A good trailer isn’t just visual. The right musical choice can really let a movie stick out.
This is a clever trailer- musically.
It certainly looks harrowing- even if the “masked thrill-killer stalks white people” premise feels well-worn.
Adam Wingard’s You’re Next did well- making more than 25 million, and it had a budget of 1 million, so…
Interestingly, most reviews of the movie mention how smart and sickly funny the movie is- something the trailer certainly doesn’t give away.
Maybe I’m getting old? When I was a younger horror fan (early teens to late twenties) I could get past the discomfort of torture and evil murder if there was creativity in the staging of the death, or in the manner of the death delivered. Think of the goofily creative kills of some of the Friday the 13th films- or the ridiculously hilarious set-pieces when Freddy Krueger would torment his victims prior to dispatching them…
But unless there is a really appealing hook (the ludicrously over-the-top The Collection), the sly meta commentary of Cabin in the Woods, a lot of contemporary horror leaves me going: Eh, I guess.
Just based on the trailer, You’re Next has me going “Eh, I guess”- but the reviews that praise the movie for it’s creativity and intelligence, that is what will make me seek it out one night when Annika is at Derby Dolls.
