I read an article that mentioned that these “creatures” masqueraded as people's worst fears; thereby forcing them to kill themselves.

I really enjoyed the movie, but I never read the book. I heard a lot of people that read the book hated the movie.

I'm curious whether the origin is detailed in the book and they didn't have enough screen time to address it? The creatures' origins were never explored in the film. Viewers aren't given much information about them other than the fact that sane people can't look at them, and insane people think they're beautiful. I can't help but question if they were even corporeal beings.

I think the movie sucked. The CGI was good, and the characters were okay, but everything else is just absolutely terrible—very terrible.

Their true forms and origins are kept vague or shrouded in mystery similar to Lovecraftian monsters. But they may be aliens or beings from another dimension.

"Bird Box" was intense and had a unique concept. Sandra Bullock's performance was outstanding, and the suspense kept me on edge.
