How intrigued are you, based upon seed the trailer
Anne: one thumb up
Jack: two thumbs up
Impressions based on the trailer
Looks a little “Alien”ish. Pulse-pounding, science fiction horror flick. Young attractive scientists breaking the boundaries of science in controversial and somewhat gory ways.
Comments after seeing the film.
Anne: As scary, gory and terrifying as the trailer makes the film look, this is a brilliant example of how deceiving a trailer can be! This science fiction movie has more to do with taking care of a new baby and questions of ethics and sexuality. I am not a fan of horror movies and I loved it. There are intriguing elements of psychological introspection and dysfunction that are eyebrow-raising and definitely worth checking out.
Jack: Re-viewing the trailer after watching the film elicited chuckles from both of us. Once again we have a very conventional trailer for a very unconventional film. Warner Brothers tried to promote this movie as a spine-tingling monster-on-the-loose picture with a topical science theme. In actuality, this is a deeply and unsettlingly human film about the emotional horror of new parenthood, using the science fiction genre as a vessel to shake viewers out of their comfort zones and consider philosophical questions. It has more in common with Eraserhead and David Cronenberg’s early films than with Alien.
Final Grade for Film: B+
Trailer Accuracy: 0%
