Trailer review- 

We can see that there is a couple going through a tough time, the lady then goes missing and it turns into a crime. Then the husband is being accused for the missing of his wife. We can also see that the police are working hard to find out what really happened. They do many things like read through her diary and thats where we hear 'he's gonna kill me' 3 times. The suspense is built and thats where they end it.
