The Mangler

The Mangler | Robert Englund | Ted Levine | Tobe Hooper | Movie Trailer | Review
The start of the trailer is very effective as it jumps straight in by letting the audience know what the film will be about -  a machine that could be haunted. The eerie music at the start is very effective as it immediately lets the audience know that this movie will be scary and involve horror. The machine is obviously not human which creates a more effective type of horror as we get the impression that humans will not be able to stop it. At the beginning we see this man at the top who has a part of him in the machine, he suspiciously looks over the machine, this camera angle and voice over are effective as they scare the audience, the man is shown to have metal legs or something that causes him to walk strangely. The names and credits on the trailer are in red typography that is very effective. We may use a typography similar to this in our trailer as we think it is very effective. The drops of blood that are shown to the audience when the men are talking about the machine connote death which is happening in this movie. The voice-over mentions that 3 masters of horror have created this machine, this gives the impression that they are killing people via a machine which means they cannot be caught. The audience are left thinking what is going to happen? Who will be killed next? these are questions that they want answered after seeing the trailer which means that they will want to see the film.
