I reviewed the trailer for the gory / horror film Day of the Dead (1985). This is the third film in George A. Romero's 'Dead' series, so when this trailer came out the audiences had prior knowledge of what the film is going to be like. The previous two films Night of the Living Dead (1965), and Dawn of the Dead (1978) were known for being very gory at the time but this trailer displayed no signs of gore and even very few horror aspects.
During the trailer they keeps cutting away to a scene in the cinema of people watching the film, and as the trailer progresses we see a zombie sitting in the cinema with the crowd. This scene I feel takes away from all creepiness or fear that the trailer should have had and makes the film look silly.
