I didn't like it cause the monsters didn't make any sense. It's fine if your movie is a metaphor for something else, but not if it comes at the expense of the literal things happening in your movie
They're literally demons. The book the movie is based on is heavily awash in biblical stuff.
Hell, the entire ending of the movie is a metaphor for biblical shit. blind leading the sighted
ok then. I didn't like it cause the demons didn't make any sense. It's fine if your movie is a metaphor for something else, but not if it comes at the expense of the literal things happening in your movie
They make perfect sense in the book.
so the book explains why the demons want people to look at them knowing they'll be driven to commit suicide yet all the demons seem to do their best to hide so no one can see them then pop out of the bushes the second someone opens their eyes? Or how they make you hear familiar voices to try and convince you to look at them without you ever looking at them? Or why the demons can't just break through a glass window and force your eyes open themselves? I mean they can jump all over a car and rock it or pull a bed attached to a wire but won't dare touch you if you're a 5 year old girl alone in the woods wearing a blindfold? Nothing about them made any sense to me
The creatures don't hide. They're near ubiquitous, almost everywhere. They don't exert any real force because they don't have to. Their whole purpose is to bring about the apocalypse, that's it. No need to put in much effort if you can get us to do it ourselves. You guys are trying to find much more profound, logical meaning behind them, when the reality is ultra simplistic. ---
