"Just remove your blindfolds and hit that subscribe button" Nice try Cthulu.

Quiet place: Can't talk BirdBox: Can't see Periodic table and multiplication table: Can't remember
-
Simply put its Cosmic horror. Letting our brains fill in the gaps of what we've been told will be scarier than whatever they could show us, goes back to the innate fear most have for something unknown
-
Me enjoying a horror movie about a monster who kills people when they see it: Matpat trying to tell me its a giant squid written by a man from Rhode Island:
-
Normal people: dies seeing it Blind people: hmm pathetic
-
How to survive this monster Step 1: be the cameraman
-
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

Man, I am gonna miss MatPat. He was a big part of my childhood and I didn’t even realize it until I was in 8th grade. But that’s just a theory.

Wait what if the monster looked in a mirror-

I finally figured out what the Birdbox monster is: Sonic The Hedgehog (2019)

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 that the thing that surprised me more than anything about Bird Box was the amount of underrated talent in it. John Malkovich, Tom Hollander, BD Wong, David Dastmalchian, Sarah Paulson, and of course Sandra Bullock.

Bird box monster: * exists * Blind people: * exist * Bird box monster: you weren't supposed to do that
-
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.
-
I was thinking that the monster was actually death personified. Like not singular, more like grim reapers of all types from across the world. That would help explain why they can’t open doors, why they are described as beautiful and not too bad once they see them, and why the drawings are so varied. They’re seeing different regions of the grim reaper. It explains the ability to change their voices to dead and living loved ones. The only thing it doesn’t explain is why the insane aren’t affected.

this reminds me of "when day breaks" an SCP-001 proposal
-
A little theory of mine: the creature is the physical manifestation of one’s greatest guilt. It may seem like it’s “not so bad” or confusing enough to say “oh my God what the f*ck is that?” but once you finally recognize it, it drives you mad to the point where the only way to stop it is to end your own life.

Bird Box monster: Exists Blind person: I'm about to end this man's whole career!

Who else came back to this video after the release of Bird Box Barcelona?
-
Bird Box Bercelona is actually a great movie, and I'd love to see MatPat make a theory about it
