Although this clip has little dialogue the uneasy atmosphere and tension is created by the chilling music that is played over the top. It has a variety of pitches and tempo and where it increases in speed or volume we understand that this is an important and 'scary' area to the film. In addition to this, throughout there are some props used and the sound of these props are emphasised by the music quieting and the action of the prop broughout up in volume. A good example of this is when the boy is stabbing the tree with the knife:
The sound alone is enough to give someone the chills. Sound effects such as the blood being sucked and the body falling etc...puts people off immeadtely, However this is what Thriller's are supposed to do. Scare people.
Also the majority of the images that are shown have only children in and when these characters are mixed in with a variety of violent scenes including blood and dead bodies the audience immeadiately feel uneasy.
The lack of dialogue used in the trailer isn't a bad thing. I think that this helps to emphaise the importance of the words that are used and doesn't over shine the affect that the music has to the viewers.
Overall I think that this is a very successful trailer and I'd also recommend the film to those who havent seen it.
