Name Of Film : Toxic Avenger
Year Released: 1985
Genre Of Trailer: Horror/Comedy
The trailer is a highlights trailer showing the best bits of the film and the plot of the film with a narrator promoting the film.
The good aspects of the trailer was it got across the comedy aspects of the film well which is difficult to do in a Horror Comedy as most of them usually forget the Comedy in them and don't sell as well as other types of the Horror Genre.
The negative aspects of the trailer that it was too long nearly 2:30 mins long where as most trailers are about 1-1:30 mins long as people watching this trailer may get bored of it after 2 mins so wont remember it so wont want to go see the film in the cinema. It may have got the comedy aspect of the trailer right but hasn't got many horror aspects in the film at all and the ones it has got look weird and not very realistic so looks like the film is made on a cheap budget unlike other horror films like Dawn Of The Dead and Evil Dead. The lack of gore may also be because of the era of the film as was set in the mid 80's it wont be as gory as films from today as we see a lot worse gore in other media such as the News and video games.
The class average score for this trailer was a 3.5 as Horror Comedy's are risky to make as it is difficult to make a film have lots of horror and gore but make it funny as well only a few films have managed to make a good comedy/horror movie such as Shaun Of The Dead which manages to do this very well unlike the Toxic Aveneger.
