Hey, have you ever noticed how a slight shift in frame rate can turn a slow build into a heart‑pounding panic scene, like a silent flicker that makes the audience’s heartbeat sync with the cut? I’m thinking about the way the 24‑fps baseline can be subverted in those classic horror flicks—just a flick of a setting to 23.98 fps and suddenly the suspense is… well, hyper‑real. What's your take on the low‑framerate trick in the new psychological terror movies?

You’re right, the frame‑rate dip is like pulling a breath from a quiet room. Those 23.98‑fps moments turn a steady drum into a jittery pulse. It’s almost like the film is taking a step back to jump forward, making the audience feel like the clock is ticking against them. New psychological thrillers use it to blur the line between real time and the mind’s own rhythm, keeping you guessing whether the terror is coming from the screen or from the pause itself. It’s a subtle trick, but the effect is louder than a scream.
