Cool. I wasn’t huge on Barbarian but I liked it enough that I’m looking forward to this and that trailer is good.
I was not really on board with the teaser trailer and the logline but damn, that trailer was effective. Loved Barbarian and I'm not a horror fan at all (big wimp) and still don't know why I decided to give it a chance, but I'll go see this.
I had a vividly terrifying nightmare about this movie last night for some reason. I was in some parking garage with a bunch of other people and I saw a couple kids just standing there, staring at us. I tried calling out to them but they wouldn’t respond and just kept staring. Then time “froze” around me and all of these people and cars who had been moving just stopped moving except for a few of us. Those of us who could still move instinctively knew what was happening because this had apparently been happening with greater frequency and if you could still move then you had been “chosen” which meant you were in danger. This guy showed up with an assault rifle and started walking towards us and a few people started to panic. A couple of them tried to run and the guy nonchalantly just blew them away. Everyone else seemed to understand the rules were that you had to stay where you were because the guy knew who wasn’t frozen in place versus who was. He started taking people and seemed distracted so I tried to hide. I was crawling away when I felt his gun at my side and he told me that I needed to be smart and make the right choice so I relented and went with him. Then he took us to some, I don’t know, warehouse - run down apartment? Wherever we were, there were all of the missing kids and he handed us these children’s books with nursery rhymes in them and told us to read them to the kids. One of the pictures was absolutely something my mom had hanging up in our house when I was little so that creeped me out that my brain picked up and dropped in that little detail. The rhymes were familiar but also foreboding and one of them mentioned some sort of countdown - or in this case I guess it was counting up. The guy pointed to the picture and asked the kids if they saw the number 13. They said yes and he asked them if they also saw the number 15. They said yes again and he said something to the effect of “doesn’t it look like something bad is going to happen on 15?” and they all nodded. That resonated with me in my dream because apparently this was the 13th occasion this sort of event had happened so I knew this would only occur one more time and then the 15th time something terrible was coming. I was then released and sent home where the police were waiting for me because somehow they already knew I’d been “selected”. They told me the person behind all of this had sent me a package and it was sitting on my couch. It was one of those creepy children’s books and when I opened it there was an illustration of the missing children (who all looked like shadows) watching someone walk out the door. The page said “We are sad you have to go now,” and then I turned the page to see that the person walking out the door was me and the page read “but we will see you again” and the number on the door was 15. All I remember after that was absolutely panicking trying to explain to the police what I’d seen and them telling me that’s what all the “others” had told them too and then I woke up, scared out of my mind. What I’m saying is, I’ve been up since like 3:30 this morning.
I do wish the trailer was more vague and mysterious like Barbarian’s was but I’m so fucking ready for this movie
trailer looks cool but honestly not big on that poster. looks like some kinda bland art netflix would slap together for one of their originals
Amazing trailer, I think it perfectly gives us an idea of what to expect without giving away too much (although there's one shot in there that I wish they didn't show)
2 hours of security cam footage (actually just a six-minute loop), computer whirring and creepy reflections in the monitors. Movie marketing is back!
Seeing the movie trailer again before 28 Years Later - still looks wild/creepy af. I’m not really a horror film fan per se, but this looks more horror-adjacent that might allow me to see it (like The Witch, which I loved)
