To own another human being is an abhorrence.

It is a statement of fact, a truth that is universal, and yet often ignored by those by whose own admission they see it is a right, an admission declared for all to see without a shred of shame in their hearts, that to enslave a person, another human being, is to attain a status…it is sick, depraved, and yet still goes on in the world. Across all cultures, men, women, children, all creeds, all colours, slavery is business.

Living is a matter of taste. The varied list of options upon the great smorgasbord of life is one that we either dip in and out of, or depending on the pound on our pocket, might entice us to try a different flavour just for the experience; all this is natural, we eat our way through existence to discovery joy and hold memories firm.

What serves as an inspiration on screen can be found to have come from a source of truth, and whilst that can be seen readily in an action film, a love story, even a political drama, to witness such a film based within the horror genre is perhaps a deeper mystery to fathom; and yet if you move away from the sight of ghouls, ghosts, unmentionable beings, then you can see where the true monsters lay…the image of ourselves staring at us from on high on the silver screen.
