The Cat in The Hat has a neighbourhood that was built practically. Everything you are seeing in this image is real and is not CGI. I believe this was to condition children into believing that they should stay in the same place for their entire life and never leave.
>>42284068No, there is something much more going on. Suburbia seems to trigger an uncanny valley in a lot of people. I seen this used a lot, even Cry of Fear used it to great affect. Of a nice calm yet dying world.
Reality is just inherently demonic and hellish. Media is inherently simulacra.
>>42285073I did not know that this was a common trope used for discomfort. Interesting.
>>42285073Suburbs are a liminal area. Not city but not rural. You gotta be able to exist in the in between to excel at suburban life. I don't need to be in the woods to have bunnies in the yard. I can watch them from the comfort of my couch. I don't need to be in a city to walk on concrete and when I flex at the bushes they know. No words needed.
>>42285150It's a part of being "liminal" but there is so much more going on. Perhaps its the idea that the place should look busy but isn't, that there has to be something evil lurking somwhere.

>>42285073A lot of movies take advantage of the sort of eerie suburban liminality and heighten it for aesthetic or dramatic effect, like Edward Scissorhands
>>42285201OP here. You are right. Movies like Donnie Darko feel surreal because the suburban area they live in only has a few people there who are all deranged psychopaths.
