Horror Trailer - Grudge


Grudge is a supernatural horror film produced by Takashi Shimizu and is a remake of a Japanese film Ju-on: The Grudge. Grudge is about a curse which was is born into the world when someone dies in a violent or in powerful rage. Its one of the most scariest films of all time. 

The trailer starts off with a chilling sound and the image of the production line. It then goes on to show a house when some writing appears on pure white background saying 'in the grip of a powerful rage' which is done so that they can capture their audience's attention and so that they focus all their minds on the house shown. It then goes straight to someones screams and someone putting their hand into water which from the audience's point of view seems as if they are trying to grab the audience. Someone is screaming yet that image of whats actually happening is covered to keep the audience guessing and in suspense. The writing is shown again and the purpose of this is to let the audience know is what the film is going to be about but not letting them know whats behind it. The main actress is then introduced and and she is talking over the trailer so that we know the film is about her and from her point of view. We see various different clips of her with strange things in the background hinting to the audience of whats there.Time to time disturbing pictures of people come up which is supposed to scare the audience yet its so effective that you still want to watch ahead. The music builds up suddenly and then we see an image of a hand in the actress's hair which is quite disturbing and scary. The name of the film pops in white over a black background and then suddenly it goes back to that image with the girl getting scared and looking back to see.

This trailer was really scary and terrifying yet I still wanted to watch it know what happens as it was so effective and attracting due to the mysteriousness of it. Its not your typical kind of horror film when their is a killer on the loose but its supernatural and something that cannot be explained making it more appealing to the audience.
