Serial killers are driven by their own unique motives or reasons. What was the killer's motive, if not money, torture, sex, revenge or a traumatic childhood? In an imagined sequel, the killer's backstory could be developed to hint at several possible motives without solving the case. Viewers are free to project their own motives. For example, after the killer had been severely maltreated in horrific ways for several years by his alcoholic, frustrated step-father who went back to prison for killing his mother in a drunken rage and making him a ward of the state, he was a foster child who was abused and humiliated daily by the bully son of his foster father. Sadly, a familiar pattern.
@@jivanvasant that’s really interesting, I’m definitely a lot more interested in cinematography and directing as opposed to writing so stuff like this definitely isn’t my strong suit. On top of this, I didn’t want to over complicate a 5 minute long short film as well as keeping my killer more mysterious. However, I’ll definitely take this into account if I ever plan a sequel as I feel like it would be really interesting, thanks for the feedback 🙏
@@tomroose5660 Your short, short version was fine. As you know, the shorter any film becomes, the more the backstories of the characters have to be minimized or eliminated, which makes short films a more challenging art form that feature films. :-)
