	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It will be interesting to see what Jordan Peele and Nia DaCosta can do with this 1990s horror property. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Remake of the classic horror film could be worth a look. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer starts off well with a sense of dread, but by the end felt like any other horror film.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): A sci-fi film that doesn’t look as interesting as it should. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Sci-fi film seems to be a bit on the dull side. Thomas LaTourette (TL): An astronaut coming back to see if earth could be repopulated holds some promise, but the trailer did not hold total interest.

	Wesley Lovell (WL): Another look at serial killer Ted Bundy. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Ted Bundy’s last days on death row may give us a new perspective on the serial killer. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Another portrait of a serial killer, even one based in reality, but I am not sure we need it.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): While the concept isn’t new, the cast is superb and the trailer suggests and excellent execution. Peter J. Patrick (PP): COVID lockdown drama does not look very appealing. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks well acted, but this story of a couple imploding during the lockdown does not look terribly pleasant to sit through.
