Horror Film Trailer Examples

The Last Excorcism




The part in this trailer I think is very effective is the bits where the possesed girl's body is bent and twisted in abnormal ways to signify her being possesed by an evil soul. The shot which shows the view from out of the window where she is walking past is also very effective, and adds to the 'creep' factor. I think knowing of the unknown is a scary aspect of this trailer and film (as i have seen it before). The deamon is possesing an inoccent young girl, who is turned evil. Her costume (a white gown) is also stereotypically frightening.



The Echo




This trailer also has parts in it which I find very effective in scaring the audience. The shots moving under the bed make the viewers heart flip in a way, because they are expecting something to be under there but at the same time are scared that there will be something under there. The 'boogie man' legend, of something hiding under the bed is still very much alive today. Not knowing whats in dark places.
