Trailer Reactions
Horror · Thriller
Much to his wife’s chagrin, Michael can’t seem to settle on the ending to his latest novel. Even though he has owed the publisher for some time now, he keeps deleting and tweaking the ending to his tale of horror, with each change ultimately affecting the outcome of the group of teens who are being killed one by one by an unknown killer in his story.

Why this trailer earns a reaction
This trailer was made to be reacted to
The trick of a thriller tease is what it withholds. React to what you saw, then argue about what you did not.
Theatrical releases are won in the weeks before opening night, and trailer reactions are where that energy starts. Yours can be part of it.
