Love this analysis. It reminds me of Maggie Mae's breakdown of My Octopus Teacher as eco-horror film -- it ends up exploring the same themes around language and communication that you brought up here. [0]

The even deeper horror is that they explored many alternate narratives, and this is the one that they collectively though would, and in reality did, resonate most strongly with viewers.

The horror isn't the film makers, it is that this is the narrative that global society prefers to hear.

For even deeper horror still I suggest reading Francis Bacon, since from square zero modern science is founded on the rape of nature.
