*The atmosphere is stereotypically following horror conventions and has a dark lighting this is to make them feel like they are in atmosphere where they feel they are under pressure.

*The characters facial expressions are terrified and they are panicky. Their body language looks like they are in a helpless position and look worried.

*They are styled as ordinary people who are captured and tied to the carousel. There is blood in the scene when the mechanisms are prepared to kill them their makeup is made to look rough and bloody.
