The opening of the movie starts with disturbing screams with a heartbeat overlapping a phone ring and slashing noises. The heartbeat gives off the feeling of being in shock when your life has been put in danger whereas the slashing noises warns the viewers that there will be an immense amount of scenes of a disturbing nature.
The movie begins in an environment with a calm atmosphere, but this is soon interrupted when the phone begins to ring loudly. This may suggest that the person ringing may be of great relevance in the movie. As the phone repeatedly rings the music gradually begins to get louder and louder as the situation worsens for the victim. This gives the audience the impression that the problem will not go away. The music also gives off the impression that the villain will begin to do worst things than taunt her over the phone, as it gradually begins to become harsher then from what it was when she began to become suspicious of the villain.
As the sociopath begins to show his true colours, the music gives thunderous outburst as she is running, then transcends into more eerie sounds when there is no communication being passed between the two characters. This builds up the tension making the audience feel shocked when the music suddenly becomes loader.
