Positives Negatives

Good soundtrack – works well with mobile graphics

It was not clear who/what the killer is

The telephone effect = good Choose more variation in time

Good use of editing to show the film in a horrific way

Silence before the scream creates tension – good use of diagetic and non-diagetic sound
