The film’s technical aspects reinforce its claustrophobic and unsettling tone. Cinematographer Zoran Veljkovic confines the action almost entirely to the couple’s home, turning it into a "claustrophobic," "psychological, emotional labyrinth". The camera work is deliberate and often voyeuristic, reflecting the film's themes of intrusion and observation. Fons Merkies’ musical score is a particularly interesting element. Eschewing typical horror cues, the music is often "weirdly calming" with an "essence of what you might hear in a romantic comedy". This juxtaposition creates a deeply disorienting experience, making the acts of violence even more jarring when they occur against a backdrop of unnerving tranquility.
