i thought that the use of children was a good horror convention to use. The use of Depth of Field and focus changes are really well done. However i do think more could have been done with the ending and with the girl, but it looks good.

Well shot, especially with the focus shot and some of the handcam stuff. However the ending was a bit of a cliche, but still ooked effective. Good use of sound to create atmosphere.

Like the scary image of the isolated girl at the end, using the disconcerting wood as a location works well too, maybe other locations could have added to the atmosphere

Good use of children, as a convention of horror films.

The close ups of the statues are particularly effective, as the create a freaky, mysterious air to the sequence

I thought the idea of children was interesting to explore in the thriller. the cut away where the mother is with her daughter and the other child disappears is affevtive. perhaps more locations could have been used.

really like the shot looking through the stone ornaments (not sure what they actually were) - the in and out of focus shots were really interesting.

also like the comarison between the steady shots of the girls and the frantic shots of the mother.

I thougt the sound is pretty effective. It helps to create tension through the whole piece. There are sevaral cool shots of the girls in the wood. I thought the idea of using children is a very interesting theme to explore in thriller.
