Film opening analysis of history of violence

During the first five minutes of this film three murders were shown, however the men that seem to have carried out these killings seemed calm and peaceful. This made the opening of this thriller effective as the characters seem emotionless as if they could kill many people and not feel any remorse. This could make it rather thrilling as you never know when they are going to kill someone next due to the fact that they seem to not be effected by the consequences of their actions.

There isn't much sound in the beginning of this film, this makes the film unique as there is no soundtrack which would normally be used to create suspense, instead the start of this film creates an eerie atmosphere instead. The lack of sound is effective as the first main bit of sound you hear is a small girl scream, making the audience jump. Moreover, the beginning of this film creates a tense atmosphere very well by using enigmas and suspense.
