What
happens in the trailer?
A band of
survivors have taken refuge in an underground army bunker. We see that a
scientist is trying to find a gore to fix and teach the zombies. However under
the dictatorship of the army, life is going to be as hard as it is up on the
surface.
What was
good about the trailer?
This trailer
does a good job in setting up the narrative and some character development. We
know exactly what is going to happen without seeing all the best bits. Romero
name is also mentioned in the trailer, which is good that they are attaching on
to his name. We all know the success that Night of the Living dead and Dawn
of the Dead had in the box office.
What
didn’t work?
However the
trailer doesn’t work for a horror movie. It gives it too much of a false idea.
We see a zombie seating in a cinema watching the film trailer. This gives the
whole vibe of comedy and silliness. For anybody that has seen the film it is a
juxtaposed as it possible could be. It’s one of the goriest horror movies to
ever be realised. It has a person getting ripped apart and some other memorable
scene. However we see nothing that would suggest that in the trailer. Where Evil
Dead delivers the gore, Day of the Dead doesn’t. It’s just shows
really dull scenes of people talking. We know it is a green band but there no
even a look at the zombies, I think we see one in the whole trailer, which for
a horror is poor.
Trailer
average and why did it get it?
It scored an
average of 2.5. This is clearly because the trailer doesn’t work as a horror.
It hints at a comedy film with zombies themes. It just complete sells the film
in the wrong way, something we need to avoid when making our trailers. 2/10
