Directing style

Yeon Sang-ho constructs tense, chaotic action and horror sequences primarily through eye-level medium and wide shots that maintain a grounded, immediate perspective. His interiors and exteriors favor a shallow depth of field, utilizing cool, desaturated color grades dominated by slate grays, muted teals, and earthy ochres. This gritty, ominous atmosphere is shaped by harsh fluorescent fixtures, natural sunlight, and window sources that pierce dark, day-and-night settings.
