The relentless pursuit of an ideal—whether material, aesthetic, or personal—leads to self-destruction and moral compromise.

A critique of society’s obsession with wealth and luxury, highlighting the emptiness and corruption that lie beneath the surface of consumerist dreams.

How ambition, mistrust, and selfishness erode relationships, revealing the darker sides of human nature when survival and success are at stake.

The interplay between supernatural forces and human agency, showing how greed and desire make people active participants in their own downfall.

Sharp, biting humour underpins the story, mocking societal obsessions with luxury, status, and perfection, even as the events spiral into chaos and horror.

The film balances its darker moments with surreal, visually striking scenes—such as the house’s eerie regenerations—blurring the line between reality and the grotesque.

The tone shifts from absurd and ironic to deeply unsettling and melancholic, culminating in a bittersweet, haunting finale that leaves the audience questioning the cost of liberation and survival.

Intensity builds dread and paranoia, using the house as an oppressive sentient force to amplify the characters' unravelling psyches

The house itself should be a striking, almost alien presence—cold, monolithic concrete structures with sharp angles and vast, empty spaces. Its stark, imposing design mirrors the emotional isolation and moral decay of the characters.

As the house regenerates, its style should evolve into increasingly lavish, surreal interpretations of luxury—ornate baroque flourishes, excessive gold detailing, or hyper-modern minimalism. The evolving aesthetics serve as a grotesque reflection of the characters’ escalating greed and moral compromises.

The surrounding dense forest contrasts sharply with the sterile, controlled environment of the house. Shots of the forest should feel alive and chaotic, emphasizing the house’s artificiality and the characters’ detachment from reality.

A muted base palette of greys, concrete tones, and dark greens for the natural setting, with sudden bursts of unsettling colour (blood reds, golds, and icy whites) as the house regenerates and the murders escalate.

The housemates’ fashion evolves with the house—trendy, high-end attire becomes exaggerated and grotesque over time, reflecting their internal transformations. From 1960s Jet-Set, altering into something much more baroque grandeur and coquette-meets-renaissance-faire.
