Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think it is just viewed in the Modernist movement because it was a Contemporary setting (small town America) but with a twist of evil or brutality or barbaric beliefs!.

The sacrifice was showing that even in the real world today people will go to any length for what they want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
