Directing style

Eaves constructs a claustrophobic, interior-heavy world by pairing a predominantly shallow depth of field with eye-level medium shots and closeups. Naturalistic and localized light sources—chiefly window light, direct sun, fluorescents, and practicals—illuminate a cool, desaturated palette of slate blues, muted forest greens, and earthy browns, yielding a tense, lonely, and ominous atmosphere. This naturalistic approach to lighting and camera height grounds his horror and science fiction narratives in a gritty, immediate realism.
