The ADR just didn't feel like it was coming from them. This was fun concept for a trailer, and the way you incorporated the text and the hearts in the text worked well. it was funny and added charm to a funny horror thriller comedy type of trailer/narrative.

Positives: The plot is awesome and compelling — I genuinely want to see the full movie, which means you've successfully hooked the audience. Your plot is clear, and the switch in music works beautifully and creates a strong dynamic shift.

Improvements: As you continue refining this, focus on tightening the trailer and restructuring the music and sound design to make everything work together more seamlessly. While the plot clarity and music switch are strong, the technical execution needs more polish. Also, work on the acting direction — it's reading a bit fake right now and needs more authenticity to sell the story. This has real potential!

Positives: There are some good performances. Some of the scenes are framed well.

Improvements: The trailer needs color grading, The look is inconsistent nd much of it is washed out. The violence is not believable. That's really hard to do well so I appreciate the attempt.
