DeBaser reviews portray Bayona as a director who moves between intimate psychological horror and large-scale blockbuster spectacle. The Orphanage is praised for atmosphere and performances; Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is criticised for shallowness and clichés. La società della neve is noted for its faithful, stark depiction of a real air disaster and the moral questions of survival.

For:Fans of psychological horror, survival dramas and mainstream blockbusters; cinephiles interested in moral dilemmas in film.
