    I loved that movie right up until it switched to daylight for the rest of the movie. Ruined the tension for me.

      I disagree but you’re not the only one. Personally, I found how they shot day-for-night fascinating both technically and in the result.

      It does look like full-moon lighting a clear night and I’ve always found that erie in itself. Add how the night sky becomes its own character and it’s fantastic.

        The night scenes were so good because they invented a new method for filming night scenes. If I recall, it’s filmed at the same time with 2 exposures, the lighter for the subjects and darker for the sky, overlayed.

          Crazier than 2 exposures: they filmed with a normal cinema camera and an infrared one in parallel.

      Yeah, more of an adventure movie at that point, but I loved how weird that thing kept getting. It kept the eerie feeling of not understand what it was or what it would do even though you could see it. For me at least.
