The twist:

The "Village" is actually a modern day commune started by a group of people disaffected with modern society.

In order to keep their children from leaving the commune, and hold onto their power, the Village leaders manufactured "monsters" in the woods. Some have speculated that this is a metaphor for Bush and the war on terror.

I take it this way: There is a group of people in this world that does not want any progress, wants to live in a middle ages type society, and sees those in the modern age as terrible and evil (great satan, infidels).

There is one group I know of like that now.

I thought of it as this whole group of people trying to escape violence by recreating a perfect society of their own, when in fact, a violent crime does in fact take place within their perfect society. (the stabbing) Therefore, since we are human, you cannot escape it.

Now, was the crazy son the one carving up all the animals, which led to a progression to the guy?
