The camera design, sound design, and the heroine's performance (almost a one-man show) work together to create this thrilling and terrifying film.
The heroine in many shots is not the scene in the eyes of the audience, but is more like being in the eyes of a monitor (invisible person), or even a monitor screen. With the heroine's expression and reaction, it makes people unconsciously in an atmosphere of unease and panic, and many times they can feel the kind of "being watched" and can't help but want to look for it.
The Invisible Man is really the most suitable subject for shaping the character of the invisible voice. When he doesn't show his face, he has incredible power.

It has the texture of a reflective prism, and it is densely packed with multiple prism textures like compound eyes, which not only makes the hair stand up, but also conforms to the The setting of the invisible principle of "multiple shots", and this dense texture, is especially like crawling of multipods (spiders, centipedes, scorpions). When the invisible effect is unstable, the designed reflective prism is mixed with the sound of short circuit, rendering the feeling of horror and terror to the extreme. This is also the moment when the power of the invisible sound character reaches its peak.
And some ordinary voices are exaggerated like thunder in the situation. The most impressive is the part where the heroine climbed up to the attic to make a phone call. Although the ringing of the mobile phone was already expected, I don't know when and where it will be. It sounded and vibrated violently in front of the camera. The ordinary vibration, the energy that erupted at this moment was equivalent to an earthquake.
There are also those crisp and neat voices, such as throat cutting, which happened unexpectedly and unexpectedly, before even regaining consciousness. They were short and sharp, and they cut through the skin in a split second, stinging nerve-like pain...
