I think this film is incredibly overrated. It could have been interesting, but it wasn’t most of the time. It’s a shame. I doubt it would be possible to make it less lively and spooky.

The British-American film Phase IV could definitely be described as environmental agitation, but it's so well made that you simply accept it and maybe even think about what it would be like if something similar happened. And then on top of that, Phase IV has some very interesting visuals that are definitely worth paying attention to. In terms of what the camera takes in, there are images that can give you chills all by themselves. It's as if something you don't know but are subconsciously afraid of is coming after you.
