Aiiiee! Looks very interesting and intense. Not sure if I can tolerate these kinds of nightmares the way I used to. I’ll probably go see it anyways and be disturbingly uncomfortable for 2 hours.

Last summer I went on Junji Ito kick and got 3 of his classic collected works (Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo) . A master of tension in print form.

That trailer is leaning hard on that Blade Runner sound effect sample.

Caprice, Saul Tenser, Timlin.
Is it just me, but does DC always run with character names that stand out?

Here’s the original (although I gather that the recent film isn’t really a remake of this one.) It’s sci-fi technically, but closer to experimental film than traditional genre. Not for everyone, but I quite liked it.

Those low intro swells in this trailer (that are also in every scifi movie these days), what brass is that? Does a trombone go low enough? Is it a baritone? A sousaphone? Is there arco double bass in there as well? Is there a name for that particular phrase? Is it the world’s slowest whole step glissando? We need to know.
Is it just digitally altered?
Johnny Smith. When DC is stuck with the author’s character’s name.

Thanks for teaching me that phrase. I’ll add it to my list of things to avoid.
