First off, Arscenic is a poison, and has both the taste and smell of "bitter almonds". So i am guessing there is some kind of poison or something to go along with this film...? If not, it's a little misleading, but still a rather odd but catchy name. Secondly i gave it 2 stars. Why? To be honest, i didn't like it. But that wasn't why i marked it low. For a trailer, it didn't actually give any idea of what on earth was going on. People talking, raged actions, a girl looking distressed and afraid, and someone looking like he's just been beaten up. Plus the part where all the flasks and blindfolds were used made me even more confused. All i could gather was that it was in a science lab of a school (whether intended to be or not) and that there are 5 different "main" people in the film. The camera in those specific clips were always on the character and never on the background. The viewers would get a better feel and knowlege of the trailer/film if they saw the surrounding area more and gathered some background information for their own personal thoughts. I was looking forward to it but it was below average, sorry.

I didn't think it was too bad. I liked the pacing, but you need to tell what it's about in the trailer, because I had no clue. 3 stars from me.

As far as trailers are concerned, I'm not sure what to make of this. Unless "Bitter Almonds" is some kind of euphemism for something, then I don't know how the title applies to what I've just seen. There were many quick cuts in your editing that doesn't serve any purpose other than for the sake of quick cuts. I had to listen to it a few times because the voice on the phone seemed inaudible and the music was overpowering the dialogue. So it really doesn't grab or interest me at the moment.
