this is the best horror trailer stilll today. instead of showing scenes of pointless voilence,this trailer creates a unsettling atmosphere that leaves you uncomfortable and gripped.
@e7242 I think its much creepier without a person. With a person, you have eyes looking back at you, thus you have a focus. A focus brings your attention to one part of the scene, and makes you ignore the rest of it. Without the focus, youre lost in the chaos of all that cascading blood.
@patFpeteOandyBjoe and you forgot about confusing.... I saw that movie like 6 times and I still don't understand it.... why the heck do they go through 3 levels of dreams? can't they just skip one or something?
@momo4895 it is confusing, i didn't get it til i watched it again... okay so their job is to plant an idea in Robert Fischer's brain, but they can't directly tell him the idea or it won't purely be his idea. So they have to go through the dreams and have events happen that will lead him to think of the idea himself. I think they can't skip levels because that's just the way it is.. no other explanation. it just is. ;]
It is true that some trailers can actually go down in history as being well-known and iconic short companions to their films; if all advertisers thought this way we as the movie-going American public could go into every film with our artistic expectations set high and not blown to stylistic smithereens with today's trailers. THIS TRAILER is a prime example of this concept.
[a couple others are the trailers to A Clockwork Orange (1971) and Psycho (1960)]
Great trailer for a great film all this trailer does plain and simple is show this movie is going to be terrifying and awesome. Which it was. Gives me goosebumps when i see this
sinister background music. Sounds like a swarm of flies. Is this an excerpt from the electronic score that initially was supposed to serve as the soundtrack before Kubrik switched to classical compositions?
Trailers should still be like this these days.. Now they put way too many scenes that when you go to watch it, you already know what's going to happen
This trailer has been put on Youtube so many times! LOL Not complaining, just making an observation. It's actually a *credit* to the trailer that people are affected by it that much to put it up!
you have some great stuff here

I'm pretty sure that this same music was used for one of the trailers for 2012.
(Probably because both are scary, and have large amounts of liquid travelling at you in slow motion.)

The music, as well as the lack of an announcer, makes the trailer.
It's more disturbing here than it is in the actual movie (where the scene is replayed at least 3 times).

only thing that could have had that more creepy is a person just standing in the middle of the floor looking at you after the wave of blood.

@Pookie791:
Me, too. Subtlety is such a lost art today. And horror movie trailers are the worst, the show all scariest parts before you even see the damned film.
This trailer is far more effective because you just don't know what to expect by watching this alone.
