This companion book is written for viewers who didn't just watch the movie, but felt it-and want to understand why it works the way it does.

By the end, readers come away with a deeper appreciation of the film's craft, a clearer understanding of its ideas, and a renewed respect for how horror can be intimate as well as frightening.
