Class Trailer Review - Evil Dead



Released: 2013

Genre: Gory Horror

In the trailer it shows a girl being attacked in the woods by a demon/girl. Due to the trailer being red band instead of green band the trailer shows a quick montage of body horror.

Successful aspects of the trailer include realistic gore which was quick but at a good pace. The trailer achieves drama by using good and short/effective dialogue with likeable music. It also showed a lot of horror conventions which showed the audience which genre it was from the offset. This trailer also uses collision cutting throughout which creates a tense atmosphere; the horror is broken up by text which helped outline the plot.
 

Unsuccessful aspects were that some of the audience could argue that there is too much gore but if this was a problem then they probably wouldn’t watch a red band trailer in the first place.

My Mark: 7/10

The Trailers Average Score in Class: 8.5/10
