His meticulous planning (stocking the elevator with food, water, and even an air mattress) showcases a level of obsession that is far more frightening than a typical slasher villain. Unlike a mindless monster, Guy believes he is the hero of his own story. He views his actions as romantic gestures rather than crimes.
