Review: (#1, C+) Reminiscent of the cover used to sell the Monkey Shines short story, for a film poster, the lack of shadow and background detail is overbearing.

Trailer Rating: C+ / C+

Review: (#1, C+) Teasers are seldom well done and while there are moments in the trailer that are most interesting, they are ultimately weighed down by the plodding nature of the trailer itself.

(#2, C+) Presenting more of the narrative this time around, the audience gets the impression of a film exceptionally violent and for King fans, that’s a terrific selling point. That said, it’s not going to sell beyond those pre-interested viewers. Getting new ones will be so easily done with this trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
