“The monster always appears at 12:07 A.M., and that’s no coincidence,” explains Bayona. “Choosing that moment is symbolically meaningful because midnight is the witching hour, a time when magical things occur. And the seven refers to the idea of renewal. In the Bible, the number seven is linked to perfection, and astrologers see it as a magic number. For example, there are seven wonders of the world, days of the week, and deadly sins” adds Bayona. “God creates the world in six days, and on the seventh, he rests. He sets that aside for man to reflect on his creation and wonder about the world’s meaning. It’s the day of spiritual growth, of maturation.” – (J.A. Bayona, A Monster Calls: The Art and Vision Behind the Film)
