Fango got to talkin' with screenwriters Adam and Seth Gross, where they
revealed more info on the flick. Here's what Seth said...
"Basically, it’s about a computer game
that young people are playing, college-age people and the more they
play it, the darker and more twisted it becomes, until there’s
no turning back and it gets out of control. One of the movie’s
main themes is how technology makes it easier for evil to enter our
lives. We were thinking about pornography and on-line gambling and day
trading—technology makes it easier for us to satisfy our baser
desires. They’re just a computer or cell-phone call away. That’s
the basis we built the story from. My girlfriend actually recently had
her identity stolen that way, which was a terrible thing to go through."
Adam went on to say...
"This is about the ultimate identity theft.
This is a very intense, scary movie. It’s not the self-referential,
jokey approach of SCREAM or BUFFY; it’s bleaker and more realistic.
There have been more of these kinds of movies coming out recently, and
it’s a type of horror that represents a fundamental change in society,
especially after 9/11. DEVOUR is closer to films like LAST HOUSE
ON THE LEFT or THE EXORCIST, in that it’s unflinching.
I think that was because back then, you had Vietnam, Manson, Watergate,
Son of Sam—there was a real anxiety in the country. And I believe
that’s why a lot of great scary movies came out of that period,
because it reflected that anxiety. The same kind of unease exists post-9/11
and with the economy, and that’s what this sort of horror film
reflects. It’s a different ball game from the period when SCREAM
came out. And it takes a little time for that to work into the culture."
