Toxic avenger was released in 1985 at the time it
was very scary and classed as a gory horror, however as the years have
progressed people often find it difficult to believe that this was a serious
horror film and often relate it to the comedy side of horror because it’s so
shockingly different to horror films today.
I scored this trailer 1/10 simply because it was too long winded and
lacked action/horror to make it remotely interesting. The editing was very
minimalistic with only a depressing voice over to fall back on. The voice over
was extremely cheesy, and I found it hard to take the trailer seriously. The
trailer in general was very long, and basically told the whole story in the
space of time. The trailer repeated ‘toxic avenger’ too many times making it
become repetitive and common. The trailer was a shocking 3 minutes long, so you
quickly lose attention throughout it. I found it difficult to find anything
remotely good about this trailer simply because it lacked so many horror
conventions and did everything to the extreme. If I had to select the aspect I
like best I would have to settle for the comedy side, despite the fact that is
not the horrors purpose I found it difficult to watch without laughing at this
particular trailer. When taking my trailer into context I will remember that
quality over quantity really helps for the success of the trailer.
