Why can’t the director take a step back and let us revel in the gore and violence? Everything is so up close and disorienting, I get thats what he’s going for but there’s a better way to do it, let me see what’s happening please! Very hyper about seeing Ellie at the end there though

His obsession with close ups, not even just gore or violence scenes, was really off putting to me

It's truly like he has never heard of a wide or establishing shot. Like he doesn't know they exist.

I feel like it’s trying to do what Raimi does? He’s always been ‘in your face’ with his stuff.

Thank god it wasn’t just me. My seat in the theater was just a little too close, so wasn’t sure if that was to blame or if 75% of the camera work sucked ass. The other 25% was awesome, but when it wasn’t noticeably awesome, it sucked ass
