I Just Don't Get It

What does this description mean? It's so abstract.

We are looking for a completed horror script with a thriller element, centering on the evil that surrounds us every day: stalking, slavery, greed, carnality, torture, abuse, addictions (the script must be about optional evils, evils of choice, necessary evils which give flavor to cosmopolitan life). We are looking for a brand of art-house horror and thriller films that focus on avant-garde issues - alienation, loss of control, confinement, notoriety, consensual terror, that reach into our lives. It needs to be music-driven, youth-oriented and viewer provoking.

Examples would be: 'The Shining', '28 Days Later', 'Jacob's Ladder', 'The Ring', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'The Thing', 'Cronos', 'Blue Velvet', 'Silence of the Lambs' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.


This particularly puzzles me:

the script must be about optional evils, evils of choice, necessary evils which give flavor to cosmopolitan life


You have to be evil to have a tasty life?
