Horror is a very specific genre. It relies not so much on dialogue, as on building the atmosphere of dread with clever editing and planting/pay-off technique. Of course this has to be established in the script first. (Remember the corridor scene from The Shining?)
Watch the TV film below and see if you can find out how the viewer is being manipulated.
Pay attention to movement and camera angles , cuts between scenes, editing, and planting certain ideas quite early on.
