Researching Film Tag Lines

A Tag Line = a memorable phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of a brand, product or text. 

1. Alien - In space no one can hear you scream.

2. Maniac Cop - You have the right to remain silent. Forever.

3. Psycho - Check in. Unpack. Relax. Take a shower.

4. A Nightmare on Elm Street - If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming. She wont at all.

5. House - Ding Dong. You're Dead. 

6. Final Destination - Death doesn't take no for an answer. 

When researching previous horror/thriller film tag lines, these were most memorable. When relating these to our film trailer I like the idea of two sentences as it is easy to say and can be catchy. I like the length of the tag line for A Nightmare on Elm Street as it think that having longer sentences look appealing underneath the film title on the film poster.

With our film trailer, as the main themes represented are escaping, capturing and stalking, we would like to incorporate these into our tag line. We like the idea of having a question as the first sentence and then a vague answer after. However, we are not set on having a question in the tagline as we like the idea of the tagline below.

For example - "Just when you think you're alone, you're at your weakest"
