Evil Dead (2013) Class Trailer Review

Evil Dead (2013)
Mark after viewing: 9/10

What happened in the trailer?
A girl (Mia) seems to think she is processed by a demon; her friends try to stop her killing them.

Which positive, clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well?
It using collision cutting throughout such as slow to quick and quick flashes of action with sound fx to accompany them. There are genuinely horrific bits such as the tongue cut scene and the eyes on the girl. The music fits the writing very dramatically. The inter-titles tell us the story while still being dramatic and the text is kept short so that it doesn’t bore the reader. Overall this trailer keeps the audience in suspense and fits the target audience perfectly as it isn’t too boring and reveals lots of gore.

Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful, and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?
This trailer reveals too much of the plot as it is too long at 2 minutes 20 seconds. This could put people off the film as all the best bits have been shown in the trailer so they haven’t got to watch the film to be scared. There is overly unrealistic puke and for some people there might be too much gore in the trailer which will put certain fans off.

What was the trailer’s average score in class? Why did it receive that mark?

The average score in the class was 8.6/10 which was the winner out of all the trailers we watched. This is because the inter-titles were good and not too long or boring as well as the great use of music throughout. There was also plenty of collision cutting which kept the tension at its maximum making every moment appealing to its target audience.
