We know we're a little late on this trailer, but we've been meaning to start this blog up for a while now.
We are intrigued by this trailer but we are somewhat hesitant because of the gloss they seem to have applied to it, with the upside down city and all of the elaborate camera work. As a trailer, it is pretty solid, but we worry that it almost looks more expensive (and better) than the movie itself.
Also, we have mixed feelings on M. Night, but he's just producing here not directing, though the film is being billed as coming "from the mind of" said individual. So, maybe we can excuse Unbreakable and Lady in the Water and hope he gets to back to his Sixth Sense and arguably, Signs, roots.
The simplicity of the title is another plus in our books and it really does seem like the studio has put a lot of movie into this project so we will end up seeing it for better or worse. Watch out for our review around September 17th.
Either way, as I'm sure all of you loyal readers noticed, there is some imagery that tries to flash at you on an almost subliminal level in this trailer. An old trick, but it works here for us.
We've broken down what you see for you...
First,
So, everyone seems to be dead here. We can assume, as is the practice in movie trailers, that the blood has been edited to a black colour and will be restored to red in the final product. Interesting, to say the least.
Next,
Is this the titular 'Devil'? Whose to say, but it almost an Orphanage rip off to me.
Either way, the trailer seems to suggest that the 'Devil' cannot be the young woman, as she was bitten, or the black man in front of the above trailer cap image. That's just speculation on our part and M. Night does love his twists.
A project to look out for, for sure.
On another note, sadly, this is probably one of the only posts that D-Bag and K-Reel will be collaborating on, as soon there will be an ocean between us.
XOXO
