Closest I’ve seen to this being done was the movie Black Hawk Down. Meanwhile can you imagine everyone screaming at each other in the John Wick films? Other movies like Aliens would have been a whole different level of horrifying as the sound fades away until its just the sound of the actor’s muffled heart beat and their cluelessness that the xenomorph is crawling up behind them.
Guns Akimbo touches on this near the start.
Was talking to my partner about that movie and how much of a pleasant surprise it was. The tilt to sarcastic realism was perfect.
I need to rewatch that one, it was a banger (pun not intended)
The soundtrack was one banger after the next.
