All The places shown in the film are dirty, even on the outside the streets are surrounded by old warehouses. One of the houses used in the film have a lot of shades of red, a colour which connotes danger and blood. The props they used in the film were masks, torture objects and a child tricycle. The costumes used in the film convey the audience which character are the victim and which character are the Antagonist. The Antagonist wears a long black coat and a red and white mask on the other hand the victims wear blue and white which gives the feeling of sympathy.
