Just a day after the first still came to light, the trailer for Fruit Chan's take on the Hideo Nakata tale Joyurei, Don't Look Up, has dropped; and it looks insane.
The story follows the slow descent into madness of a film director when malicious spirits from another era invade the film stock of his latest effort and open a window to evil!
Don't Look Up starring Henry Thomas, Kevin Corrigan, Lothaire Bluteau, Carmen Chaplin, Reshad Strik, and Eli Roth will be playing at The Sitges Film Festival. Check out the trailer below courtesy of eagle eyed reader "slice".

*sigh*
Nakata's original is a terrific little ghost story, in the subtle style of Wise's _The Haunting_. A superior made-for-TV chiller that clearly earned him the chance to make the original _Ring_. It's all atmosphere with *maybe* a trickle of blood once.
This name-only OTT CGI splatterfest remake is so absurd that the the trailer made me laugh out loud. (The baby-drag is a hoot! :) Lame.
Well, at least they may _finally_ release the original on DVD in the States...

Now this looks like something that could be frightening! Hopefully it won't disappoint.
