Review: (#1) A weakly creepy design that pulls directly from the film both literally and symbolically. (#2) The creepiness of the design isn’t as notable as it needs to be.

Trailer Rating: C / C

Review: (#1) Trying to sell a film that is built on cliched and predictable narrative designs is injured by the slow, lugubrious pace of a scene from the film played for too long.

(#2) The second trailer plays out like a typical supernatural horror film and doesn’t create anything remotely distinct as a result.
