Horror Trailer Analysis(Solo): The Possession


Horror trailer analysis

Name of film: The possession                                          Year released: 2012

Genre of trailer: Horror                                                     Your mark: 8/10

The trailer starts with a Dad coming to get his kids to stay with him for the weekend. While they’re there it shows them going to somebodies garden sale which at this point is where the girl finds a box that she wants her dad to buy for her. They bring in home and the dad comes to the conclusion that whoever made the box didn’t want people to open it. Eventually it gets opened causing strange things to happen to the girl and her family.

The trailer builds a lot of suspense and leaves the audience wanting know what this box and why it’s causing all these problems. There is well placed close ups off the girl eating her breakfast to quick and there is eleven quick cuts from her to her dad really showing how this girl has changed. The music in the background works really well as it’s not too loud but it gives it a really creepy affect with the silent whispering as if they are saying something religious and maybe giving the audience an idea that this box might have something to do with the devil. The music builds up further on in the trailer to build tension and start to make the trailer more exciting.

The trailer could have added more action to it to make it more exciting and really grab the audience’s attention. There is so many quick cuts that it could confuse the audience to what the film is about.
