Own trailer review: Resident Evil Extinction (2007)

.Name of film: Resident Evil Extinction
.Year released:2007
.Genre of film: Horror
In the trailer we see Alice wake up in a room. She is disorientated and we see flash backs appear on screen. She then gets killed but we find out this is a clone. The trailer the n moves onto a fast montage of action shots. This montage includes vehicles moving at high speeds, many zombies being killed and some man eating crows. The trailer ends with Alice surrounded by a fiery explosion and the title appears on screen.
This trailer is full of jumps which draws the attention of the audience. Sadly, the trailer builds suspense towards the end but fails to deliver a final jump, the trailer would have scored higher if a final jump was present. But, the trailer does clearly set the narrative, when going to watch the film, I knew exactly what to expect and the film lived up to the expectations gained from the trailer. On the other hand, the trailer reveals slightly too much. Some of the main plot twists are shown in the trailer so when they happen in the film, it is no shock to those who had seen the trailer. There is also a lot of restricted narration in the trailer which means no gore is shown. The Resident Evil movies are not the goriest of horrors but they do contain some which makes it more enjoyable, by watching the trailer there is no hint that the film is going to contain any body horror.
Overall, I gave this trailer a 7. When making my own trailer I will make it a red band trailer so I can show a lot of body horror. I will also be sure to include a final jump at the end and clearly set the narrative.
