    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.

    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.

  • @skeletor1344
    @skeletor1344 Před rokem +30

    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.

  • @kinseyfaucette4377

    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

    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.

      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”

    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.

    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.

    I wonder what would happen if there’s a crossover with the creatures from bird box and the creatures from a silent place in the same universe/town. Like what would that be like realistically if they had to walk around without seeing but also make sure not to make noise.
    The absolute most terrifying would be like what was mentioned in another episode, with both of those and the weeping angels though. A monster you HAVE to look like every second, one you can’t look at, and at the same time one you can’t make any sound near

Which tracks, especially if you consider the only people that don't just go crazy already ARE crazy.

However, at 12:49 of the video he also says that the entity mimics the voice of Mallory who is the protagonist to get her kids to remove their blindfolds. Mallory is not dead though therefor ruing this part of Mat Pats theroy.

      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.

If the angels looked like what people say they look like everyone who would have seen them in the bible (ex. mary, the shepherds) would have fainted when they saw them, which they didn't, they were just merely shocked and slightly afraid and i would be too if i saw a floating human with wings.

The idea builds a sense of subconscious realism for the audience because seeing is believing & keeping the true sight of the monster a secret adds to the same fear response the characters in the film are undergoing.

    As a bonus, Goofy has a history of romancing Clarabelle when Horace isn't so there's even room for a film of his to include the next two creepiest choices.😅

    One thing about these creatures (versus A Quiet Place) I like, is that you have a better chance of survival. Its so hard to not make any sound. If you do, some terrifying creature will literally eat you or chop you to bits. At least in this story, they only need to be blind folded outside. As long as you cover the windows, you are "safe"/safer.

    Okay, I have a film theory suggestion that I've been meaning to ask but never gotten around to ask it. Here it is: How many rules and regulations did Pheneas, Ferb, and their friends break throughout the series? There's got to be like a 100 of them right?! And if they were full blown adults what kind of punishments and fines would they have to serve? Thanks for readin' this! From a loyal theorist!

    Definitely want to research the significance behind the biggest parts of the movie. Birds. I wonder if birds have any religious or cultural significance in a rapture/protection situation. Could just be a thing thrown in there to help the characters out and provide depth, but the last scene with all of the flying birds in the garden like safe house seem significant image wise

    You know, the whole Rapture
    thing does actually make a bit of sense, when you consider that biblically accurate angels look much more like Cosmic Horrors, such as the drawings we witnessed
