Comet unfolds within a fictional mythos: an alien species lures humanity to destruction by disguising itself as a comet—an allegory echoing a modern-day Pied Piper. Drawn by desire, people willingly march toward their own end.

The film’s visual rhythm is slow and desaturated, immersing the stone city, the comet’s blazing tail, and the hive-like expedition team in a texture that feels both ruinous and mythic.

To capture the epic weight and oppressive scale of the alien and stone-built environments, the team shot on location in Chiayi, Taiwan, crafting a vision of silent sci-fi futurism. The spaceship design draws inspiration from the Kosmaj Monument in the former Yugoslavia—an iconic structure that fuses brutalist architecture with expressionist sculpture. This relic of collective memory is reimagined as the vessel of invasion, turning echoes of history into a new form of threat.

Visual effects were approached with a near-minimalist discipline—precise, restrained, and deliberately understated. Nothing is excessive, yet every detail supports the parable’s weight. The result is a haunting sci-fi myth woven from quiet decay and collective delusion.
