After
complaining about those lousy movie previews that give too much of the plot away, it's only fair that I point out
this trailer, which, as far as these things go, is just about perfect. I've seen this trailer at the cineplex and audiences really go wild over it.

Jonathan - I agree. This preview is great. I can already tell that it isn't the type of movie that I can watch without covering covering my eyes with my coat - but the trailer makes me want to see it anyhow.
That is a good trailer. Although I have always hated the phrase "Bad things happening to good people" since I've yet to meet many good people in my life.
Also Brian Cox is in it and he can ham it up with the best of them (he can also act great as well depending on the director, so he's always fun to watch).
I love this trailer. It's fucking evil, and it gets you all sorts of juiced to see the movie b/c, as you say, they tease the movie's premise instead of revealing it.
Hopefully Wes Craven doesn't hack the shit out of it...I love both of the lead actors.
See Jon, I dislike that trailer for the same reason you like it. It doesn't tell me enough about the movie and is actually misleading.
If I hadn't read the synopsis on the film website, I would have went into it thinking it was completely different than it really is.
I guess I prefer a misleading trailer to one that gives the movie away, especially when it comes to B-movie type thrillers and twisty-turny "surprise" movies.

When I see a trailer, I'm also more interested getting in the set-up of a movie... cute looking guy turns creepy and attacks girl on a plane... mom wakes up from a nap to find her daughter missing on a plane... than I am in the reasons underlying the set-up. I'm willing to wait for the movie to see the "why".
