Look (If You Dare) at the 'Bird Box' Monsters That Were Cut From the Movie
In the movie "Bird Box" we never actually see the monsters that drove people to kill themselves. And that's a good thing, now that we've seen what they were supposed to look like.
Star Sandra Bullock admitted that instead of being scared, she laughed when she saw the creature design. Oops! Director Susanne Bier made the decision to cut the "long, fat baby" (as Bullock referred to it), instead of risking audiences laughing as well.
"It so easily becomes funny," Bier told Collider. "We actually shot that and spent a lot of energy on, but every time I saw it, I was like, 'This is not going to be tense.'"
SFX Atlas, who are disappointed their hard work was in vain, shared what the monster that appears to Bullock's character would have looked like. They've since taken down their Instagram post, but here's the photos they shared:
Instead, the film left us with the disturbed, Lovecraftian drawings of one of the few characters who was able to look at the creatures and not commit suicide.
In other "Bird Box" news, Nielsen reports that 26 million people watched the thriller in its first week on Netflix. That's not quite the number Netflix claims (which was 45 million), but still very impressive.
