    If I enter a room and someone is facing the corner, I will die. Just writing that has me feeling terror.

      That setup was done so cleverly. They only dropped this in a tale in the beginning (that a child had to stand in the corner while the other child was being gutted alive) and then don’t mention it a single time for the next 60 minutes and then BOOM, your brain still connects these dots immediately and it hits far more than if they actually showed one of the people being gutted. Just that abstract fear of what looks like will likely happen … damn.
