Howard Berger – Bird Box’s special effects makeup creator – shared an image of the creature on Instagram, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the unused prosthetics. ‘’It’s always a bit disappointing when so much effort goes into something that ends up in the cutting room floor,” Berger wrote alongside the images, “but I get it and it’s always what is best for the final product.” Screenwriter Eric Heisserer, who previously adapted Arrival for the big screen, has spoken about the deleted scene which would have included the monsters full form. He told Bloody Disgusting: “There was a time when one of the producers was like, ‘No, you have to see something at some point’ and forced me to write essentially a nightmare sequence where Malorie experiences one in that house.” Sandra Bullock, who plays Malorie, also spoke about filming the scene with the prosthetics, which were mounted onto a green body: “It was snake-like, and I was like, ‘I don’t want to see it when it first happens. Then it was like, ‘Don’t show it to me because.’ Every time I did it, I was like, ‘Shit, that’s a different film.’” Bird Box was watched by over 45 million people during its first seven days on Netflix.
