The Rite Trailer Analysis

From this trailer, it is very easy to distinguish what genre it is from straight away. The use of music and the writing in the beginning of the trailer, we could tell it would be based on religion due to the Latin writing in the opening followed by the sentences. We also see key iconography associated with religion, (the rosary and the cross), which consolidates the feeling we get that it's about religion. The use of sound also portrays a sort of religious horror as there are screams and in the trailer the characters suggest that there is a demonic being possessing people. We see this evidently in the actions of the woman in the trailer as she acts out of the ordinary.
