oh my , i think the philosophical aspect in this scene is a symbolism and not a horror scene. it`s a voodoo sculpture and voodoo is a religious. if you read the bible and than paint some picture of it, you will have many of horror scenes.we should think about the symbolism.this slave i think is a symbol for the normal people with all there problems, this is why the hands are bound. the master is some like a pope or a god or a joker what ever you want.the animals are our instinct. please stop sometimes to have a opinion,we have to learn things we never known before. regards Gerhard
