Research Into Horror Trailers 10


 
This is a French horror film released in 2006. It is about a couple who get terrorized by children. This film is mostly based around technique because when I watched this I thought that the people terrorizing them were adults and all men. At the beginning of this film they never let on that they were children. 
  • The film begins by startling the audience using loud diagetic telephone ringing as the production logo fades from the first scene
  • A sense of foreboding is built up by using darkly lit interior mise-en-scene, a nuisance phone call, the actors shown to unnerved by strange sounds
  • The trailer also inter cuts with text announced by metallic banging, giving positive reviews by various respected media sources
  • Diagetic sounds of banging, screaming and breaking glass add to the tension
