Why hit record on this one
This trailer was made to be reacted to
Nobody watches a horror trailer with a straight face. The jump is the content, and the camera catches what you cannot.
Theatrical releases are won in the weeks before opening night, and trailer reactions are where that energy starts. Yours can be part of it.
