So here it is folks.
Eh. I'll briefly explain my "eh" status. Briefly because there is no use picking apart a film based on trailer alone. Trailers can be cesspools of misdirection. But still, an "eh" springs forth.
I'm not a huge fan of the original. I mean, I like it. As far as rape/revenge goes, I don't believe it to be the king of the genre. This trailer also spells too much out for me. I almost feel like I don't need to see the film itself. That's just my hang up though. I don't like to be treated like a moron; keep me guessing a little!
Here's the big issue: I doubt there will be any rape. OK, maybe there will be "rape", or implied rape. But, from what I am gathering from that trailer, it looks like the focus will be on the parents revenge. It comes off as calculated and long winded. Again, misdirection and all... BUT, if the reason for the violent revenge is never built, the revenge itself will ring hollow and unnecessary.
In short, I personally have already made up my mind to dislike this. It may surpirse me though. I love a good surprise. The dad was great in Ghost.

well, it's not like they're going to load up the trailer with all kinds of rapin'. You might still get your graphic rape scene.
