genre: crime film/ thriller


Narrative

The story line is evident as a family move into a home and see a blind man. They think he is totally harmless but their thoughts were wrong as they encounter the same man in their house but acting in a violent manner. The reason to why the man is behaving like this isn't confirmed which may make specific audiences curious to find out why.

Character

The main character seems to be an adult woman who seems to not be hurt by the blind man until the very end which is found in most thriller horror movies. She is shown as that typical person to stand and watch as the man comes towards her which most thriller movies do to make the scene more dramatic looking.

Iconography

The trailer has blatant connotations of a thriller movie: gun shots, violence, some blood, a safe looking place etc. The characters emotion of being scared and anxious at what they witness may be a key link to specific thriller movies.

Setting

The movie is set in a house which may seem to be a safe area for most people as it keeps them away from danger. however in this case it seems to create more danger than there actually is. There are not many places to hide as it clearly shown as the blind man corners the character to attack. It is also set in the middle of the night maybe as they struggle to see where they are going at the end of the trailer coincidentally just like the blind man himself.
