The monsters don't appear to be strong enough to physically harm people or even break through doors and windows, which is why they rely on some people becoming their disciples and trying to force others into looking at them. When they get close to Girl, her hair can be seen lifting from her head. What we do know about the monsters is that they're invisible when no one is looking at them (or at least, that's how the Bier chooses to portray them), but they are detectable by the way they affect gravity - arriving in gusts of wind that blow leaves around, and even causing leaves to lift off the ground and hover in the air. Malorie tells the children that they can set the birds in their bird box free now, and they do so, watching the birds fly up into the canopy. Inside the school is a courtyard filled with birds and covered by a green canopy. Once they are cleared, Malorie realizes that the sanctuary is actually a school for the blind, so most of the inhabitants are completely immune to the entities. Eventually the door opens and the three of them are ushered inside, where their eyes are quickly checked for signs of infection. To her relief, Girl finally returns, and the three of them make their way to the sanctuary.īanging frantically on the door as the entities gather behind her, Malorie begs the people inside to at least let her children in. Panicking, Malorie apologizes and finishes the story that Tom was telling them earlier, promising that one day the children will be able to play freely with other children and climb trees. Malorie manages to find Boy by the ringing of his bicycle bell, but Girl has dropped hers and won't come when called, because - as Boy explains - Malorie has been so harsh with them that Girl is afraid of her. The children wander off in different directions and the entities whisper to them in Malorie's voice, encouraging them to take off their blindfolds. Walking blindfolded through unfamiliar woods is treacherous, and Malorie trips and falls down a slope, briefly knocking herself out. The final part of the journey proves to be the most difficult. His irises warp, but with great effort he manages to shoot the final marauder before he is compelled to shoot himself in the head. Tom pursues him, but catches sight of one of the entities. Tom removes his blindfold and successfully manages to kill most of the attackers, but one marauder (played by David Dastmalchian) spots Malorie and the children and takes off after them. He succeeds in wounding one of them with the shotgun, but quickly realizes that his blindfold is too much of a handicap. Tom tells Malorie to take the kids and head for the boat if he doesn't return, and then goes to the front of the house to confront the marauders. The next day, the whole family heads out on a supply run to a neighboring house, but while they're inside the group of marauders arrives at the house. Tom is keen to find out more about the sanctuary, while Malorie is far less trusting, believing that it could be a way to lure them out so that the entities can get them. After a frightening encounter with a roaming group of marauders corrupted by the entities, they receive a call on the radio from a stranger called Rick, who says there is a sanctuary that can be reached by two days travel along the river. She and Tom are now a couple and have a mostly stable set-up where they can grow their own food, but they've already stripped almost all of the nearby houses bare of resources. It also appears that Gary's drawings are what he sees when he looks at the creatures.At this point Bird Box moves forward five years in time, to shortly before Malorie takes the kids on the trip down the river. It's unclear if his ability to look at the creatures is a result of something in his DNA or if his particular brain chemistry allows him to see the creatures. This results in multiple deaths including Olympia and Douglas'. Of course, Gary is actually one of those infected who do not need to wear blindfolds and he does his best to make everyone in the house "see". Gary says that, though the group of people were infected, they did not need blindfolds and that "they wanted to see" and "were happy" to look at the creatures. When Gary arrives at the house he explains that while he was laying low at a colleague's house, a group of escaped patients from a mental institution broke in to the property and forced its occupants to go outside in order to look at the creatures. Why was Gary able to look at the creatures and not die? It is understood that a hallucination of a family member is what made her enter a burning car. When Douglas' wife Lydia encounters the creature she begins mumbling about her mother who has apparently been dead for 10 years.
