It's more of a matter on knowing what you're doing and how to do it right with what you got then how big of a budget you have. They did overall well with what they have and really brought the story to life in an impressive way, especially the Sweetheart Bandits scenes, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing "In The Tall Grass" and "Gerald's Game" on Netflix before too long.

The director of 1922 surely knew what they were doing. It's textbook. Gerald's Game was pretty entertaining. There's a subplot involving a tall man that's a real headscratcher.
