Hi, I went through your project and this is exactly the kind of editing where precision really matters horror isn’t about adding effects, it’s about controlling timing, silence, and emotional discomfort so the tension builds naturally into the climactic moments. I can help you enhance your footage by focusing on pacing, sound design alignment, and visual rhythm so the horror feels immersive and genuinely unsettling rather than just “edited.” Before I begin, I’d like to clarify: What sub-genre are you aiming for (psychological, supernatural, slasher, found footage)? Do you already have sound design, or should I enhance audio tension as well? How many key climactic scenes should be prioritized? Estimated turnaround time: depends on footage length, but I typically focus heavily on refinement for each climactic sequence rather than rushing cuts, ensuring each scare lands effectively. I can also share relevant horror editing samples so you can review my pacing and tension style. Looking forward to working together.
