The film’s visual language is its most striking achievement. Burton has always been a director fascinated by the marginalia of society, but here, his obsession aligns perfectly with the source material’s conceit: the found photograph. The 1080p presentation allows for a forensic appreciation of the film’s texture.

The film's influence can be seen in the resurgence of interest in peculiar and unusual storytelling, with many creators drawing inspiration from Ransom Riggs' novel and the film adaptation.
