- Unusual noises without knowing who or what's making them
- No music, as sounds create suspense so we hear what she hears
- First-person camera angle showing her point of view, something could appear from nowhere in front of her
- Camera angle showing the area around her
- The use of the candle creates suspense because the majority of the attic is dark
- Sudden noises
- Wind blowing
- The woman is a young, isolated and vulnerable victim
- It's in the middle of the night and it's dark
- The title of the film implies something bad is going to happen
- Filmed from above to make her look weak
- Filmed from behind to make it look like she's being followed
- The camera films her behind objects to make it look like someone's following her
- Looking at things through candlelight so she isn't sure of what's around her
