What critics compared Society of the Snow to
At times, it gives off the vibe of a horror film (which is apt, since Bayona first became known for the 2007 supernatural chiller The Orphanage), especially as the cinematography, editing, make-up effects and Michael Giacchino’s foreboding score all homing in on the horrifying sense of death that lingers even in the quietest of moments, putting you right in the middle of it all with an impeccable ease.
Society of the Snow, the new film by J.A. Bayona, returns the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and The Orphanage director to the world of dramatized tragedy.
J. A. Bayona has a knack for creating suspenseful and thrilling set pieces, as seen in his acclaimed horror picture The Orphanage and the uneven Jurassic World: Dominion. He knows how to capture the panic that oozes from the characters’ pores and nature’s unforgiving fury. The tsunami sequence in The Impossible was truly astonishing due to the use of practical and visual effects.
