Explanation, exposition and character development are at or near zero, but an atmosphere of dread is built effectively and West's technique is strong.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[A] startling sophomore feature by 26-year-old writer-director (and Larry Fessenden protege) Ti West.
Devised for minimum fuss and maximum tension, Trigger Man is the little thriller that could.
Pic [has a] marvelous sense of time and space, seemingly empty of purpose yet steadily building tension.
