focuses on creationism and oppression, his second filmdeals with creation, recreation and the impending apocalypse, while his newest film deals with guilt, trauma and rebirth. This is Garland’s most emotional and abstract work , and also his weakest. Not because of the themes or any technical aspects, but because it’s a frustratingly vague piece of work. This extreme level of ambiguity weakens an otherwise haunting thriller about dealing with Post traumatic stress.
The next day, Harper explores the grounds and stumbles upon a trail leading to a long, dark tunnel with light on the other side. She screams into the voided space, and the sound reverberates. After several minutes of this, a silhouetted man suddenly appears at the other end of the tunnel and runs toward her at speed too fast for an average human. She sees this and takes off, running for the house. On the walk back, she notices a naked man watching her.
