she said “mom” which was later revealed by the guy that her mom was dead. Not just that but the bird box monster can also sound like our loved ones which the bird box monster used to try to trick Malorie and the two kids to remove there blindfolds. Also I think there are a lot of monsters and not only one monster and they are also different monsters due to the different reactions of people, I also think that these monsters have different abilities like the one where it can mimick voices while others couldn’t.

[@hiddenrambo328]

Consider fallen angels aka Demons as what they are seeing (just as the guy said) they are capable of deceit and look awesome and horrific but not normally allowed to directly hurt people physically/take human life and they have to follow restrictions set out by God (yes you can go after people but no door opening) Job 1:12 “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. *Some time later the rules change* ... Job 2:4-7“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life. 5But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.” 6“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.” 7So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. "In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet's vision depicts them as having four faces: that of a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a human. They have straight legs, four wings, and bull hooves for feet that gleam like polished brass. One set of wings covers their body, and the other is used for flight" Ezekiel 10:11-12 When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved. 12Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels. Job shows there are rules to be followed and while Job could be afflicted his life could not be directly ended but if Job chose he could end it himself. 2 Thess shows Satan comes with power, signs, false wonders and wicked deceptions (like look it's me your loved one, jk it's team satan enjoy insanity). Ezekiel shows that Angels are awe inspiring but also scary and confusing to behold, all up I would say fallen angels fit the bill pretty well and that would make this apocalyptic event the time frame known as the tribulation, the worst time. Matthew 24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

I just read the books, they are amazing. All we get to know about the creatures is that they are not violent, creature is not the right term for them, they make some weird quiet sounds like steps, they have a sense of gathering around specific places, they can climb to the roofs of houses, they can not be "trapped" or "captured" as a creature, they somehow multiply because it's said they have likely tripled 17 years after the first event. Also, in the second boom called Malorie, spoilers ahead, it is discovered a way to see again and live normally, everyone can see again and live normally while using a two way mirror, but the "creatures" never go away.

matpat was spot on with this, in the second birdbox movie (its translated from a different language) we're following the perspective of someone who has seen the creature and survived. When he gets people to look, he sees a glowing aura rise from their bodies into the air, and he describes it as "freeing" them. But he later realizes that is just what the creatures want them to believe

Fun fact: In the next bird box movie they made. Our protagonist is one of the people who saw the monster. And everyone who's seen the monster keeps calling it an angel. Oh and when the protagonist opens there eyes, After they have died these gold things go up in the air. I suspect those are spirits. In all seriousness, there's a lot more religion in the next bird box movie than there is in this one

[@SCARAMOUCHE_160]

NO SPOILERS 😭

[@cloudysensation8406]

I think that's just because those people were religious and that was their interpretation. The second movie actually basically confirms this is based on observer theory in quantum physics, the entity doesn't have a solid form- it changes depending on who's looking at it.

[@MikeB-us5cg]

"Angels to some, demons to others" has never been so apt.

[@arundownshack1019]

I know this video is old, but still. I'd like to propose a different theory. What if instead of the monster being the Great Old One Cthulhu, it's a different elder being from the same mythos, Nyarlathotep. Let's not disregard the other drawings of the creature that were shown. Nyarlathotep is shown as a shapeshifter, so what if the monster was constantly changing? That would explain the different drawings. It would also explain why the monster seems to chase humans. Cthulhu and other higher beings have no regard for humans, as we are below them. However, Nyarlathotep is different in the regard that he takes interest in human beings. But that's just a theory... A COMMENT THEORY! Thanks for reading.. Edit: Wow guys, thanks for the Reddit gold! Seriously though, I'm glad you guys seem to agree with my theory.

[@Fighter11244]

From what you've said here, I think this comment is underappreciated. Although I've not read or learned anything regarding about H. P. Lovecraft and its lore before or after watching this video, it explains everything. Although when thinking about it after writing the first part of this comment, the only thing it doesn't explain is the voice mimicking of alive and dead people and how could it take the form of humans that other people seem to recognize, but it has never seen itself (both probably explained in the H. P. Lovecraft lore I'm assuming if this is the monster). Unless if Nyarlathotep can mimic the voice of people it has never heard and look like people it has (most likely) never seen, then this isn't the monster. But I will admit, it was a good theory that goes with what MatPat was looking into (after explaining away the other mythical creatures.

You mentioned the monster being like infinity, I have a similar but way different theory. There are two things the human brain can't comprehend, Infinity and Nothing. I also believe that the suicidal thoughts are caused by the brain not understanding what it see's. While Film Theory says that the monsters are a representation of infinity, I suspect the opposite, Nothing. The monster for one can't interact with the real world because it is "Nothing". Having nothing to use to interact with the real world. The Incarnation of "Nothing" also uses the voices of dead people, the dead are no longer here and therefore are "Nothing" in most scientific theories on what happens after death. I do not think it is a variation on a previous creature, but the human mind now trying to comprehend something not able to be seen until that point.( I'm not quite sure about how the brain can now see the monster. I suspect it is an evolution of the brain to start, but not be able to finish, comprehending it. This could also be the reason certain insane people are able to "see" the monster. Some crazy people see the world in their own way, so it would alter Nothing into something. One great example is the Joker movie, Where he imagines his own fantasy because he is insane. The reason the car's alarm would react is because something turned into nothing and it changed something that would indeed set off an alarm. a similar thing for how it casts a shadow, the air gets moved and there is no longer something that the sun can transfer light through. The birds in this movie act as a warning for when something bad is about to happen, they can chirp out to warn others. The birds would most likely feel "Nothing" ( some sort of coldness or darkness, but most likely something we never felt before) and would react. That is my personal theory. It probably isn't the whole story, I couldn't really check every possibility because this is not my job. This was just something I thought about after the fact. Also thanks to @shadowless454, I had no idea why the birds chirped until I read your comment.

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” That's the Lovecraft quote you basically hear everyday. The essence of lovecraftian horror is to remain ambiguous so that our creative mind does all the job, which is beautiful. So it makes sense that this theory is pretty weak, that's the point.
