Very excited for this. The trailer was very tense and I loved it!

The movie looks okay, and I reeeeaaallly don't wanna rain on anyone's parade, but...

It's starting to seem like people will eat up anything in pop culture right now if the idea of it is good -- while the execution just needs to be serviceable. Like, I highly doubt that casual moviegoers think there's anything special about this movie from the trailer, as it looks like it could literally be called "The Cliche Horror Movie". And that isn't necessarily a good or bad thing.

But after I saw the trailer, I said to myself: ehh, that was okay I guess, but I bet money that comic book fans will act like it's the second coming of Jesus because the idea of it is great and the execution is serviceable. And I was absolutely right.

Now, don't get me wrong; there's nothing bad about praising a good idea, but it seems weird to praise the serviceable execution of that idea because of the idea alone. If that makes any sense. For example; I don't know if many people here watched Eminem's BET cypher going against Trump, but everyone was acting like the rap was the greatest thing since Nas' Illmatic because the idea of a white superstar using their platform to speak up on the injustices of minorities was fantastic, even though the rap itself was...okay. And this isn't the only example -- it seems like people have become content with content in pop culture.

Anyway, the trailer was okay; not good or bad, but the comic book fans are overhyping it only because of the idea. Look, I get it's a fresh take on the CBM genre, but don't confuse the execution with the idea -- because they aren't the same thing. With that being said, I like that mainstream horror is being revitalized with Stranger Things, then IT, and now this movie, while meshing with the current CBM boom.

my god, look at anya *.*

ALSO: I don't think people realize how important storyboards are lol. Imagine how convenient it is to have an exact guideline from the script to the screen, knowing exactly what shot you want before you even shoot. I know it sounds basic, but it goes right over most people's heads. Just wanted to say that.

Not gonna lie, as a fan of horror movies, I thought that trailer was really good, kind of interested in this project now
