TRAILER
The genre of this movie is horror, sci-fi. Even though the sub genre is sci-fi the trailer shows paranormal activity occurring, which will be useful for our trailer. Since this movie has a low rating, 'The Diabolical' would not be as useful for our trailer, but they do have some good scenes which we would like to use.
In Conclusion
In our trailer we decided our genre would be Paranormal/Supernatural and the reviews from Metacritic would help us look out for what the audience like and what they don't like. From the recommendations I can see that that the highest scored films are ones that have horrific acts of violence that occur mysteriously and or mysterious happenings that increasingly turn gory. Our group can take this idea and use it for instance a family or characters move into a home or travel somewhere and horrific things occur mysteriously whilst in their home or destination, with a gory ending. Although we won't use common things such as "unexplained voices" "using scientists to take on violent forces that paranormal experts are too frightened to face".
