Horror trailer class review (2)


We also looked at the trailer for Dawn of the Dead (2004) in class.  The trailer was given an average score of 6.5 out of 10.  The reason it didn't score higher is that for a zombie film that is known to be very gory, there was a dissapointing amount of body horror, and very few zombies .  The use of collision cutting at the start of the trailer had a good impact, it started off with quite a peaceful scene but quickly picked up pace and volume when the zombie girl bursts into the room and we hear screaming when the screen turns black.  How the trailer ends was also quite clever, they made it look like the film was breaking.
