Don’t Answer the Doorbell

Wide shot from inside a suburban living room at dusk, camera static on a tripod. The front door is visible, warm porch light outside. Doorbell rings—three sharp chimes. A woman’s shadow appears under the door, but no silhouette in the frosted glass. She calls out 'Who is it?'—no answer. The doorknob slowly turns, then stops. The shadow grows taller, stretching impossibly up the door. The wood starts to splinter from the inside, a crack spiderwebbing. Camera zooms in on the crack, and a pale eye peers through. Cut to black. Style: cinematic, desaturated, shallow depth of field, tense build.
