Review Of 'The Closet'

The opening sequence of 'The Closet' begins with sounds such as: rattling of thunder and rain, which already creates a sense that something sinister is about to occur. As Kaya enters the house, the angle of the camera is already in, so they captured a variety of shots. The use of music creates tension throughout.

As Kaya is being somewhat possessed, the camera zooms into her, as I also notice that the effect used become darker and then suddenly changes back.. The voices built a large amount of fear in me and left me wanting to find out what will happen next.










The audience are included as they are able to see the evil sight in the mirror , which Kaya is not. I personally think this technique is effective because us the audience are able to reflect and engage with the film which I don't feel happens the opening sequence ' Runaway.'


At the end, Kaya and the audience become one in the closet, they are able to see the same beastly appearance, however the audience are left imaging what happens next, so this technique is very effective.







I think they could have however improved on the aspect of the room and the atmosphere being "haunted"  by perhaps making the room darker and allowing more paranormal activities to occur.
