New Project - Sense of Space (Sound project)

I have decided to make a horror piece for my project in which a man is lost in a wilderness and strange sounds that would not belong in that given area will shock and jolt the protagonist as well as the audience. I have decided to exaggerate sounds such as footsteps, breathing and movement as that is what most horror movies that I consider succesful tend to do in my experience. The distorted sounds that break up the feel of the space will be very loud and sharp, almost uncomfortable or even painful to listen too as I want them to evoke a reaction from the audience. I have compiled a list of sounds I wish too collect and planned a time to go and collect them, also I have a script I will be working too but any dialogue will be minimal and not conversational. I have to be careful not to get lost in Cliche so I will be trying to make sure that there is no predictable conclusion as this is a common error in horror movies (Predictability) and I want the audience to be kept guessing if at all possible.
