Title interpretation
Talking about the title of the film, the director said, "The word ‘psycho’ is often loosely used, it's a slang to demean someone. We can rarely separate between the psychopath, the sociopath, the troubled and the abused-aggressor. Deranged villains who prey on the weak and innocent, forcing them into unthinkable acts and stealing from them that which they hold most dear are probably the real psychos. And also those who protect them are equally guilty. For the guardians of the devil are demons too. Hoping to deal with such a relevant social discourse through a film is exciting indeed."
