The wave of ’80s nostalgia continues its mining of popular horror films by adapting John Carpenter’s classic.

Poster

Trailer
Rating: C+
Commentary: I like that the poster is so simplistic. It doesn’t try to be more than it could have been (a failing of a number of genre pictures), but it’s perhaps a little too minimalist for its own good. 		Rating: B
Commentary: Keeping the creature under wraps and in disguise, even though you know that it is a chameleon of sorts, adds some suspense to the trailer that should draw in a few more viewers than the curious fans of the original.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: None.
