Hopefully this will be the next badass slasher/home invasion film released in the US. I have a singular penchant for that particular genre, so I am honestly psyched about this movie. Its release has been delayed for a while now, though apparently it'll be released for May 30.
Check out the original teaser (http://youtube.com/watch?v=6HMd59MaBWI).
The trailer (http://youtube.com/watch?v=nCU0k_jbCUo).
IMDB site (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482606/).
This makes Chrono a happy, happy girl.
Anyone else psyched with me?

The trailer was boring but I think the movie will be very nice http://smileydatabase.com/s/11.png

I think the trailer wasn't half bad. I don't think the movie will be much different, except pacing HAS to be slightly quicker or no one will sit there and let the dramatic scares build. Any ideas on the victor? I rather have the people diein the end.

I definitely agree with you guys... It was the original teaser that really got me hooked, but the trailers now are really underwhelming. I honestly hope that it delivers.

I saw this trailer on TV last night and it seemed creepy.
I would check it out for sure.

I've been interested in this for some time now. As far as waiting for suspense to build, I think most horror films are seriously lacking in that department recently. My step-dad said it reminds him of a movie like Vacancy only "done right".

Doesn't look bad, but from the sneak-peak we had months ago I assumed it'd be much different. Seems a lot like Vacancy to me, which isn't terrible, considering I actually enjoyed that movie.

I saw the trailer yesterday, it aired during the NBA playoffs. I thought it looked OK, the masks were creepy enough...
I agree with Mr. Grady. The masks do look creepy. I also found this image on Google, which I think is pretty cool:

They just released the poster that is pretty fucking creepy if you ask me.

Well, this wasn't the best thing in the world. Basic story, and basic scare scenes. I did like one scene, but I wont talk until everyone who will see it has. In any case, I didn't like it, and I don't hate it, so all I can say is go see it if the tickets are five bucks or less, grab a clingy girl and hope you can score! Just kidding, seriously, not worth the DVD.

I saw it tonight. I had high hopes for it. I thought it would be original and was honestly expecting to be scared. While it wasn't awful it was not scary nor original. I found it predictable, boring and pretty standard for the genre. I suggest renting it, don't spend more than you need to.
