The title at the start of the movie is very different to most opening titles of scary films. The colour of the writing starts of white and changes to red which is connotations of death or love? They use non-digetic sound of people screaming and loud bangs to get the audience scared already even though nothings happening. so then when the film starts we already know that the genre is horror or thriller because it is made clear to us. When the film starts there is digetic sound of the phone ringing but this starts when the titles are coming up and carries on into the film to make the sound more effective.
So the main character is introduced by answering the phone, so we see her hand before we see her face. We don't know if the main character is a girl or boy at this stage because it's not that easy to tell from a hand. So this would put questions into the audience head even though it only lasts for a couple of seconds.

This movie was made in 1996 we can tell this because of her costume and the props that are in the house. Also because of her hair and make up can tell this is not a new movie and has been out a while.
