What people said:

• Maybe finish on the chair shot
• Include some foley sounds
• The sting at the end is really effective
• Atmospheric sound is really good
• Use more stings
• Knife image/poster - need some sort of sound to enhance meaning
• Add in a scream
• Experiment with fonts
• Close up when she is tied up (jolted zoom)
• Slow down the canted shot - it's a really good shot (maybe a freezeframe)
• Have more of a sound build up at the beginning
• Framing and the camera work are brilliant
• Make the font smaller

From this, I have been editing my teaser trailer and making improvements from this feedback.
