Yes
No
One person said that the soundtrack “Creates suspense and tension”.
Another person said “It is quite jumpy and provokes a reaction”.
Do you think the narrative is clear and understandable in the film trailer?
Yes
No
A comment we had from this question was “Yes. Narrative at the start is
brilliant – conventional horror narrative”.
What do you think of the main
character (the mother)? “Resonates with a ‘typical’ mother type. Very creepy
change in events.”
“Her transition from caring mother to being possessed
makes you want to see more.”
“She challenges the stereotypical nurturing mother.”
