Xavier Fitch: We decided to make it female so it would be more docile and controllable.
Preston Lennox: More docile and controllable, eh? You guys don't get out much.
Trivia: Sil's alien sound effects were primarily provided by Frank Welker. Welker is a well-respected voice-actor with over 800 credits to his name beginning in the late 1960's. He also specializes in animal and creature sound effects.
Question: How is it Sil managed to cut off the woman's thumb since garden shears are not strong enough to cut bones?
Answer: You could probably make a compelling argument that, as an alien-hybrid, Sil is stronger than a normal person and thus was just able to forcibly cut through the finger with the pruners by "crushing" it. Also, this is where good old suspension of disbelief comes in. The pruners might realistically have broken at some point, but it's a movie, so we can "forgive" this bit of unrealism because it creates a compelling scene.
