The Trailer for Fruit Chan's Don't Look Up

Source:ShockTillYouDrop.com
August 5, 2009


Our reps at Distant Horizon have passed along a gleefully grotesque trailer for Don't Look Up, director Fruit Chan's English-language supernatural thriller based on Hideo Nakata's tale "Joyurei." The following preview might have you look at childbirth in an entirely new light from now on and shows off more FX gags than you would expect.

Don't Look Up concerns a young horror film director's sensitivity to paranormal visions which sends him on a spiraling descent into madness that threatens his life and that of his crew. On location in the decrepit, abandoned former Transylvania Film Studios, the characters of the medieval Romanian folk tale he is attempting to adapt to film appear to come to life, opening a portal in which horrifying deeds from the past begin to recur.

Henry Thomas, Reshad Strik, Carmen Chaplin, Kevin Corrigan and Zelda Williams star. Even Eli Roth shows up for a cameo. We'll keep you posted when we hear of release news.

Interesting concept but the execution looks like a b-grade SciFi channel movie.

At least they cut the middle man out and went straight to the "American Remake" phase of production

I think you mean SyFy channel.

it got potential, but really it doesnt belong to be on the dvd shelf.

I like the scene with the baby sliding across the room. That was hilarious. I'm not sure how to take this, it sometimes seems like an over the top horror film like Evil Dead 2, Re-Animator and Return of the Living Dead, especially with the aformentioned baby scene. But at the same time it looks like a streight film as well.

Fruit Chan has some chops to work with the content he does...but he seems to like the concept of birth, or lack thereof.

I agree with the delivery of the film being more suitable for DVD.

ico, here is Australia it's still the Sci-Fi channel, but you understood what I was saying.

God that's a stupid name..."SyFy"

Okay I just watched a behind-the-scenes featurette and this trailer does not do the story justice at all...nor does it depict the apparent quality, which is better than the trailer, of the film.
