Building Suspense with Silence and Space

In crafting The Eye, I found that silence and space play crucial roles in horror. By giving moments of stillness, I could let the audience’s imagination fill in the gaps, building suspense naturally. These moments of silence, paired with Dr. Apples’ growing horror, add layers of dread without needing a single line of dialogue. Sometimes, what isn’t said is just as powerful as what is, especially in the world of horror.
