• looking really stale and familiar. SIGH. Nothing ever gets to be a classic anymore because they just bleed it to death in franchise hell until it’s got zero cache or originality..

• Jason Blum is amazing. He turned a tiny little movie that everyone forgot about into the most profitable franchise in history. This one looks even better than the rest. I’ll be first in line, bro!

• I REALLY wanted NOT to like this trailer. But it actually FREAKED ME THE F’ OUT! That looks good! And no, I did not have any involvement with the project.

• I bet all the best thrills were in that trailer! If PA1 and PA2 did the woman talk about scares like this when they were growing up

  • Yes, in both the previous films, the sisters discuss with their families how they’ve felt a malignant presence following them since they were children. In the first film, the husband finds a singed photograph of his wife as a child. She reveals that that picture shouldn’t exist – their house burned to the ground when they were girls. Say what you want but these features are well setup. I’m not necessarily giving them credit for thinking that far ahead, but they have found a really clever way to tell this story by going backwards in time with every story. I saw the first film in a special screening, before anyone had ever seen it, and I can tell you that a theater full of people when home that night and didn’t sleep. I have never experienced such a building of pit-of-your-stomach dread before. The first was was extremely effective if you didn’t know what you were walking into, and if you haven’t been so ruined by the A.D.D.-pandering gore fests of modern horror. It was nearly flawless ghost storytelling. The second wasn’t nearly as strong, but it had its moments. I’m looking forward to this 3rd incarnation (especially considering the Bloody Mary teaser was completely eerie), but I’ll be keeping my expectations low. It must take place in the early 90s? I see VCRs! EEEEEK!

• The water scare would’ve been really good in theatres if they didn’t spoil it in the trailer.

• The first two were not very scary at all. Was dissapointed to be honest wit ya. When I just watched the trailer to this one it creaped me out more than the first two combined. Looks like a good one!!
