8 Horror Movie Mysteries That Will Never Be Solved
4. Who Actually Is The Bye-Bye Man?- "The Bye-Bye Man"
The Bye Bye Man is a 2017 horror that left audiences confused and disheartened by its severe lack of plot substance. Not only did it have two-dimensional characters that could have been replaced with inanimate objects, but it also left one very large unanswered question: who the living hell was the 'Bye-Bye Man'?!
Before meeting college students John, Elliot and Sasha as they move into their new joint home, the audience are provided with the much needed foreknowledge of the antagonist's existence in the opening sequence. Limited information is given away about the nature of the Bye Bye Man, other than he is often accompanied by the sounds of coins falling to the floor. The nature of what accompanies him and the fear which he instils in his victims is genuinely intriguing, and in a way sets up a very interesting villain that has the potential for a great backstory.
Unfortunately, this is not at all delivered upon and a backstory is simply not provided in any way, shape or form. Nothing about his existence makes any sense, and not even the people within the film know anything about who he is
