Existing Trailer Analysis


Name of film: Evil Dead                                                                   Year Released: 2013

Genre of Trailer: Horror                                                                   Mark after viewing: 9/10


The trailer shows a young woman suffering from cabin fever and going insane and also running through the woods surrounding the cabin which is a typical horror setting. It then shows a quick montage of the gory things in which the demon girl does.

Positive comments I have to make about trailer are that it is definitely scary as there is genuine horrific parts such as the graphic tongue cut and also the eyes of the girls are quite scary but this is to be expected in a red band trailer. I also liked the sound effects, and the way the music fits the inter-titles very dramatically and tells the audience the story in a less boring fashion. I enjoyed the use of collision cutting throughout and the quick flashes of action.

However a couple of aspects of the trailer that I thought were unsuccessful or could be improved on was that the trailer revealed too much of the plot and also the use of un-realistic puke.
