- The camera starts panning on a large panoramic shot
- Island in the middle of lake shows isolation
- Light on the right side and darkness on the left shows good vs bad
- Music starts immediately, eerie and suspenseful. The music is low and has a lot of bass.
- Dutch angle covering landscape
- Aerial view of car travelling through long deserted roads, very rural and isolated, emphasises how far away from civilisation they are
- Plain credits in light blue
- Music becomes creepy and gets higher in pitch
- Light and dark contrast again
- Broken down cars could signify fate and death
- Tunnel heads into darkness signifies a decent into madness
- Same shot shown over and over
- Credits in sans serif font
- Slight change in setting, they are travelling to snow
- Hotel again shows isolation as it is in the middle of no where
