Hadn't heard of this until this trailer. Now I'm intrigued.

Now some of the shots seem kinda generic and reminded me a bit much of other horror films. Various exorcist films, The Grudge (Juon), even The Eye or the video game Silent Hill. Though, duh, it's a movie too.

Yet. The main premise freaks me the hell out because it's a horror I've always thought about myself. Being haunted by your unborn twin. I've had the nightmares. Another one being that whole two colored eyes thing. I've been wondering about working those into story ideas myself. Heh. Plus Gary Oldman as an exorcist. Interesting.

If Oldman is in it, I'll watch it. Nuff said.

Well, not exactly nuff said. Seems Goyer is directing this one so I don't have high hopes but I'll check it out regardless since Gary is the FUCKIN' MAN!

Well... Oldman was also in the Demi Moore bastardization of The Scarlet Letter. Eh. I guess even the best actors make some mistakes.

Meanwhile... I almost don't want to see that trailer agian. No nightmares last night. (The cold and the hot tea with honey and a bit of booze might have helped that.) Yet this was one of the creepiest trailers I've seen in a while. Last trailer I remember giving me a nightmare was the original Japanese Grudge. Damn creepy pale blue ghost children.

No thanks. I watched The Invisible... that's enough Goyer for me.

Looks fairly creepy.

I like how they mention that Goyer co-wrote The Dark Knight and Batman Begins but don't mention that he directed Blade: Trinity and The Invisible.

Well, those two had Oldman, and one of them made insane amounts of money.

And the other two are absolutely terrible.

I understand the reasoning behind it, just think it's funny.

It's like how M.Night Shyamalan mentions "Signs" and "The Sixth Sense" in his trailers--instead of his most recent movies "The Village" and "Lady In The Water"--because those were his most successful movies.

It's a funny tactic but a necessary one. No one wants to really boast about their failures.

EDIT: I've never heard of the The Invisible, so I looked it up and seen the trailer. It looks pretty interesting to me and I'm a huge fan of Mellowdrone (who's on the soundtrack). What was wrong with the movie that so many didn't like it?
