The Fear Score take

James Wan builds terror from silence and suggestion, letting your eyes strain into every dim corner before he strikes. The dread accumulates slowly, then arrives in sudden, precisely timed intrusions that puncture any sense of safety. This is a film that weaponizes the space just beyond the frame, where something is always watching.

• —Jump scares engineered with surgical timing
• —Dread that lives in negative space
• —A threat that follows, not stays
