You are both right in some senses (I leave many things unexplained in my own stories), but if the writer gets the reader to think a lot, it is a good thing! As a writer, you want people to use their imagination and delve into the story with imaginative reasons for why and how things happen. So, if Gore wants me to think of my own reasons why Vincent killed, then I will be content; I will be satisfied with the devilish, pleasurable grin of the pre-killing character and the variable turmoil that drives him in his lust.
