Sound - The footage is silent for the first 1.03min of the film - this scares the audience as people are curious and don't know what is happening and why it is so silent. Then the music starts playing, and it is a high pitch sound which quitens down as the person enters the back door. We then have the sound of the draw opening and the person grasping the knife. The music is not very quick paced, this portrays the idea that the person is trying their best not to be heard or seen. The music continues to be quiet as they go upstairs almost creeping likie he is. The music then becomes loud and higher pitched when we see the women, and she gets stabbed. We then hear the car pull up outside and we are confused to what is happening, and then the music gets louder as the car doors open, and more instruments are added to the music as the parents get out and they reveal the killer.
Overall Effects - The audience become scared whilst following the eyes of the stranger as they dont know what is about to happen. Then the audience get tense and surprised with what is going on through the scene when they see the knife. When the girl gets killed the audience fear for whats going to happen next and when the killer is revealed as a little boy the whole audience become shocked and confused.

Good analysis but don't forget your terminology. Under overall effects write about audience expectations connected with this genre.
