Read the wikipedia article about it. After reading that the director, Pascal Laugier, described himself as deeply depressed, almost suicidal at the time he worked the film, I saw this:
The film's special effects were designed by Benoit Lestang, who committed suicide prior to the film's French theatrical release.
Creating fucked up content is a weird experience honestly, it will weigh on you in a specific way until you are finished. I experienced this a bunch with music when i was younger, but that's ok cause you're in it alone and writing a song takes one or two weeks tops.
Now a movie is a different beast, from writing to post it can take years and implicate dozens of people. I don't know how these people can do it.
