I feel that this trailer is aimed at teenagers as the main characters are teenagers. As these films are part of a franchise, I also feel that this trailer is aimed at fans of the series. According to STAR THEORY, the actors will draw their own fanbase to the film and given that the majority of the actors are relatively unknown, this will mean that this is crucial to the films success. Male Gaze Thoery also syas that men will be attracted to this film as the girls are wearing short skirts, tight tops and are very pretty. The fact that the trailer features parts of gore will also attract people who are scared of gore and horror as they like to face their fears.
The Review The cast may be comelier, the edits may be sharper, the gory effects may be nastier, but this remake has nothing like the impact of Sam Raimi's 1981 The Evil Dead.
There's plenty that money can buy in Hollywood, but ingenuity on a shoestring ain't one of them. The set-up has since become a formula: a group of unsuspecting youths trip off to a backwoods cabin and regret it for the remainder of their short lives.
The sort-of comic twist here is that Mia (Jane Levy) is in withdrawal from a drug habit, so that when she's in full devil-possessed mode her friends can't tell the difference. Misgivings arise once they discover a basement hung with feline corpses (eew) and one of them stupidly recites an incantation from a book so evil it's bound in human hide and barbed wire – could it be the original Satanic Verses?
The director, Fede Alvarez, puts his cast through make-up hell at any rate, with nail-guns, shotguns and buzz-saws regularly to hand for all the lopping, skewering and peppering which the Evil One seems to prefer. The reality is, of course, that anyone who did turn up at such an unprepossessing, not to say uncomfortable, retreat would immediately turn around and find somewhere (anywhere) else to stay. And that's even before you smell the dead cats.

This trailer begins quite innocently and so it is not as extreme as evil dead. It features a little girl and an actor that people will know. I think this film is mainly indicative of psychological horror as opposed to extreme gore and horror. This kindoff ilm will attract parents, fans of the actors and people who can relate the subplot of losing a mother. The film will scare audiences are likely to get freaked out by things that happen in the head and the action isn't gory or scary.
Review: Hide and Seek is a very middle of the road thriller put together using spare plot parts from others of its most worn out genre fellows. It isn’t a particularly new idea, nor is it a bad one. Hide and Seek simply is. I’m willing to give it a pass simply for giving the underrated Elisabeth Shue something to do, even if it’s something inconsequential. There are a lot of really terrible horror/thrillers out there, and though Hide and Seek resembles every one of them, it is marginally their superior. The handful of pleasant, throwaway scares it offers are enough to satisfy people who enjoy seeing rich white folks get the shit scared out of them.
In Hide and Seek those forces aren’t leaving the slightly frumpy David Callaway (Robert De Niro) alone.His life takes a turn for the worse one night when his wife cheerfully tucks their daughter Emily (Dakota Fanning) in, kisses her on the forehead, and takes a blood soaked bath. While David sleeps, she kills herself in the tub, surrounded by lots of aromatic candles. Emily and David find her there, which for a little kid is quite a mindfuck. Concerned for Emily’s future sanity, David buys a lavish house in rural, upstate New York where he plans to play full time father (when you’re poor that’s called unemployed). He drags Emily there against the advice of family friend and personal therapist Katherine (Famke Janssen), which to me seems like a bad idea since Famke, having played the psychic Jean Grey, is generally pretty trustworthy when it comes to matters of mental health. Who’d have thought being in X-Men would leave her permanently typecast as a psychiatrist
This Horror Movie Trailer is likely to attract people who know the stories of the Warrens. People are fascinated by the fact it could be a true story and how it could happen to anyone, anywhere. The fact it suses the line "so disturbing" is an atempt to scare the people who intend to watch it. The actor Patrick Wilson, is famous for starring in lots of horror movies including Insidious. This will attract an audiencewho not only enjoy scary films but eant to see their favourite actor in films. I think this film will attract people who remmeber the warrens, people who like ghost films and people who like a good plot line.
Review:
Conjuring conjures up real-life “Demonologists” Ed and Lorraine Warren. These guys were the Lebron James of paranormal investigation back in the 70s. If you were like, “Yo Karen, I just saw a ghost in my closet.” It’s very likely the response would be, “Guess we better call the Warrens!” But the Warrens are getting tired of what they do. They’ve checked out thousands of these “hauntings” and they typically turn out to be someone stepping on a loose floor board while snacking on Fro Yo in the middle of the night. They want to start spending more time with their daughter, so they plan on exiting the paranormal business.
That is until they hear about the Perrons. The Perrons (Roger, Carolyn, and FIVE daughters), besides not being active participants of birth control, aren’t too happy with the new house they’ve purchased. One of their daughters is getting pulled by her feet while she sleeps. Another has an imaginary friend named ‘Rory.’ Another sees a creepy looking chick sitting on top of the armoire all the time. Oh, and when they play “Hide and Clap,” a game that’s not nearly as disgusting as it sounds, the spirits in the house end up playing too. That’s what really pisses them off. Haunting is fine. But when you start participating in games uninvited, that’s when we draw the line!!
So they bring the Warrens in (who strangely forget all that talk about retiring), who immediately agree there’s some bad shit going on in the house. But in order to get the house “officially” exorcised, they’re going to need approval from the Vatican. And the Vatican doesn’t do that shit unless you’ve got proof. Now they didn’t have fancy-schmancy video cameras back then, so they set up a bunch of bells on doors and still cameras.
What they learn is not good. They find out that the first owner of the house was a woman who was a witch condemned in the Salem Witch trials. But she was, like, a real one! She killed her child, saying the Devil wanted her to do it or something. This is why the spirit in the house is so powerful. She’s a damn witch! The Warrens, who once again, are used to dealing with loud plumbing as the source of people’s haunting, aren’t really prepared to deal with this, and soon find themselves, along with the Perrons, fighting for their lives.
