Xavier Fitch: A train came through here about the time she escaped.
Agent: Is she that fast?
Xavier Fitch: She is that fast.
Trivia: The Alien Design for Sil was done by H.R Giger, the same man who designed the Xenomorph in the Alien movies.
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.
