Metacritic:
Metacritic is a website that aggregates reviews of music albums, games, movies, TV shows, DVDs and books. We used this in order to see which films got rated high, this then helped us to see which type of horror gets rated the highest. After knowing this we can start to figure out whether our trailer will be successful. (TS)

We used metacritic to find the highest ranking paranormal horror of recent years so that we could justify why we chose to use this particular sub-genre. Drag Me to Hell’ (2009) is the highest ranked horror film in recent years which means that if we base our trailer on a paranormal theme we are targeting an existing audience and it is likely to be popular.
