Monsters are like native Arabic culture and Islamic beliefs. No monsters trampled on humans in the film, but only the killing of monsters by the US military.
I thought the director wanted to highlight the cruelty of war with the background of the end times, until the school bus.
The suppression of local cultural beliefs ultimately suffers only from civilians. The little monster flying out of the iron box directly metaphors that the style of belief has been integrated into this nih land.
After the death of the monster, it turns into spores and spreads across the land, which can be regarded as the breakdown of religious beliefs and separation into various extremist organizations. And at the end, the new monster on the ground can be seen as a resentment body caused by the hatred and anger in the hearts of people ravaged by war!
The angry and helpless US military's wanton killing of civilians shows that the war will only injure both sides.
The close-up of the monster fighting dog at the beginning and the protagonist's inner narration directly carry out the whole theme.
