Characters
Only one character is shown in this opening and it is hard to tell whether this character is a key character or just a stock character as simply a silhouette of this person is shown and they do not move at all.

A man with a confusing shadow |
In this opening no narrative structures are given away and only an ident, some titles and the image of a man with a shadow is shown. Therefore this doesn't really give the audience a situation but definitely establishes a mood and makes the audience wonder who this character is and why he shadow is a religious cross when he clearly isn't the exact shape of a religious cross. This, in a broad way, is a typical situation of horror films as it is confusing the audience as it is showing them one thing but also something else that contradicts the first thing.
