Shooting any film with the appearance of one continuous shot is a very tough needle to thread, but I think it's especially tricky in the horror world. When it works, the immediacy of it, the sense that you're so close to the terror you can almost touch it, can drop your jaw. When it doesn't, the constantly moving camera saps the tension right out of the air, deflating whatever narrative driver the film might have had.
