“In this game, violence is rewarded. So learn to enjoy it.” That seems to be the thesis statement of Jordan Peele’s upcoming movie, HIM . But it’s not just a theory. Nope. We literally see a bloody training montage as the HIM trailer intensifies, complete with footballs flying at full force into players’ faces, cracking them open and sending blood gushing everywhere. Honestly, the trailer for HIM is bloodier than most of the horror movies we’ve seen in full this year. We feel surprised that such a level of brutality is allowed in a trailer. But it has us morbidly intrigued to see more, although queasy. HIM ’s trailer promises that this movie has audacity. It has vision. And it is not afraid to make an audience gasp and look away. If two minutes of footage has struck us so viscera
HIM Trailer Is Gorier in 2 Minutes Than Most Horror Movies in 2 Hours
