Eles podem entrar, mas não são strongs o suficiente para arrombar uma porta.

As criaturas não parecem capazes de atravessar barreiras, como portas ou janelas gradeadas. No entanto, no romance, eles entram em salas abertas e casas.

Malorie takes a dog while searching a bar/nightclub in the neighborhood for audio equipment. While Malorie searches the bar blindfolded, one of the creatures is inside and she hears the dog go insane.

O filme retrata as criaturas de maneira bem diferente.

A creature is inside the room with Malorie and Olympia when they're giving birth. That's when Olympia see it, not like in the film where she sees it from outside the window. The film did some REALLY stupid stuff with the creatures. They don't shake trees, make leaves levitate or appear to you as your worst fear or dead loved one. They don't speak to you in voices either. They seem to just... exist. It's almost as if they don't even know what their effect is. They don't open doors but will go through open doors, though. They don't even seem actively malicious. A creature almost takes Malorie's blindfold off when she's on the river. It pulls the blindfold from her face and she puts her hands on the blindfold and says, "This is mine" and after a tense moment, the creature leaves.

No filme, as criaturas têm essa presença e parecem controlar o vento. Daí carros tremendo, folhas voando, cabelos levantando, etc Isso não é suficiente para quebrar uma porta da casa.
