The viewer enjoyed the varied camera shots that complemented the situations in the video. While the music was generally appropriate, it did not make the opening as effective as it could be. The storyline of manipulating a child's fears and emotions for a thriller was found to be an interesting concept. The acting of the child and parents was viewed as quite good. Overall, the opening sequence was deemed to fit the requirements of a psychological thriller in its use of a child actor and appropriate level of revealing details without gore. The music could be more powerful but it was otherwise well-directed as a thriller opening.
