While writing my review of the Psycho franchise, I got distracted (as is common), and started watching trailers I'd never seen of old horror movies. Now, I've seen the original Exorcist, of course, and I've seen the third movie many years ago. I'd never actually seen the second film and, after watching this trailer, I now know I never will.

I mean, seriously. Think of the original Exorcist and what made it so great. Now, watch this trailer.

The original was a tense, realistic story based on a factual account and a metaphor for basic beliefs and good vs evil. This trailer has got all kinds of fucking lunacy going on, including, if I'm not mistaken, a giant cockroach.

Just.. who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me.

What kind of Engrish is that? Man, that was like the Gangnam Style of horror trailers. It was kind of awesome in it's way.

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2
