Summary!

• Every one likes thriller, and only 1 person liked the main character to be a leading female. They also seemed to like the unknowing and to be shocked a lot, they didn't’t seem to enjoy the fact that it takes a while to actually kick in nor did they like the non stop talking scenes I think drip feed information and cliff hangers would work best for a audience above 16.
