Evil Dead (Fede Alvarez, 2013) Trailer Review

Trailer Analysis
Name of Film - Evil Dead
Year Released - 2013
Genre of Trailer - Gory Horror
My overall review - 8/10

Brief outline of the trailer - In this trailer, we start out with getting a look at the cabin that it is mainly set in, we then cut to a scene of two characters talking which builds suspense around what is going on in this film. We get multiple text titles, giving as an overview of what a narrator would say without having a cheesy talk over which cuts to a shot of the book of the dead. We experience some gore shots with insights into the plot, giving the audience expectations into what to expect in this film, when the final title seems to be breaking apart which could symbolise what is going on in their minds whilst these events are happening. The final scene is one of the most gory as the main villain slits open her tounge and proceeds to kiss one of the main characters.

Positive Aspects - The things that I liked in this trailer are that it didn't ruin the plot, it just gave hints. It had a beat that seemed to drag you into it. Throughout the trailer, there were no real slow scenes and we got a good amount of gore which is what fans of the genre would expect in a trailer.

Negative Aspects - The only thing that I would improve in this, would be to make the gore more accurate. This is through the use of the orange blood that the main villain throws up at one point in the trailer. This would make the trailer more realistic.
