Directing style
Baker’s visual style relies on a claustrophobic, tense atmosphere built primarily through medium shots and closeups captured at eye-level with a shallow depth of field. His frames are dominated by dark, interior night scenes lit by practical fixtures, streetlamps, or window light, casting deep shadows that mingle with a palette of earthy forest greens, muddy browns, and bruised blues, occasionally punctured by stark whites and warm golds. This tight, level-perspective blocking keeps the viewer uncomfortably close to the characters, emphasizing an ominous mood well-suited for suspense and horror.
