10 More Shocking Horror Movie Monsters With Surprising Powers
6. The Unseen Creatures - Bird Box
Despite receiving mixed reviews, Bird Box's irresistible premise allowed the post-apocalyptic thriller to become the most-watched original film on Netflix at the time of release.
The film opens with a horde of hostile creatures invading the world, leading to all-out anarchy. Any person who looks at these unseen entities suffers psychological damage, compelling them to take their own lives with immediate effect. The Creatures' powers work through electronics, meaning a person will become suicidal, even if they glimpse at the monsters through a mobile phone or surveillance footage. As a result, the only way to guarantee not seeing the nebulous beings is to remain blindfolded.
But there's another problem. If an unstable person sees them, they'll be driven to hunt down any unaffected person and force them to look at the Creatures. These sorts of people can behave normally after being infected, allowing them to infiltrate groups and destroy them from within.
Even though the Creatures are a real piece of work, it's remarkable how they caused human civilisation to collapse worldwide within a matter of days without making any physical contact or directly harming anybody.
