r/BirdBox

Gary is the second antagonist of Bird Box. He tells the characters that his friends' eyes were forced open outside to witness the creatures. Sources say that this event was what drove Gary insane but I have reason to believe different.

When Gary first enters the house, his irises appear to be unchanged. As the film depicts the transformation, the irises change colour and branch through the rest of the eye quite promptly. He also doesn't inherit any behaviour of the other freaks; approaching victims with detectable intent to kill/transform. This justifies my theory, Gary wasn't infected until after entering the house.

So how did he get infected? The scene prior to his rage showed him

I just watched the movie, and I have a burning question. That crazy dude was trying to show the babies the monsters, right? But how would the babies commit suicide?

How HD must've the cameras in the movie been to display anything beyond a slightly pixelized version of the creatures? Ever try reading a license plate on a car in the street from a 4K camera mounted on your roof above the driveway? Hint: it's blurry.

Ok, so I just watched Bird Box for the first (technically second) time and it got me thinking. What if the "monsters" aren't actually scary like we all assumed. What if it's actually something good and beautiful like heaven for example? Maybe the people see everything they've ever dreamed of, their deepest desires, stuff that they didn't even know they wanted and that drives them to suicide (in an attempt to go to heaven or smth like it). I really wanna know what everyone else thinks about this. I'm confused as hell.

Took over dead sub, open now.
