Toxic Avengers (1985) Trailer

WHICH POSITIVE, CLEVER OR INTERESTING ASPECTS DO YOU THINK YOU COULD INCLUDE IN YOUR OWN TRAILER? WHAT GENERIC FEATURES ARE FULFILLED WELL?

·         This film is a comedy horror, and this trailer delivers comedy more so than horror. In terms of the comedy, it will appeal to an audience with a weird and silly sense of humour due to how strange some of the events shown in the trailer are.

·         The camera shots are okay

WHICH ASPECT OF THE TRAILED DID YOU THINK WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, AND WOULD PUT OFF ITS TARGET AUDIENCE? HOW IS IT DISAPPOINTING?

·         During the trailer there was an overuse of the word ‘toxic avenger’ which was extremely annoying and irritating – spent more time focusing on how many times they said that rather than focusing on the film.

·         The trailer is way too long; it’s roughly around 3minutes and 10seconds long.

·         For me personally, and the vast-majority of my class, found it to be ridiculous rather than funny.

·         The gore effects were so terrible

·         The actors don’t look as though they’re taking the job serious which makes the trailer look all the more as if it’s a joke.

WHAT WAS THE TRAILERS AVG. SCORE IN CLASS? WHY DID IT RECEIVE THAT MARK?

The average class score was 3.5. Reason being, it doesn’t deliver horror aspects at all. Some people may find it funny but the vast-majority of audiences will find that it doesn’t deliver on the comedy aspects either; it’s too silly. The gore effects and special effects were poorly done. And the duration was just too long, after a while you get bored.
