Is it really just a disaster movie?

I deeply suspect that this movie was originally set as a suspense film, but because there is no scientific explanation, it turned into a catastrophic horror film. The subtle mother-child relationship between the male protagonist and his mother, the appearance of the female protagonist and the male protagonist’s mother is surprisingly similar, the female protagonist’s single-parent family background, the male protagonist abducted two women from San Francisco to this remote area, the female partner’s words have something to say, The bizarre and unsolved murders of this small town, coupled with the private belief that the root cause of the canary in the flock of birds disaster, lacks a clue to connect. In short, I think it is not a qualified suspense film.
