Considering the style and budget limitations on the film, Blank says from the beginning the visual effects were always about getting the most bang for the small bucks. “The trick was how do you provide this amazing experience and show enough of a really big event, but then get away from that event and don’t hang on that event? There is an ode to Jaws and an ode to Aliens where what you see less of is scarier and that’s very, very much played to.
