It seems more like The Shimmer was a force of change, it breaks down, mixes and recombines everything in its influence. The changes are completely random and apparently in a constant stat of flux even after being supposedly being a new creature, like a part of a persons mind being fused into the altered bear as a part of its voice. This movie is a really disturbing take on how far you can change something till the boundaries of what things it used to be are no longer recognizable.

As I can agree everything in this, me and my friend were looked at this differently. The main lead for our theory was the intesties twirling in the guys body. It very much represented a 4 dimensional loop. Giving us the idea that this shimmer simply enabled our 3D world to use the 4th dimension, causing life to seamlessly cross with itself, and also easilly make leaps in time too that allowed for some of the accelerated progression of life and natural selection that would needed to take much more time in the regular static 3D timescale. The alien in the middle is a bit dodgy. It could be something mainly living in the 4th dimension or was just a resoult of whatever it encountered thus far or simply just a desprete attempt to end the movie with something at least. DUnno I think without the brain fuck at the end it would be still a complete movie.

As for the fire, the Shimmer tried to do with it what it had done with everything else but in spreading the fire it torched itself.
