About the genre

I understand that you didn’t want that we change the genre. In first is it a horror movie but the film contain supernatural elements making the film as a supernatural horror film. You don’t think that? Ronaldo3455 (talk) 05:01, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is only really a supernatural horror by the very end. Even then, throughout most of the runtime its kept ambigious as to whether of not anything happening even is supernatural of just inside of Annie's head. The third act definitely makes it overt but the tone and feel of the film in general is psychological horror. Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 11:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Borrows much from "The Shining" 's photography.

It has to be mentioned this movie has Kubrick all over it in photography and mood music stylings.Toni Collete is the reborn version of Shelley Duvall.A near looka like and act a like as can be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.120.254.61 (talk) 22:23, 26 September 2018 (UTC) ---S[reply]

Suggestion for improvement

I'll leave this here for someone who is better acquainted with the film and interested in the article. I noted in the opening paragraph it reads along the lines "indoor scenes were shot on custom sets built on a soundstage to give the film a dollhouse aesthetic".

This isn't referenced and it looks like somebody's opinion, and I have no problem with that - I don't doubt it's correct. It would be helpful to include a reference - I imagine somebody involved in the production has been quoted on the "dollhouse aesthetic" aspect.

But there are two points: first is that the sentence I've paraphrased implies that filming indoor scenes on custom sets built on soundstages results in a dollhouse aesthetic. It would be preferable (if it's correct) to say along the lines of "The director/production designer sought to create a dollhouse aesthetic, which they achieved using custom soundstage sets (instead of filming indoor scenes on location)".

The second, more important point, is to adjust the order in which information is presented. The lead character Annie's job is making miniatures and dioramas, and this features quite prominently in the film's narrative. I would assume this is why the production designer wanted to give the indoor scenes a "dollhouse aesthetic" - to reflect/mimic Annie's miniature creations.

I'd suggest taking the mention of dollhouse from the opening paragraph and placing it after the mention of Annie's job - and then discussing the link between the two. Flusapochterasumesch (talk) 16:43, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
