When you watch it more than once, you'll notice how the real world is represented in the fantasy world, with different architecture and different representations of monsters. Perhaps the most terrifying scene is when Captain Vidal meets the two poachers, casually beating one to death with a bottle before shooting the other and then berating the soldiers for not searching them properly.
