Directing style
Tyler Gillett constructs high-tension genre spaces by confining the action to dimly lit interiors at night, relying heavily on practical fixtures and the occasional glow of screens to pierce the darkness. He favors eye-level medium shots and closeups rendered with an extremely shallow depth of field, keeping the focus tightly locked on the characters' immediate distress while the background falls into soft obscurity. The color palette reinforces this ominous atmosphere, dominated by cool, desaturated tones and murky, earth-toned shadows, punctuated by rare, warm accents.
