It's a 95-minute film, and there are only a few seconds of actual gore on-screen. But the implication of what's happened -- and what's going to happen -- is so strong, people walk away believing they've experienced the most violent movie in history.
More Quotes from Greg McLean:
Because I was studying these kinds of movies so carefully, I realized how obvious their basic structure is, so I decided to reverse it. When you're playing with very known patterns of narrative events, you just have to twist one little thing, and it suddenly becomes very original. It's kind of like what Alfred Hitchcock did in Psycho . There's a sadistic pleasure to watching an audience realize you've broken the rules and anything goes.Greg McLean
