I like your idea. Honestly, I hadn't really thought that hard on the movie before.
Also, as for what Silent_Hill_Tourist said here,

Y'know how I aid about the "the eyes are the windows to the soul" maybe with the monsters it's no eyes=no soul?
I'd like to add to that.
Along the no eyes=no soul thing, it also seems like monsters are so insignificant. Just tools, nothing worth having any individuality--souls, for example.
It reminds me of a common film device: the shadowing of a supporting cast member's face to dub them as unimportant in terms of character and emotion, however still there to do the simple job of pushing the plot a little bit or adding a small detail. An example of this, the very famous movie Citizen Kane-- the part with Jed Leland (Joseph Cotten), as an old man in the hospital, and the nurses come up, faces obscured, and insist on moving him as he's trying to have a conversation with reporter Jerry Thompson (William Alland).
I'm sure there are plenty of other examples, but that's the very first one that came to mind.
Again, I like your ideas and in connection with eachother, both of you.
