Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies official trailer? Well, what can't be asaid about the trailer? The title alone speaks for itself. It is a film adaptation of the 2009 novel by Seth Grahame-Smith parodying Jane Austen's 1813 classic novel "Pride and Prejudice". It is Pride and Prejudice only set in an alternate reality where a zombie outbreak endangers the 19th century England and it is up its English citizen to fight them using a wide arsenal of zombie killing weapons and martial arts. It is so ridiculous but it worked as the 2009 parody novel has been warmly received by critics and became a part of various best seller list (mainly New York Times and later at Amazon). A novel that warmly welcomes classical literature fans and the more contemporary fans of horror, comedy, and zombies.


One shouldn't really be surprised as many bestselling novel have been subjected to various film adaptation and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is way up on that list. The film is simply a treat for both classical literature fans whom had enjoyed the Jane Austen novel and modern movie fans into zombies. Who wouldn't want to see 19th century classy English women using martial arts (even Ninjutsu) to fight off hordes of zombies? Let's just hope that this film adaptation gives justice to its source material. You can learn more about both bestselling novels (the original 1813 Jane Austen classic and the 2009 parody by Seth Grahame-Smith) by checking out Wikipedia.

The Forest Film Trailer Review


What can we say about The Forest (2016) official movie trailer? Well, to what we can make of the film from the official trailer we can tell that there are quite a few (cheap) jump scares which you will either love or hate. Well this is an American film but somehow I kind of feel that Hollywood is emulating more of what makes Japanese horror endearing. Japan has quite a massive folklore and unique culture to work with; this is probably why they are able to effectively pull off good scares unlike that of the US horror films as of recent memory. This is maybe we are seeing more and more US adaptation of Asian horror or Western horror films setting up shop in Asia, mainly Japan. The Forest is still an American horror and it shows with the horror mascot it prefer to show on the trailer, a man with whose decayed faced is visible on the sack placed in his head. I don't know maybe the guy has some significance to the story; could be quite disappointing if he has none.


The premise is nothing really groundbreaking, a sister starts seeking out her twin who was reported to last seen in Japan's Suicide Forest in Aokigahara which is at the foot of Mt. Fuji and once there horror ensues. I don't know but basing from the Wiki entry that the film is categorized as a horror and a thriller. I can sense that this is heading more of a psychological thriller route and the vivid images we see might just be in the head of Sara, or I don't know maybe there is a "paranormal" connection. The question is will that mystery makes you want to go see the film when it hits the theater on January 2016?

Deadpool Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Deadpool redband trailer? Well, what isn't there to say about the Deadpool redband trailer but it captures the essence of Deadpool or whatever that means. 20th Century Fox make amends from the Deadpool travesty that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine with a more loyal to its source material, the fourth wall breaking foul-mouthed Merc with the mouth. It is a treat to see the story of the well-beloved pop culture character and icon finally realized and properly given justice to. With Ryan Reynolds being a big Deadpool fan himself and the film opting out for a more Mature rating than a PG film. If a Deadpool film want to be taken seriously, it can never be rated under the PG rating.


The trailer which initially debuted in TBS' Conan (Check out the clip here) has gore, violence, and uncensored language that easily alarmed and conservative parents would never let their children watch. But for those who fell in love with the character, whether those who are big comic book fans or just like me who happens to stumble over the character of Deadpool a few years back, this film with its casting and overall feel is looking good for this 2016 Marvel - 20th Century Fox film. This trailer is already enough to build the hype when Deadpool comes to theaters by February 2016 and I'll definitely see it.
