I wondered the same. From the trailers the horror comes from the banality and comfort of family life, whilst over the fence is industrial butchery and degradation. The juxtaposition can be done on film (the horror not shown I assume - it is Cert 12A) but cannot imagine how it was achieved in the book. May have to read it.
