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.
This kind of happened early on in Preacher. One of the characters deliberately put his head in the boot of his car and fired a rifle off to the side so he’d be deaf, and unable to hear Custer’s ‘Word of God’.
