If the popcorn had been flying in a startled arc from the hands up into the upper right corner, I would have given this those extra points. It's a little out of focus/soft -- which may be your camera. I think it's too brightly lit -- a darker, moodier scene, like you're watching TV at night would have been more appropriate, I think. I've got to say, the jacket on the attacker just doesn't work for me -- but that's a personal thing.
I think it would work better if the assailant were "implied" instead of rght there (say with a looming shadow). Or, maybe have the arm and knife appear to be reaching out of the screen toward the "viewer."
Initially voted this low, but I'm seeing the fun now :) Had it been me, I would have used a darker room and although it would have made a mess, have the popcorn flying. bumping you up to 5...
I think the room needs to be a little darker, just to set the mood. What i like is the way the knifeman is looking at the camera and the victim is not.
One of the few that made me smile! Couls have done with a tighter crop - the tables on the lhs and door on the right don't add anything and are distracting because the DOF is so great.
Your setup is rather poor... Centering, clipping, lots of dead space, poor lighting. The guy looks more so happy than frightened. And the guy with the knife doesn't seem very scary.
Um, some problems with the narrative: Why is the bloke reacting when he hasnt been stabbed yet? Why is he looking at the camera? He is moving, but the popcorn isnt flying. Why is this happening in daylight and not at night? The movie is missing from the photo.
