A 43-year-old woman named Mandie Wales provided feedback on the opening scene of a horror film. She listed her expectations for a horror film including darkness, woodsy settings, eerie music, serious faces, and sudden appearances of mysterious objects and people. She felt the opening scene met all of her expectations through its use of darkness in the woods, scary music, a masked face appearing suddenly, silence during flash photos, and a door slamming with sound effects. She believes the intended audience is those over 15 years old of both genders and would be satisfied watching the full-length film if it continued the gripping storyline and scary conventions established in the opening scene.
