Evil Dead Class Trailer Reveiw


Evil Dead (2013) Trailer Review

Name of Film: Evil Dead

Year released: 2013

Genre of trailer: Gory horror

Your mark after viewing: 8/10

What happened in the trailer?
The trailer shows a group of friends who end up going to an abandoned cabin in the woods, after being there for a while they find an old book and a possessed like girl in one of the rooms within the cabin. The trailer later reveals that the book unleashes evil.

Which positive, clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well?
I thought the speed of the trailer was good because it wasn’t too fast so the audience lost interest and it wasn’t too slow neither which made the audience get bored. There was a slow start to the trailer making the pace right as it sped up more towards the end. I also thought the trailer didn’t give too much information away to the viewer. The dialogue which was in the trailer added a dramatic effect with the music which as being played over the top of it.

Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful, and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?
I think the trailer should have maybe had more gore as it was limited. The gore which was in the trailer also needed to be more accurate as the blood which was used was orange instead of a dark red colour.

What was the trailers average score in class? Why did it receive that mark?
The average score for this trailer was 8.5/10 making it one of the popular trailers we viewed in class. I think this trailer got the response it got because it was well created, in the sense of what clips it included and the pace of it. This trailer also drew the audience in, making them want to see the film.
