Annie,
You mention she found a backpack somewhere somehow, though I can’t find any reason why a backpack would have been left inside a robotics production facility.
It’s 7:44 PM where I love right now.
Inferi,
Yes, it’s unimportant for now. I did leave a few clues here and there about them, but so far, the geth are an unimportant, optional feature. They’re there to add extra threat and danger if necessary.
West,
Different scares for different people. Narm? What does that mean, btw? But, as for old-style special effects, the use of animatronics is cooler than CGI, at least for me, feels more real even though you can totally tell it’s totally unreal. I suppose we need to wait for advanced, flexible robotics before we can see truly realistic animatronics.
I agree with this point here. I don’t like how monsters are brainless, and yes, if they are conscious occasionally, that adds a humane effect, makes it feel relatable and real. Even if monsters are completely dehumanized, there is nothing to think about. There are some exceptions, such as the xenomorphs from ALIEN, which are basically smart animals, so they being a bit dumb is understandable.
Indeed, it’s the subtle parts that reminds us of life, feelings, and ourselves, that makes something stand out. It’s something that a lot of horror films miss, because it’s also so hard to do right; if done incorrectly, it can ruin an entire movie. Even a little humour should be present in horror, reminds us of life.
Going back to old films, here’s a scene that stood out to me as a kid, you can stop after “I’m cold.”

Who wouldn’t be cold in this case XD Showing the viewer senses, feelings, and a little humour in an ironic or sarcastic manner, can make a huge difference. It’s not the gore, screaming, violence and disgust that creates heaviness and deepness, it’s the elements that reminds us of humanity and contrasting themes, in my opinion.
