What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Anna's severe agoraphobia initially leaves her trapped during the home invasion, while the plot gradually reframes her relationship to danger.
The criminals enter Anna's house and the central conflict unfolds through her inability to escape the property.
Anna's agoraphobia is not merely background characterization; it determines her physical options and shapes the film's tension.
The premise explicitly signals that Anna's agoraphobia is not her only problem, making concealed danger and changing power relations central to the design.
