This film presents a distinctive approach to psychological horror, departing from conventional narrative and aesthetic strategies commonly associated with the genre. The story revolves around an alien entity that originates from the moon’s reflection on the sea, gradually disrupting the peaceful existence of a solitary seaside home. The film sets out to achieve several key goals:
1) to build a sense of anxiety without relying on actors’ facial expressions or performances;
2) to suggest the presence of a creature that is never directly seen or physically felt, yet is deeply sensed by the audience;
3) to generate sustained tension through a continuously rising musical score that intensifies until the film’s conclusion; and
4) to challenge traditional horror film conventions by offering a new, more abstract way of depicting fear.
By avoiding formulaic horror tropes and instead focusing on atmosphere, suggestion, and sound design, the film aims to expand the formal and thematic possibilities of the genre. It is particularly intended for audiences who appreciate innovative storytelling within horror and are drawn to films that challenge established cinematic norms.
