The video analyzes a scene from a horror film that takes place in a large, dark and gloomy house in the country where two girls are home alone. Various film techniques are used to build a sense of fear and tension, including panning shots that zoom in on the girls' fearful faces, the use of red objects and lighting, deep breathing from the characters, ominous music and sound effects from the rain and television. The lack of opening credits also adds to the mysterious atmosphere.
