Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of The Man in the White Van.
It only needs to get under the skin and provoke a real-life fear in the viewer.
So, what can Annie do?

Not much, except survive.
Mild spoilers forThe Man in the White Vanfollow.
Instead, its about what he represents when he steps into his van: Terror.

Not since John CarpentersChristinehas a vehicle induced as much dread in an audience as this white van does.
Whenever it appears on screen, the tension escalates to hair-tearing levels.
However, like any great Alfred Hitchcock story, its also about whatsnoton screen.
Annie finds herself at a precarious time in her life as the middle child of the family.
To paraphrase Britney Spears: Shes not a girl, not yet a woman.
He doesnt strike or do anything at first only showing up wherever she is.
Spooked by his constant and disturbing presence, she tries to tell her family about her fears.
However, they minimize her concerns as nothing or play it down as her trying to get attention.
Theres no place to turn for Annie.
But life doesnt stop and she needs to carry on.
She portrays her with a youthful innocence but also tenacity and courage.
Dont be surprised if you see Wolfe become the next big face of horror after this star-making performance.
The people are relaxed in direct juxtaposition to the horror on their doorstep.
