Our genre is a 'Physcological Thriller' with elements of horror.

The physcological part of our trailer can be identified from the numerous code's of enigma's that are left at the end of the trailer. Some examples of these are
  • Who dies in the film?
  • Who survives in the film?
  • Does Mary kill them?
  • Do they hang themsleves?
  • Is Mrs Kynch invloved with the deaths?
  • Is 'Holly' invloved with the deaths?
  • Does Mary die in the end?
Although the elements of horror filter through the trailer with the 'scary images'.
An example of this is the long shot of Mary standing in the forest which is used in fast pace editing put between just a long shot of the forest. This makes the audience blink and ask themseves did they actually just see Mary. This brings the supernatural element to the trailer making it a horror.


Another horror shot used is the last shot of Mary which is an extreme close up used at the end of the trailer. This is the last thing that the audience see on the trailer, as it reminds them of who Mary is without revealing too much, as this horryfying image will stick in their head until they go and see the film in cinema.
