Name Of Film: Dawn Of The Dead
Genre Of Trailer: Action Horror
Year Released: 1978
Your Mark After Viewing: 3/10
This movie trailer is a stark contrast to modern film
trailers, it features a narrator that introduces the narrative of the movie so
the audience know exactly what they are getting from the film. The trailer also
introduces the main characters, and shows a variety of scenes from the movie,
although it could be said that the trailer shows a little too many of these
scenes, a little too much of the movie is included in the trailer in my
opinion. It is certainly behind in the terms of quality compared to modern
trailers, although this is an unfair comparison considering the age of this
trailer. The trailer features a lot of restricted narration and shows no body
horror, it gives no clues to the actual films gory content. However I did not
enjoy this trailer, it wasn’t scary and it didn’t make me jump, nor did it make
the movie seem enticing and a ‘must watch’. There was not enough suspense or
low key lighting to make it seem eerie, nor was there a lot of action scenes to
show off the scary parts, the narration over top didn’t help this because it
made the trailer seem almost comical.
