She soon finds herself in a race against time to save Bobby, before his mother can drag him into hell and use him as a vessel for her own escape. Desecration easily draws comparison to such Euro-Horror fare as Dario Argento's classic, Suspiria . Indeed, the film utilizes several of the standard techniques of Euro-Horror . The script, for example, takes a backseat to the film's surreal visuals and haunting soundtrack, instead, relying more on mood and feel than the actual story to elicit a reaction. It is ironic to note then, that Tomaselli is based out of New Jersey, where Desecration was filmed.
Desecration is a barrage of eerily composed images that rely heavily on colors to influence mood.
The images thrown at the viewer immerses them in its dream-like world and leaves it up to them to interpret what they are seeing. The film transcends its limited budget and instead delivers a rich production, which is both visually stunning, as well as haunting. Tomaselli's brother, Michael, composed the original score for the film, which serves to compliment the visual aspects of the film. On its own, however, it is brilliantly composed and retains the haunting atmosphere that makes it so effective when coupled with the film's images. Together, they serve to grab the audience's attention and provide an underlying tension that makes Desecration so effective.
