To me this felt like a nice blend of The Stanford Experiment, Squid Game and fragments of A Field In England plus a little pinch of Dead Man's shoes.
An edgy psychological horror that used the black and white palatte properly to add shadows alluding to the dark world of the characters.
The set design was great with the cold uninviting hard edged Institute matching the militant titular Vance and his team.
I think the cinematography was very well done, perhaps a little too static at times, but I'm pleased it let the scenes unfold rather than force any dramatic tension.
I read another review that mentioned the static shots of the Institute being a bit too long, and I kind of agree with that, but besides that minor factor, The Vance Institute is a great twisted tale that has a great unnerving vibe.
