Directing style
Justin Benson’s science fiction and horror cinematography favors a tense, lonely atmosphere built on shallow depth of field and a high concentration of exterior night scenes. He grounds his compositions with eye-level medium and wide shots, occasionally shifting to top-down angles to emphasize an ominous sense of scale. The visual palette is defined by a cool, desaturated color grade alongside earthy, warm tones, illuminated by natural and localized sources like the sun, windows, practicals, and streetlamps.
