However he makes nice use of expressive close-ups (usually of himself) and shallow focus, with just a few creepy It Follows-like pictures of blurry figures approaching from the space, and a terrifically claustrophobic scene inside an MRI machine. Dalton’s school story, in the meantime, sometimes borders on campus-prank zaniness: It contains what can solely be described as a puke ghost, and there’s one amusing use of the horror film cliche in regards to the haunted little child who makes terrifying drawings of the ghouls solely he can see.
