It was important for me to express through the horror genre the feeling of fear and helplessness in the face of the violence that has suddenly arisen in our era: An era where violence invades our lives in an absurd way. The characters of the mother and child, who are accepted by the military school, go through physical and psychological pressure. Ghosts and demons are not the real evil, as it seems to me. In horror films there is always a mystical explanation for monsters. But in our reality, there is no such explanation for this monstrosity – and that is much more terrible.
