The Fear Score take

This is dread built from patience. Carpenter lets the camera linger a beat too long, turns quiet suburban streets into open ground, and makes daylight feel unsafe. The fear here is watchful and slow, a shape at the edge of frame you sense before you see. When the tension breaks, your nerves are already spent.

• —Silence weaponized into unbearable suspense
• —An expressionless killer without motive
• —Ordinary daylight streets turned menacing
