Top Comments of this video!! :3
I just saw this movie on Shudder a few weeks ago. I can't believe no one is talking about it much more. The cinematography & editing really pulled me into the movie. I felt the tension and suspense. I love the scene you address here. I'm just an avid movie watcher. I'm enjoying learning more about the components of movie making. Thanks for the video.

The lack of clarity about how far back he is makes perfect sense, because we're seeing her perspective, and she never turns around. We never get a shot from where she is, looking back, because she never looks back. She's just running, she doesn't know how far back he is and doesn't have time to find out. We can both guess that he's far because he keeps missing, but since she doesn't know, we don't know either.

I don't think it is a feminist revenge story. It is a spiritual journey story. She hang from the tree like Odin who hung from the tree of life to gain spiritual powers. The she sets herself on fire like Egyptian Phoenix, who sets itself on fire to be reborn again. She takes peyote drug, which reveals her spiritual animal is falcon. But falcon is symbol of Horus, who fights evil god of desert Seth. So she realised who she is and must fight him and his servant as in old Egyptian story. I find her journey fascinating.

Also, the blood-trail itself is a visual and story motif throughout the film, underscoring the hunter elements. Early on, the guys use the trail of Jen's blood to stalk her; after she cauterizes her wounds, she begins using blood trails to stalk Stan and Richard. The whole film uses traveling-camera movement to emphasize the theme of hunting prey, from its establishing shots where they first enter the house to the final hunter-and-hunter bloody climax.
Oh, yeah - there's also the element where Jen's sexual rape is offscreen but her penetration by the tree is in brutal close-up. Later, Jen penetrates / rapes each of the men responsible for it: Dimi with his own knife, Stan with the shotgun, and Richard with her own hand. That inversion of power dynamics is just one of the many things I love about this film.

Fwiw, at 6:05 in your review here the "siren" sounds is what usually happens after one fires a gun if not wearing ear/noise protection. The faint heartbeat finer defines that.
Personal experience, and life with tinitus that "sounds" very similar to the noise here.
