The film begins with a series of close up shots of items within the room as well as of a man's; some sort of doctor, face. This, along with the diagetic sound of a ticking clock, adds suspense to the video. The shot then changes to reveal a man on a therapist chair, terrified as he tells this therapist about 'Him'. This also carries this mystery. When it is revealed that the man is scared of his own shadow, the suspense is broken by humour, however the audience is still confused as to whether or not the man is clearly sick and scared of his own shadow or not. The next scene is of the man walking towards his car, to find his car being driven away. This again illustrates a thrilling vibe, but again is broken when it is revealed that the man's shadow, a man dressed in a black morph suit and a top hat, is driving away in his car. The audience now clearly know that the genre of the film is a black comedy.
