I HATE it when trailers give everything away. BUT... From what I understand... the trailer for this film actually shows you VERY LITTLE of it's plot and twists. It makes you THINK you've seen everything... but it really doesn't. Cheers! Hey there Jason,

Normally I’d TOTALLY agree with you. I HATE it when trailers give everything away. BUT…

From what I understand… the trailer for this film actually shows you VERY LITTLE of it’s plot and twists. It makes you THINK you’ve seen everything… but it really doesn’t.

Cheers!

This trailer is shameful and the makers should be ashamed of themselves. This trailer gives away the ENTIRE film as far as I am concerned. They even show you who the bad guy is in the trailer. Granted it looks like he is a nobody(actor-wise) but couldn't they give us a little suspense. What is is with the movie companies that they don't trust people will go see a movie without showing them everything. When I first saw the trailer in the theaters in Front on Hostel, I shouted "well, no need to see it now, they just gave away the whole film". Needless to say I heard quite a few people around me agree with me. Yes, you could make the argument that it is a remake and that "people" already know the story. Well, there are plenty of younger people who never saw the original and i'm sure even some older ones who never got a chance to see it. I know it sounds dumb but I make a point to boycott movies where they gave the whole thing away in the trailers. It probably helps that most of the films they do this too are films I wouldn't waste my time with anyway. The first plot twist?

Did you not get that from the TITLE? It's a pretty decent movie too - used to run on TV when I was a kid and scared the jeepers out of me. Worth a rent from Netflix. The new version appears to be a lot lamer - I can't imagine it will have the shocking twists of the original. Everyone will be fine in the end, I'm sure, and that ain't how it happened in the original. Of COURSE it’s a remake of the 1979 version. Did you not get that from the TITLE?

This looks to be some very stupid shit, yes indeedy.
