Year Released: 2004
Genre: Psychological Horror
The trailer is a quick montage of the scariest moments of the film.
Successful aspects of the trailer were the font effects that enter the shot via a water/wave effect which is superimposed into the trailer. This makes the trailer eerie whilst suggesting that water is a plot point in the film. I also liked that there is a lot of close ups including an extreme close up of an eye which shows the reflection as well as creating a sense of claustrophobia for the audience. A clever aspect was that all the scary things happen in the background of the shots which makes the audience pay extra attention. Another factor that I enjoyed was that there is a cctv camera effect during the trailer which suggests that she is being followed.
The only unsuccessful aspect was the lack of a jump scare at the end as the trailer just didn't feel finished.
I give this trailer an 8/10 as I could not find many flaws and it made me want to watch the film which is, after all, its aim.
