You perfectly captured the dread and fear in this kind of frame , it feels claustrophobic and you feel that he's gonna turn every second , those takes enhances the experience even more feeling it may happen any time , both of them made the best out of their worse and their banter was innocent yet dreading , though the dark comedy elements you stated it would have doesn't shine that bright in the writing, needs to feel less forced and more natural

i appreciate the feedback! i agree on your comments about the comedic elements.

Amazing work, man! Saw the Reddit topic, was amazed with the cinematography and set design, didn't expect the comedic storytelling which came by as a really nice surprise - this kind of ambiguities in the perspective of who tells the story are one of the reasons why I love cinema so much! Cheers from Portugal, I will wait here for the next project!
