1. Tongue Splitter
The final shot of the trailer is its god, its so f***ing disgusting. Its awesome! After being horrifically raped by the tree in the previous segment of the trailer, the same poor girl - now presumably well on the way to full Deadite - then proceeds to split her own tongue in half by licking the blade of a dirty knife. Its horrific but its also quite overtly sexual too; Raimi really knows how to make a viewer feel uncomfortable. But then, thats precisely what horror is about, am I right? What a way to end the trailer. I am completely and utterly sold. It looks like, from the trailer at least, an amazing adaptation of the source. Of course, thats because as Ive mentioned, Raimi is on board as both producer
and writer. In fact the only way it could be better is if Raimi was himself helming the project as director. But you know what, from the above shot, hell, from the entire trailer, Id go so far as to predict that Fede Alvarez has done an astounding job of it; if he hadnt, why would Raimi have trusted him with head-honcho duties? Im more excited for this particular remake than I probably have been about the last ten remakes out of Hollywood combined. How do you feel about it? Id genuinely love to hear your thoughts.
