As an audience, the movie made me feel an inescapable unease for most of the scenes. The pop of red within dark, earthly tone increased the discomfort. For example, the characters would often have a red outlining in their eyes in scenes where they are being haunted by a spirit. Red flags in the war and in the water as blood also appear. The use of color in addition to the theatrical lighting creates a ominous mood. In comparison to western horror films where sudden scares are prevalent, this film scared the audience by intensifying unease.
