Tile: Evil Dead remake (2013)
Genre of trailer: Gory Horror (red band trailer)
Your mark after viewing: 8/10
What happened in the trailer:
This trailer is a highlights teaser trailer that shows lots
of parts of the film, it presents the main characters and the general plot line
without giving away the complete narrative. It cuts between scenes that come
from different parts of the film showing
the ‘best bits’.
What positive aspects do you think you could include in your
own trailer:
The music was extremely effective in this the beat sounds
like a heartbeat and increases in speed throughout the trailer raising the heartbeat
of the audience, this pumps adrenalin into the audience and makes them respond
to the trailer well. The fast cutting between scenes and shots creates a sense
of panic and mania and this was carried across well in the trailer. This also meant
that the pacing felt right as it didn't feel rushed but it didn't feel slow. The
gore was well done with the right amount to anchor this trailer into the horror
genre but not enough to spoil the film for gory horror fans. The dialogue was
also well used as it helped the audience understand the narrative of the film
but also pushed the trailer along in pace.
What negative aspects do you think you would avoid in your
trailer:
As the trailer progressed it became slightly samey with the
amount of gore and the narrative, although it was a gory horror it suggested
that the gore was the same through the film and this may have put off some gory
horror fans. In some places the gore seemed over the top as well like when they
are chain sawing the blood is going everywhere and looks orange in color this
makes it a little bit unrealistic.
Trailers average score:
8.5 because overall it was a well-rounded horror that catered to the
demands of its target audience who would have seen the generic features of their
favorite type of film and been interested in going to watch it even if in
places it was a bit similar and over the top.
