but isn't that sort of a reason itself? as I mentioned in my post, it would allow the audience to breathe a sigh of relief of, "She's a kid and a kid's knowledge of right and wrong isn't developed, so she doesn't
really know any better."
I'm not attacking your idea, it's a good one, I'm just asking a question. how could you possibly go about making it clear that the girl
doesn't feel pain or remorse, without saying it outright Dr. Loomis style? it could definitely be an interesting concept to explore. to figure out a way to outline, for the audience, the killer's inner workings,
without busting out some kind of doctor who, somehow, knows what's going on in the killer's mind.
even though you weren't talking to me, :D , I wanted my killer to know the difference between right and wrong, but he just plain doesn't care. perhaps make it even into some form of social commentary, a la Romero.
