The opening credits show a yellow car driving alone through changing landscapes that become snowier and more isolated as it travels farther. Various camera shots are used to follow the car's journey and suggest an ominous or unsuspected event may occur. The scrolling credits and non-diegetic music with low, ominous tones set a mysterious and potentially dangerous tone for what is to come.
