Both the new movie The Iron Claw and the new TV series The Curse share a distinct cinematographic trait:

They place their cameras far afield from the actors, reveling in gradual zoom-ins. In conversation with each other, The Iron Claw and The Curse test how this positioning changes the audience’s relationship to what’s on screen.

As for thematic similarities between the two that intersect with their geographically-removed cameras:

Both are about people who live their lives at least partially in front of a lens, and the cinematography makes the audience aware of the presence of the camera with respect to the action.

And, both The Iron Claw and The Curse are about a curse potentially plaguing the characters; perhaps the lingering camera doubles as the looming gaze of whoever/whatever is haunting them?
