The camera work and post are primitive and fail to provide the atmosphere this movie needed to be taken seriously.
shareCouldn't disagree more!
This movie is a great example of creating thick, dripping atmosphere through score and sound design especially. I love how it's visually played a bit straight, (though not flat out plain, as Cake suggested there is a lot of great dewy kind of homage to Universal monster klassiks and such,) while all kinds of aetherial decisions are happening on the auditory end. I find it's very suggestive of the supernatural state of mind amidst the backdrop of ordinary life, and connects well to the concept that a piece of fantastical folklore may have some truth to it. A far flung phantasmagory penetrates the very grounded.
