One of the standout aspects of "Tumbbad" is its use of atmospheric tension to create a sense of unease and dread. The filmmakers employ a range of techniques, including eerie sound design, dim lighting, and an unsettling score, to create an atmosphere that is both foreboding and terrifying. The use of practical effects to bring the supernatural entities to life adds to the sense of realism, making the horror even more visceral and intense.
