Review: (#1, C+) These three designs seem like character posters but aren’t. Each has some intriguing element that’s offset by the empty background, familiar black-white-red aesthetic, and only minimal artistic inventiveness.

Trailer Rating: B / C+ / B+

Review: (#1, B) Reading a plot summation won’t prepare you for the trailer you’ll watch. It has a dark, gritty look that reminds the audience of Lady Gaga’s larger-than-life persona and riotous concert aesthetic but as the trailer progresses, things take a dark turn and set the viewer up for a film that looks to be a unique twist on the demonic possession storyline. Whether that’s the true turn of the film or just a diversion to make the picture look appealing won’t be known until a future trailer ruins the mystique or the viewer watches the film to confirm.

(#2, C+) Not quite a music video concept but certainly an interesting sneak peak at the film. There’s not much in the way of plot presented, leaving this teaser on the wrong side of the first trailer, needing to have been revealed earlier to create interest rather than afterwards to dull it.

(#3, B+) An intriguing music video-esque design that pulls back from giving plot details but gives us more of the Anne Hathaway character, which should bolster interest in the film. Its pacing and limited breadth of narrative help make the trailer surprisingly compelling.
