Evil Dead/ 2013/ Gory & Psychological Horror
Plot:
A group of 5
teenagers go to a cabin in the woods where they discover a haunted book which
summons evil demons that live within the woods. All are killed until one is
left to fight away the demons.
What did you like about it?
When the text
comes up on the screen, it doesn’t all come up at once, but instead it goes in
time with the sound effects which adds a dramatic effect to the whole trailer
creating suspense. I also like how cross cutting is used between the creepy
girl telling her friend that they need to leave and her trying to escape. This
shows us a lot of the film without giving too much away but leaving the
audience with a vague idea about what is going on. Finally, I found the scary
voice the girl used very effective. It makes the audience feel very uneasy and
literally makes them shudder which is the whole point of making a horror film.
What didn’t you like about it?
Because I’m not
much of a gory horror fan, I found all the gore a bit over the top and unnecessary.
This is just my opinion and I reckon a lot of people will disagree with me,
especially if they’re gory horror fans. If it was me making this trailer, I
would have used a more subtle approach to the gore and maybe focused more on
the psychological side to the trailer.
My score:
8
Class score:
