He explained that whenever the story involved characters losing skin, he wanted to make it as realistic and intense as possible, as it was central to the plot’s mystery.

Cronin aims to shock and then immediately move the audience to something new, constantly keeping the experience fresh and unexpected. He wants to create a memorable moment, then quickly shift focus to maintain the audience’s engagement.
