Metacritic
Whilst doing our audience research we wanted to discover what ratings our inspirational films were rated to see if they were enjoyed by the audience we are targeting, for this we used Metacritic. On Metacritic 28 weeks later was top in the the metascore ratings list when we refined our results to get the films in order from highest to lowest. This instantly supports our point that our inspirational films are enjoyed by the viewing audience. Shortly following this was 28 days later, this and 28 weeks later was one of our main inspirations for our film due to some of our shots paying homage to the movie. They are very popular films so we know that our trailer could mirror the success of the films and also achieve a large audience. This is because the film ratings are both very high, this means that it is the favourite sub genre of a lot of people who like horror films.
Secondly shortly after '28 weeks later' is 'Shaun Of The Dead' and 'Land Of The Dead', these films are also of a similar sub genre to our film and is among the top metascore films with a rating of 76, further promoting our point of our audience enjoying this particular sub genre. J.B
