Plot: When a group of friends go to a cabin in the woods, they find a book which results in nearby demons coming to consume their souls.
What I liked:The location of the trailer is extremely typical of a horror film, the wooden cabin in a forest definitely connotes a dangerous, terrifying environment. The trailer doesn't run in order, it goes from past to present and I think in this trailer, they've done it very successfully. We are aware as an audience that they go back and forth in time and we understand why. Each camera angle is interesting and there are never any boring moments in the trailer. Another thing, which I think is vital for a good horror trailer, is that it doesn't give away too much of the film. It is inviting. It makes you want to watch the film to see what happens to the characters.
What I didn't like: There wasn't much about this trailer that I didn't like, but towards the end it shows the girl possessed. I think this would be way more effective if they didn't already show her possessed towards the beginning of the trailer. Except for this, I think the whole trailer is really effective and represents the gory horror sub-genre it is reflecting.
My score:
9/10.
