Looks like investigative photos cast a very creepy “using a high powered flashlight to investigate a crime scene” vibe. Horror games with flashlights kinda got the vibe right, it seems.
Yeah, I think it’s all in the lighting. For a crime scene, you probably just want to get really bright light on everything the camera sees. That ends up making the shadows seem very harsh, and every other light source weak. There’s probably some primal fear that if your eyes are adjusted to the light, you’re vulnerable to creatures who are hiding in the shadows with their eyes adjusted to the dark.
I don’t think she is referring to what the pictures are of, but rather that the ambiance of the pictures invoke horror. Like the harsh lighting and camera angles make it seem like it could be from a horror game or movie. While they are just pictures of a house, they still feel strange.
I’m looking through those and holy shit these images look like they’re taken straight out of a horror game

The Gorilla Head in the Toilet is pretty fucken weird/creepy too
Who the fuck was the interior decorator? A murder clown?
What? Those are some pretty benign photos. Even the painting is hard to judge without knowing anything about who the other person is.

Sort of liminal space vibes
Basically yeah
