http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/grimm_love Remember Godzilla? There was the original Japanese version, with no white people in it, and then there was the version released for American audiences with Raymond "Perry Mason" Burr. Burr played a television reporter sending dispatches back to the states about this big monster stomping on the Japanese. Grimm Love, which gets its second SIFF screening today at 4 PM, is kind of like Godzilla--only you've got your German cannibal in place of your giant lizard and your Kerri "Felicity" Russell in place of your Raymond "Ironsides" Burr.

That's a simplistic interpretation. The movie didn't assign blame, but did offer motivations stemming from childhood.
