The Scariest Horror Movie Villains You Never Actually See – /Film

It may have been fun to play The Bird Box challenge back in 2018, an online phenomenon wherein people attempted to accomplish everyday tasks while blindfolded, but it seems there is nothing as fun in Susanne Bier's "Bird Box," a dark, post-apocalyptic movie about unseen entities that, like in "The Happening," inspire a rash of suicides. The entities, never described or filmed, are evidently so terrifying, or perhaps possess such demonic power, that they cause whoever looks at them to take their own lives. People smash their heads into walls. Others go feral and attack. Paranoia bouts. "Bird Box" came at a time when humanity was suspicious of its neighbors and may stand as a polemic of the year it was released.

"Bird Box" has clear metaphors for mass hysteria, and how people can be moved to extremes by the very thought of an outside threat, even if they have to invent it themselves. The entities may very well be imagined, as far as the audience in concerned, and moving through the world blindfolded is a potent symbol to be sure.

The Bird Box challenge, meanwhile, has mercifully come to an end.
