The opening uses the stereotype of the damsel in distress with blonde hair and blue eyes, who is vulnerable to the killer with the mask. the lighting is predominantly dark to create a dull, scary atmosphere. suspense is built when the killer follows the vulnerable girl into the bathroom leaving the audience on the edge of their seat. The location also builds suspense due to the convention of people believing they are safe in their home, only to be fooled. These conventions are what make this thriller opening successful.
