EXIT - Part 2

Director's note -2

I was experimenting on shifting POVs or creating a gray area between the protagonist and antagonist. Who is the protagonist? Who is the antagonist? Is Sam a bad person? Is Ben the good guy? Is Jeanne, the FBI rookie as innocent as she looks? Those questions form the basis of the narrative structure to EXIT.

Serial killers are fascinating subjects to be explored. Of course, today we are overloaded with films and TV series dealing with serial killings but when I started exploring the idea of making EXIT, fascination of serial killers in films was in the doldrums until “The Silence of the Lambs” was released. During the writing of EXIT, I delved myself into the world of serial killers with research of the subject matter. Terrifying questions start popping in my head during the research. Are we, human beings capable of doing such things to another human being without remorse and motive? Serial killers look like any other ordinary next-door neighbour of ours. Am I prone to be one? Another interesting part of my research is that there are very few female serial killers compared to men. I decided to take the other route as in introducing a female serial killer.
