They're always involved in the storytelling. They're always involved in the discussion. You know, that's one of the questions that I'm not going to answer because I think the viewers should answer the question for themselves because the audience is one of the main characters in this movie.

Also, my best friend grew up in a butcher shop, and the fact that you're surrounded by all that it really marks you. I wanted to be very realistic, but oddly perturbing. Normally in horror movies the first thing you get is a killing or something like that. I wanted to have something that was very organic, and that has to do with the themes of the movie, and also that was disturbing, but disturbing from a natural way without having to delve into horror. What were you hoping to instill in the viewers in that first sequence?
