Imagine a horror movie setup: family moves into old, isolated house, horny teens camping etc. The color grading is that standard so-hyper-real thing they do for modern horror movies, the camera is high frame rate horror setup, the camera does the horror movie weird framing on occasion on random people, bushes cars, etc. The music is that orchestral thing with heavy bass and suspenseful winds, the whole technical side of the filming is SCREAMING hooror movie....but it isn't. It's some teen drama or slice of life or whatever movie. Give. Want. Now.
