The Tunnel (2011)
Analysis
The fact that the opening starts with something based on true events immediately makes the viewer intrigued - Did this really happen, was it serious, what were the consequences?
The fact that it tells the audience that not all of the people involved agreed to being interviewed makes a million different questions run through your mind - What could be so bad that the people involved disagreed to being interviewed?
The sound in this horror film opening is one of my favourites - The way it involves the audience by making the main character on the other end of the phone seem panicked and being able to hear her breathing automatically makes the audience involved in the film. This would definitely be one of the things I would want to include in my own film opening.
The way that the person on the other end of the call stays calm and the way the girl answers the questions panicky with the rustling of the background noise makes the audience curious.
When the girl on the other end of the phone call starts screaming, the person trying to help the girl immediately starts asking questions - They were calm to start with, but now they start asking more and more questions.
