Closest I’ve seen to this being done was the movie Black Hawk Down. Meanwhile can you imagine everyone screaming at each other in the John Wick films? Other movies like Aliens would have been a whole different level of horrifying as the sound fades away until its just the sound of the actor’s muffled heart beat and their cluelessness that the xenomorph is crawling up behind them.


Just made me think of it. In the movie Atomic Blonde, I appreciated how Charlize Theron’s bruises and cuts accumulated as the movie progressed versus the normal brutal beatdown followed by the immediately following glamour guy/gal scene. Otherwise the movie is over the top but not enough to be detracting.
