• Poster: C-

Review:

Awash in red like a painter spilling his bucket across a canvas, the darkness of the design and the inexplicable angelic reference make for a confusing and unsuccessful poster.

• Trailer: B; B-; B-; B-

Review:

While watching the trailer, you would think you were watching one feature, but as it explains that the three segments are directed by different people and then reveals it is actually a trilogy, it's not hard to be amazed at how seamlessly they have woven the stories together visually.

In a combined single trailer, when you're sure it's only one film, is far more interesting than when the three films are given separate trailers. I like the concept and think it might certainly be worth watching, but the lighting and acting aren't showing off very well.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
