Did you ever run away from a scream?


**Slight spoilers below**

You can’t. It will follow you.

Great line that established an eerie and haunting atmosphere early in the film. Also it points to Pete being haunted by something terrible. Everyone agrees with him that they hear screaming near the red house but in reality the screaming is part of his memories and not real.

A bird sings and the mountain's silence deepens.
